| 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 target 200, then chose 'A' for Android |
| 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" |
