I am new to working on projects in a team. I need to Share an android project with my team placed at one local server machine with the other machines connected through LAN. We are using Eclipse for project development.

How can i place project code on one machine and then multiple people can work on it from their respected machines on same LAN. The programmers can CheckIn/ CheckOut the files and all.

Its just a start for me in this field so don't have much idea about this.

Well, there are several options. Assuming you HAVE to work on a LAN network, there is TFS for eclipse.

However, if you do have a reliable internet connection, there are much more popular options such as Git which allows you to have a 'master' branch with different team members working on local copies and then 'committing' changes.

  • Thanks for the answer. I installed **tfs** plugin but can you please provide me a link or source that can help me set up the **Visual Studio Team Foundation Server** on my server machine. I am trying to add my server location like "http://10.228.18.171:8080/tfs/" in eclipse TFS **add server** section but its not working – isumit Apr 23 '14 at 08:31
  • @isumit, I would love to help and should have more free time later today. For starters, you say it is not working. Are there any error messages? – AmmarCSE Apr 23 '14 at 08:34
  • thanks. I am getting this error : the SOAP endpoint http://10.228.18.171:8080/tfs/Services/V1.0/Registration.asmx could not be contacted. HTTP status: 404 – isumit Apr 23 '14 at 08:39

    Of course, take a look at [Set Up TFS](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh561426.aspx) and let me know how it goes – AmmarCSE Apr 23 '14 at 09:51

The Best way to go is to use a version control system (VCS).

There are mainly two types of version control systems.

  1. Centralized (Eg. SVN)
  2. Distributed (Eg. Git)

I would recommend you to go with Distributed VCS as it is more powerful and gives you more flexibility.

Try http://github.com or http://bitbucket.org

You can even setup your own git server
