 *an abridged version of the official guide found [here](https://developer.android.com/tools/building/building-cmdline.html)*
 
-1. install java and ant
-2. download the Android SDK from [android.com](https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) (the full ADT bundle in fine, too)
-3. get the `tools/` and/or `platform-tools/` directories on your path
-4. `android update sdk --no-ui` (this could take a while)
-5. go to both of the following NewsBlur directories and run `android update project --path .`:
-  * `NewsBlur/media/android/NewsBlur/`
-  * `NewsBlur/media/android/NewsBlur/libs/ActionBarSherlock/`
-6. build a test APK with `ant clean && ant debug` from `NewsBlur/media/android/NewsBlur/` (.apk will be in `NewsBlur/media/android/NewsBlur/bin/`)
+1. install java and ant (prefer official JDK over OpenJDK)
+2. download the Android SDK from [android.com](https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
+3. get the `tools/` and/or `platform-tools/` directories ifrom the SDK on your path
+4. `android update sdk --no-ui` (this could take a while; you can use the --filter option to just get the SDK, platform tools, and support libs)
+5. go to the clients/android/ NewsBlur directory and run `android update project --name NewsBlur --path .`
+6. build a test APK with `ant clean && ant debug` (.apk will be in `/bin` under the working directory)
