Verification Steps

The following can be done to verify the build:

# Navigate to project
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/alfred-mobile

# Set environment variables
export JAVA_HOME=~/android-dev/jdk-17.0.2
export ANDROID_HOME=~/android-dev/android-sdk
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH

# Build debug APK
./gradlew assembleDebug

# Run tests (when added)
./gradlew test

# Check dependencies
./gradlew dependencies
