Building FBReader using Android Studio and Gradle
Tested on a fresh installation of Windows 8.1 x64 using Android Studio v1.02 build 1653844, jdk-7u71-windows-x64, and android-ndk-r10d.
-
Clone the project into your %userprofile%\AndroidStudioProjects\
-
Import the project into Android Studio
-
Perform a project level gradle sync (CTR+SHIFT+A and search for "project sync", double click the first result).
Android Studio may complain about not finding a git.exe in your path, but this will not prevent you from building the project -
Install Android SDK Platform API 14 when prompted
-
Install Android SDK Platform API 5 when prompted
-
Install Android SDK Platform API 11 when prompted
-
FBReader has now been successfully built using Android Studio, but is missing the necessary binaries (*.so)
Compiling the binaries
-
To compile the binaries from the source, navigate to where you extracted the NDK
-
Execute the following command in your shell:
ndk-build -C %userprofile%\AndroidStudioProjects\FBReaderJ\fBReaderJ\src\main\jni
The binaries should be automatically placed into the appropriate directories (%userprofile%\AndroidStudioProjects\FBReaderJ\fBReaderJ\src\main\lib)
-
Finally, rebuild the project. FBReader should now run without issue on the emulator/on your device.
