Prerequisites: - First of all you have to properly setup your Android SDK/NDK: - Download and install the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html - Make sure you have updated and installed the following in your Android SDK Manager: - "/Tools" - the newest Android SDK Platform folder (e.g. "/Android 4.4 (API 19)") - "/Extras/Android Support Repository" and "/Extras/Android Support Library" - Download and install the Android NDK http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html - Make sure you setup your environment variables correctly: - $ANDROID_HOME should point to your Android SDK root (e.g. /home/maffen/android-sdk/) - $ANDROID_NDK_HOME should point to your Android NDK root (e.g. /home/maffen/android-ndk-r8e/) Build it on the commandline with gradle: - Simply run "./gradlew assembleDebug" for the debug build or "./gradlew assembleRelease" for the release build in your tomahawk-android checkout directory. The built apk will be put into "tomahawk-android/build/apk" Setup using Android Studio and gradle (highly recommended): - Open Android Studio and go to "File"->"Import Project" - Browse to your tomahawk-android checkout and click "OK". - Make sure that the radio-button "Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)" is selected. - Click "next" and that's it :) tomahawk-android should compile right away Setup using other IDEs without gradle: - Import tomahawk-android into the IDE of your choice - tomahawk-android depends on the following jar libraries: - acra-4.5.0.jar (https://github.com/ACRA/acra) - android.support.v4.jar - In addition tomahawk-android uses these library projects: - Android Support v7 appcompat library - StickyListHeaders (https://github.com/emilsjolander/StickyListHeaders) - Make sure you setup the support libraries correctly (http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html) - Add all dependencies to your tomahawk-android project - Since libspotify is only available as a c-library, we have to use the NDK in order to connect the native c/c++ stuff with our Java/Android code: - Run the ndk-build script inside the tomahawk-android project folder before every new build The desired outcome shows these two lines in its console output: - Install : libspotify.so => libs/armeabi/libspotify.so - Install : libspotifywrapper.so => libs/armeabi/libspotifywrapper.so - tomahawk-android should now compile successfully.
