Change run configuration to 'app' and launch app in emulator.

Testing on a real Android device

Ensure the device running appengine module and your android device are connected to the same network.
In BuildItBigger/jokebackend/build.gradle, uncomment the line httpAddress in appengine closure.
In BuildItBigger/app/build.gradle, replace the GCE_ROOT_URL string with the ip address of the machine on which appengine module is running. You can get this by running ifconfig. Basically "http://10.0.2.2:8080/_ah/api/" will be replaced by "http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:8080/_ah/api/".
Perform a gradle sync.
Change run configuration to 'jokebackend' and run. Verify that the appengine module has been successfully started by opening http://localhost:8080/ in a browser.
