Ring Android

This repository is meant for the porting of Ring to Android.

Environment

Make sure you have the android-ndk and android-sdk, and you'll want something like this in your .bashrc (or equivalent):

export ANDROID_NDK=$HOME/src/android-ndk
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_NDK
export ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/src/android-sdk-linux
export ANDROID_HOME=$ANDROID_SDK
export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools:${PATH}

install swig-2.0.6 or later and python-2.7 or later on your system

Build instructions

Supported archs are: armeabi-v7a, armeabi, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64 or mips

Example:

ANDROID_ABI ="armeabi-v7a, x86"

Then:

./compile.sh

We use a tested hash to build ring daemon, but if you want to use master:

cd ring && git pull
cd -
./compile --build

--build will bypass the tested hash's checkout.

When all else fails:

rm -rf ring-daemon
git clean -dfx

And start again.

Update translations

Update translations using the Transifex client (tx) :

./update-translations.sh
