Using NetCDF-Java on Android

It turned out to be easy to get NetCDF-Java working on Android.

Using the latest version of Android Studio (1.4), I created a stock android app.

To test, I need a netCDF data file. A quick google turned up some samples from Unidata:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/examples/files.html

I downloaded one and copied it to my android device.

My gradle file looks like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
    compileSdkVersion 23    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.intelligentmobiledesign.netcdf"        minSdkVersion 16        targetSdkVersion 23        versionCode 1        versionName "1.0"    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'    compile project(path: ':backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')
    compile "edu.ucar:cdm:5.0.0"    compile "org.slf4j:slf4j-jdk14:1.7.12"    compile "edu.ucar:bufr:5.0.0"    compile "edu.ucar:clcommon:5.0.0"    compile "edu.ucar:grib:5.0.0"    compile "edu.ucar:netcdf4:5.0.0"    compile "edu.ucar:opendap:5.0.0"    compile "edu.ucar:visadCdm:5.0.0"}
