Dependencies: V, Linux, Java 8, Android SDK + NDK
git clone git@github.com:Larpon/vab.git
cd vab
v vab.v
If vab fails to detect your environment you can set ENV variables:
JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java8
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/path/to/android_sdk_linux
ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/path/to/android_ndk_linux
VEXE=/path/to/custom/v/binary
Until vab get support for setting up the complete dependency chain
you can avoid Android Studio by using commandline tools.
Android commandline tools can be downloaded from here
Or with curl:
curl -# --output commandlinetools-linux.zip https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-6609375_latest.zip
You can then use sdkmanager from that zip to install the Android SDK and NDK (NOTE these are quite huge downloads):
(If your default Java is not Java 8 - set JAVA_HOME before use)
JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-21" "build-tools;29.0.3" "ndk;21.1.6352462"
You can build an Android app ready for the Play Store with the following command
export KEYSTORE_PASSWORD="pass"
export KEYSTORE_ALIAS_PASSWORD="word"
./vab -prod --name "V App" --package-id "com.example.app.id" --icon /path/to/file.png --version-code <int> --keystore /path/to/sign.keystore --keystore-alias "example" /path/to/v/source/file/or/dir
You can also build debug builds and deploy directly to a device for testing
./vab --name "V App" --package-id "com.example.app.id" --device-id deadbeef /path/to/v/source/file/or/dir
