Rockbox as an application: Commit current Android port progress. General state is: Rockbox is usable (plays music, saves configuration, touchscreen works too). Problems: - Playing music in the background (i.e. when switching to another app) doesn't work reliably, but I'm working on that now. - no cabbiev2 (only some preliminary files for it), no other default theme. - screen flickers sometimes if the updates are too frequent - no multi screen apk/package - strange behavior when a phone call comes in The java files (and the eclipse project) resides in android/, which is also supposed to be the build folder. I've put a small README in there for instructions. There are some steps needed after the make part, which are described there, and which eclipse mostly handles. But there ought to be some script/makefile rules which do that instead in the future. git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@27668 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657

This folder contains the java parts needed to build an Rockbox as an
application for android.
Update README a bit. git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@27718 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657

* Prerequisites
Extend android.make so that it can generate a debug signed apk. 'make && make apk && adb install -r bin/Rockbox.apk' should work now. You should now be able to develop without eclipse. git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@27980 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657

Download and install the Android SDK[1] and NDK[2].
After you extracted the SDK, you need to run <sdk-dir>/tools/android in order to
install the actual platform sdk from the available packages tab (SDK Platform
Android 1.5 or above should work).
In the virtual devices tab you can also setup a emulator.

Then, make sure you have the ANDROID_SDK_PATH and ANDROID_NDK_PATH (pointing to
the each's root directory) environment variables set up, otherwise configure will fail to find the compiler and
compiling the java files will fail.

NOTE: make apk needs creates a debug signed .apk, not suitable for distribution.
It expects that this key already exists.
You should be able to generate it with "keytool" using the following options:
* Keystore name: "debug.keystore"
* Keystore password: "android"
* Key alias: "androiddebugkey"
* Key password: "android"
* CN: "CN=Android Debug,O=Android,C=US"
* validity: 365 days

Google docs mention the SDK tools can generate it as well, but I haven't found how yet.
