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].
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Use this as your build folder, using '../tools/configure' etc.
|
|
$ ../tools/configure # type 200, then chose A for android and your screen resolution
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the build finished, build the zip file which contains codecs and themes (the binary is a separate file):
|
|
$ make zip
|
|
|
|
Once you have the zip, pack it and the binary into the apk
|
|
$ make apk
|
|
|
|
Side note: You don't necessarily need to recreate the zip once you have it, only if you're unsure or if you know its content changed.
|
|
Not recreating it will save time because it's only unzipped on the device if it's newer than what's on the device
|
|
|
|
You can install that on your device or emulator with the following command:
|
|
$ $ANDROID_SDK_PATH/tools/adb install -r bin/Rockbox.apk
