Thomas Martitz 6499ce3e44 android: Get the port up and running again The build system needed fixes because the tools paths changed and one tool that we used (apkbuilder) was removed entirely. Recent NDKs don't ship gcc 4.4.3 anymore, therefore switch to 4.6. The code itself needed a fix for a jni reference bug that was uncovered by KitKat. The port now builds with latest sdk (r22) and ndk (r9d). Change-Id: Id74fa54ba93bbb0ee30373fbe79e92c5ff03201d		2014-03-09 18:11:35 +01:00

README

This folder contains the java parts needed to build an Rockbox as an
application for android.

* Prerequisites

Download and install the Android SDK[1] and NDK[2], or run installToolchain.sh.
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.

* Build instructions

1. Create a separate build folder. Do not build in this source directory.

2. Run "../tools/configure". Choose the "Android" target and input your
   screen resolution.

3. Run "make"

4. Run "make zip". This has to be run the first time, and any time themes
   or plugins have changed. Otherwise you may skip it.

5. Run "make apk"

6. Optional. Install on your target/emulator, using the following command:
   "$ANDROID_SDK_PATH/tools/adb install -r rockbox.apk"
