1 This folder contains the java parts needed to build an Rockbox as an
2 application for android.
6 Download and install the Android SDK[1] and NDK[2], or run installToolchain.sh.
7 After you extracted the SDK, you need to run <sdk-dir>/tools/android in order to
8 install the actual platform sdk from the available packages tab (SDK Platform
9 Android 1.5 or above should work).
10 In the virtual devices tab you can also setup a emulator.
13 Then, make sure you have the ANDROID_SDK_PATH and ANDROID_NDK_PATH (pointing to
14 the each's root directory) environment variables set up, otherwise configure will fail to find the compiler and
15 compiling the java files will fail.
19 1. Create a separate build folder. Do not build in this source directory.
21 2. Run "../tools/configure". Choose target 200, then chose 'A' for Android
22 and input your screen resolution.
26 4. Run "make zip". This has to be run the first time, and any time themes
27 or plugins have changed. Otherwise you may skip it.
31 6. Optional. Install on your target/emulator, using the following command:
32 "$ANDROID_SDK_PATH/tools/adb install -r rockbox.apk"
