Ring Android

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

Environnement

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=

ANDROID_NDK export ANDROID_SDK=ANDROID_SDK export PATH={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

export ANDROID_ABI="[insert list of arch here with spaces]" Example: ANDROID_ABI ="armeabi-v7a, x86"

./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 chekout

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
