Jenkins is a integration server and used to build software automatically.
Jenkins also monitors external tasks.
Jenkins can periodically build software from SVN.
Install Jenkins and access http://localhost:8080.
Create Jenkins Job!
The details about building a source code have to be stored in Jenkins. So you create a Jenkins Job.
Jenkins Job can be in Windows batch, Linux shell script, Ant or Maven script.
When a developer check-in his code, Jenkins builds the code (either polling a SCM or periodically triggered).
Jenkins not only builds a project periodically, but has great capabilities. For example, with Jenkins plugins, use Jenkins as Android App development tool, or use it for file tracking, or use it for monitoring tool for cron jobs in Linux.

Jenkins allow to build and run APK file on an Android Emulator. Tasks like SDK installation, build file generation, emulator creation and launching, APK installation/ uninstallation, monkey testing and analysis etc all can be done with Jenkins.
