Building for Android

1. Get the SDK (scroll down to Command line tools only). Extract the SDK to somewhere like ~/android/sdk. Set ANDROID_SDK to this directory.

pushd $ANDROID_SDK/bin
./sdkmanager --update --sdk_root=$ANDROID_SDK
./sdkmanager --install "build-tools;34.0.0" --sdk_root=$ANDROID_SDK
./sdkmanager --install "platform-tools" --sdk_root=$ANDROID_SDK
./sdkmanager --install "platforms;android-23" --sdk_root=$ANDROID_SDK
popd

3. Get the NDK. Extract the NDK to somewhere like ~/android/ndk. Set ANDROID_NDK to this directory.
4. Set ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS to the build tools directory, in this case $ANDROID_SDK/build-tools/34.0.0.
5. Check config.nims, in particular tcDir.
6. Generate a keystore using keytool, which should come with Java I think:

keytool -genkeypair -validity 1000 \
-dname "CN=Android,O=Android,C=US" \
-keystore Android.keystore \
-storepass 'android' \
-keypass 'android' \
-alias testKey \
-keyalg RSA

7. Check strife30.nimble. Set keystoreFile, storePass, keyPass, keyAlias accordingly.
8. Run nimble apk.
