Solomon Peachy cfc02cadcc android: Fix configure script for "newer" versions of the NDK The oldest verison of the NDK one can still download today is version 10e from mid-2015, which comes with GCC 4.9, and no longer supports 32-bit hosts. With this, one can actually compile the iBasso DX50/DX90 targets again, as well as the generic android target, as long as one has the correct SDK platforms (v16 for ibasso, v19 for generic) and SDK tools installed.

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"
