Building on Android
===================
There are two versions: with QT and without QT.
### Note: *Build works ONLY on Linux systems. Current documentation shows how to build application on Ubuntu 18.04*
Pre-requisites
--------------
You need to install Android SDK and NDK. For QT version, you also need QT with android support.
You need to install `rename` (required for building libraries), `OpenJDK` 11+, `gradle` 5.1+ and `Android SDK`.
- [SDK](https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html) (choose command line tools only, and make sure you installed "Android SDK Build-Tools")
- [NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html)
- [QT](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/)(for QT only).
Choose one for your platform for android. For example QT 5.6 under Linux would be [this file](http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.1-1/qt-opensource-linux-x64-android-5.6.1-1.run)
You also need Java JDK (prefer Oracle Java 8), Ant and [latest Gradle](https://gradle.org/releases/) (min version 3.4).
QT-Creator (for QT only)
------------------------
```
sudo apt-get install g++ rename openjdk-11-jdk gradle
```
Open QT-creator that should be installed with QT.
Go to Settings/Android and specify correct paths to SDK and NDK.
If everything is correct you will see two set available:
Android for armeabi-v7a (gcc, qt) and Android for x86 (gcc, qt).
- Android [SDK](https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads) (choose command line tools only)
- If your system provides gradle with version < 5.1, download it from [Gradle](https://gradle.org/install/) homepage
Dependencies
------------
Take following pre-compiled binaries from PurpleI2P's repositories.
Prepare Android SDK and install required packages
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/Boost-for-Android-Prebuilt.git -b boost-1_72_0
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/OpenSSL-for-Android-Prebuilt.git
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/MiniUPnP-for-Android-Prebuilt.git
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/android-ifaddrs.git
```bash
mkdir /tmp/android-sdk
cd /tmp/android-sdk
wget <latest SDK link>
unzip commandlinetools-linux-*_latest.zip
# install required tools
./cmdline-tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=/opt/android-sdk "build-tools;31.0.0" "cmake;3.18.1" "ndk;21.4.7075529"
```
Prepare Android SDK and install required packages
Clone repository with submodules
```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd-android.git
```
Compile required libraries
mkdir android-sdk
cd android-sdk
wget -t0 <link to latest SDK from Android site>
unzip commandlinetools-XXXXXX-XXXXXX.zip -d cmdline-tools
./cmdline-tools/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;25.0.3" "platforms;android-14" "platforms;android-25" "platform-tools"
```bash
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/opt/android-sdk
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/ndk/21.4.7075529
Building the app with QT
------------------------
pushd app/jni
./build_boost.sh
./build_openssl.sh
./build_miniupnpc.sh
popd
```
- Open `qt/i2pd_qt/i2pd_qt.pro` in the QT-creator
- Change line `MAIN_PATH = /path/to/libraries` to an actual path where you put the dependencies to
- Select appropriate project (usually armeabi-v7a) and build
- You will find an .apk file in `android-build/bin` folder
Building Android application
--------
Building the app without QT
---------------------------
### Build application
- Change line `I2PD_LIBS_PATH` in `android/jni/Application.mk` to an actual path where you put the dependencies to
- Create or edit file 'local.properties'. Place 'sdk.dir=`<path to SDK>`' and 'ndk.dir=`<path to NDK>`'
- Run `gradle clean cleanBuildCache assembleDebug` from `android` folder
- You will find an .apk file in `android/build/outputs/apk` folder
- Create `local.properties` file with path to SDK and NDK
```
sdk.dir=/opt/android-sdk
ndk.dir=/opt/android-sdk/ndk/21.4.7075529
```
- Run `gradle clean assembleDebug`
- You will find an .apk file in `app/build/outputs/apk` folder
Creating release .apk
---------------------
### Creating release .apk
In order to create release .apk you must obtain a Java keystore file(.jks). Either you have in already, or you can generate it yourself using keytool, or from one of you existing well-known certificates.
For example, i2pd release are signed with this [certificate](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/blob/openssl/contrib/certificates/router/orignal_at_mail.i2p.crt).
For example, i2pd release are signed with this [certificate](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/9000b3df4edcbe7f2c8afd0e1e30609746311ace/contrib/certificates/router/orignal_at_mail.i2p.crt).
Change file 'build.gradle':

Building executable android binary
Building executable binary
------------------------------
- Change line `I2PD_LIBS_PATH` in `android_binary_only/jni/Application.mk` to an actual path where you put the dependencies to
- Run `ndk-build -j <threads>` from `android_binary_only` folder
- You will find an `i2pd` executable in `android_binary_only/libs/armeabi-v7a` folder
- Set environment variables:
```
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/opt/android-sdk
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/ndk/21.4.7075529
```
- Run `$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/ndk-build -j <threads> NDK_MODULE_PATH=$PWD` from `binary/jni` folder
- You will find an `i2pd` executable in `android_binary_only/libs/<architecture>` folder
