| AndroidKit is an AAR, or Android Library, that compiles Skia's native code, |
| JNI bindings, and Java wrapper classes into a shared library. |
| |
| BUILDING |
| |
| 1) Through Android Studio |
| - Start a project by opening skia/platform_tools/android/apps with Android Studio. |
| - Ensure that you're local.properties file is filled out with paths to your |
| Skia out directories. It should look like this: |
| |
| sdk.dir=[sdk file path] |
| depot_tools.dir=[depot tools file path] |
| x86.out.dir=[out file for x86] |
| x64.out.dir=[out file for x64] |
| arm64.out.dir=[out file for xarm64] |
| arm.out.dir=[out file for arm] |
| |
| - Click on AndroidKit on the project tree, click Build in the toolbar, and select |
| " Make Module 'apps.androidkit' " |
| - The AAR will be under the build/outputs/aar directory. |
| |
| 2) Through the terminal |
| - Run: platform_tools/android/bin/android_build_app -C out/[out_dir] androidkit |
| - If it builds with no errors, you’ll find the AAR in the out directory you were building from |
| |
| |
| LOADING |
| |
| Before using AndroidKit classes, client applications must explicitly load the native library. |
| This is usually accomplished via a static class initializer, e.g. |
| |
| public class MyApp { |
| static { |
| System.loadLibrary("androidkit"); |
| } |
| |
| ... |
| } |
