The two once are BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY for building static library and BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY for building shared library.įor the example project here we use the BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY. The NDK provides you with two make files that parse and build everything accordingly to your Android.mk file. You do not need to add headers or include files the system will take care of that for you. Here you add a list of the files you need to compile your module. The only exception is if you add ‘lib’ first in your module name then the system will not add it. The system will add ‘lib’ before the module name when compiling into the. Later used in java when loading the module.

This is where you set the name used as the identifier for each module. Since all the building and parsing is done in the same context the variables called LOCAL_XXX is globals and need to be cleared. The macro ‘my-dir’ is the path where the Android.mk file is located. In the Android.mk file write this: LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)Īn Android.mk file must begin defining the LOCAL_PATH variable, this is where the source files are. Your setup to the ndk-build works and you are missing the Android.mk file.Ĭreate a new file called Android.mk in the jni folder. Stop.Īndroid NDK: Your APP_BUILD_SCRIPT points to an unknown file: /Users/uncle/Workspaces/ndk-setup/NDKSetup/jni/Android.mk
#Android ndk command line android#
Press run and you will get this error: /Users/uncle/ndk-setup/android-ndk-r6b/build/core/add-application.mk:118: *** Android NDK: Aborting. You should now have something looking like this: The working directory is the jni folder we created in our project. Click on ‘Browse file system…’ and locate the ndk-build file located under your NDK folder. Location is the location of the external tool you want to run, in our case the ndk-build file. Mark the ‘Program’ and click on the ‘new’-icon. Click on the small down arrow on the external tool button and choose the ‘External Tools Configuration…’. The next thing we need to do is to setup Eclipse so we can build the JNI code.
#Android ndk command line how to#
I will show you how to get started by making a small application called NDKSetup.Ĭreate a new android project for this example I will call it NDKSetup.įirst thing we need to do is to create a new folder called ‘jni’
#Android ndk command line install#
Select it and click ‘next’ and follow the install instructions. Under ‘Programming Languages’ you will find ‘C/C++ Development Tools’.
#Android ndk command line update#
From the ‘Help’ menu choose ‘Install New Software…’įrom the drop down select the update site for your eclipse version, in my case Indigo. To make it a bit easier we also install the C/C++ Development Tools to get C/C++ support in Eclipse. The NDK is located at with an installation guide. The SDK is located at There is a really good installation guide at Android NDK Installing Eclipse is simply just unpacking the downloaded file. I usually go with the Eclipse Classic version. You will need to download and install a couple of things. So you will need some knowledge about working with Android. I will not get into details about installing the basic components but will focus on setting up the environment. My goal with this entry is to gather all the information you need to get started with the Android NDK. You want to try out the Android NDK? I have gotten a lot of questions about how to setup and work with the NDK and I decided to write down how I do it.
