Android :: How To Build An Android App With External Libraries Using Ant?
Mar 17, 2010
I have an existing project that builds fine using my IDE.I'd like to use the "android update" command to generate an ant buildfile for this project.The buildfile is generated fine, but the build fails because it's not building with some jarfiles I have in my libs directory.I'd like to figure out the proper way to tell ant to build with some external jar files in my libs directory. How should I do this? Is it a property in build.properties? Do I need to modify build.xml somehow? Or is there a different solution entirely?

I am building an app that scrapes information from web pages. To do that I have chosen to use an HTML scraper called J soup because it's so simple to use. Jsoup is also dependent on Apache Commons Lang library. (Together they make up a total of 385kB ). So Jsoup will be used to Download the page and parse it. My question is if the use of these simplifying libraries, instead of using Androids built-in libraries, will make my app slower? (in terms of downloading data and parsing). I was thinking that the internal libraries would be optimized for Android.

Will external library (for parsing JSON) work on 1.5 if it works on 2.1? So are libraries limited by android version? If yes, why?

I have a project that I would like to add external libraries to (and have them packaged with the application) but I am not sure it is happening. I read on this link:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html. how to, but they do not show up in any of the /data/data/project directories. Does anyone know how I can confirm that the libraries were in fact added to the project for use at runtime?

I'm trying to build an Android project that has some dependencies. The jar files are in the lib/ directory. I can build the project by adding those jar file to my class path, but of course it Force Closes in the emulator because those libraries aren't present. I'm doing this from the command line with ant (not in eclipse). How can I make it include those libraries in the apk from the command line?

I'm working with Android at the moment, trying to avoid using Eclipse (for which I have an irrational hatred).
I need to include an external .jar file (used in my Activity)and have no idea how to link it for ant debug...
I've read up on build.xml files but adding <path id="compiler.classpath">...</...> or <classpath> nodes to the XML doesn't help fix it.

I'm starting with android, and the app I'm developing is gonna need custom widgets look (glossy buttons, animated backgrounds etc.),I've googled for any external libraries to achieve this and did not find anything. let me guess, the only way to this is by painly extending base view classes and overriding onDraw etc?

I downloaded the Android 2.2 source code and try to build it. When I executed the make command, I got an error here like this build/core/java.mk:20: *** frameworks/ex/common: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. Then I changed the frameworks/ex/common/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7. Next place, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/jsr305: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/jsr305/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
Last one, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/guava: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/guava/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
By these changes the code started the compilation.
1. Why the error occured?
2. Changes which I did is correct or not?

I have a phone with a MT6577. The vendor (Wiko) published the kernel source code. So, i'm trying to build it. I can get the zImage. I converted it to boot.img but i can't boot with it on my phone.build a good zImage? (if you want to try) : URL...
cp mediatek-configs .config
TARGET_PRODUCT=s9081 MTK_ROOT_CUSTOM=../mediatek/custom make
# sudo mtk-tools/repack-MT65xx.pl -boot zImage boot.img-ramdisk boot.img
MTK-Tools by Bruno MartinsMT65xx repack script (last update: 27-01-2013)

I was really excited today when I saw the Tools r7 and ADT 0.9.8 were available and the latter had this note;
Fixes problems with handling of library project names that contain characters that are incompatible with the Eclipse path variable. Now properly sets up the link between the main project and the library project.
I create the library (foolib - no spaces, no caps, no punctuation). So far so good. I go to the main project, go to preferences --> Android. In the library box I add the new library. It appears. I press Apply. I press OK.
Nothing happens.
I return to the preferences, the library is no longer there JUST LIKE BEFORE.

I looked around for info on this in the group but couldn't find any... so far in my OpenGL programming I've just done everything directly, but I was curious if anyone had written any "wrapper" libraries for it besides min3d. Min3d is great (or is getting there) but it's GPL'd, making it unsuitable for a commercial product (if my understanding of the license is correct).

We have been using gdbserver to debug our JNI code as follows. We have been less than successful -- breakpoints do not always get activated, sometimes we get SIGILL, and we seldom ever get a useful stack when the debugging stops on SIGSEGV, sometimes the program dies with SIGTRAP!!!
We have occasionally been able to have debug sessions with s/n, but since pretty much every SEGV has resulted in either a damaged stack, or at least, gdbserver can not find the stack, it's a pain.
Is there something we are missing? Is there some reason to use the 4.2.1 vs 4.3.1 toolchain? (Why are there two toolchains? I assume because of bugs in each that are fixed in the other... which bugs?)
We guessed that the "dalvik" process that we wanted to debug was app_process --- we found this out by looking at /proc/XXX/cmdline on our running activity.
This is what we do typically do(repo sync directory is in /build/m1 for me)
invoke:/build/m1/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi- gdb
(some of us use -tui, some of us run it under Xemacs, etc.)
We then do:
CODE:..........
We then start our activity, adb shell, discover the PID of the activity, discover the IP of the phone with "netcfg", and:
app_15 1815 49 107468 15744 ffffffff afe0d4a4 S org.credil.thomas_watson.videophoneservice
# gdbserver 0.0.0.0:1234 --attach 1815 Attached; pid = 1815 Listening on port 1234 Remote debugging from host 132.213.238.4
(gdb) target remote 132.213.236.179:1234
This is with a physical device. With an emulator, one has to, of course, run the adb forward stuff. (Too bad that doesn't work with a real device too, as then I would not need to run gdb over the wireless)
Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed. The program no longer exists. (gdb) target remote 132.213.236.179:1234 Remote debugging using 132.213.236.179:1234 Error while mapping shared library sections: /system/bin/linker: No such file or directory. warning: .dynamic section for "/build/m2/out/target/product/generic/ symbols/system/lib/libc.so" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?) ... many more GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers and track explicitly loaded dynamic code. tkill () at bionic/libc/arch-arm/bionic/tkill.S:52

(btw, an annoyance about googlegroups is that it seems that it looks at my SMTP from header, rather than From:... This basically means that I can not post from gmane.org via NNTP, which is a shame. Is there a secret NNTP access on googlegroups.com, I wonder?)

I'm building an app where I want to architect the app layer separately from the service layer (not android services). So I'll create a service interface(the apis) and then create a class(es) that implement that service interface. Inside the android application layer, I want to code to just that service interface. I think this is similar to how the google maps apis works. the api interface and stubs are in the framework, then each device actually provides the implementation. I don't need to go that far, but I am wondering how I package this up. One, where would I put these interfaces, so I can code to them in the app layer (like Activities). Second, how do I tell Android where the implementing classes are? I'm guessing this is somewhere in the manifest? For now I think I would probably just build the service implementation with the application source code, if that's easier. Eventually I'd like to break that out and drop it in as a 3rd-party jar.

With the NDK I can wrap a native library so I can call the methods from Java and package that library into my application.
Say I want to package a custom version of SQLite, is there any way to override the system library for SQLite, so I dont have to reimplement the SQLiteDatabase class?

I'm working on a project with a group that is using Eclipse, but I'm using Netbeans. Up until today this wasn't an issue. When updating from the repo they have added some source code as a library under a directory called /lib-src. When I try to compile the code I get an error that it can't find certain packages... these are the packages under /lib-src.
Using NetBeans I can add the library as a folder so now the references to those packages are happy. However, I'm getting this new error when compiling:
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR:
CODE:.........
I can include the build-impl.xml file if you need it, but I don't think that is main issue.

I am completely new to the NDK.
I have done a couple of the tutorials including the hello from jni one and another one that calculates the sum of two numbers.
They involved using cygwin and the ndk to create the library so file and I have a bit of a grasp on how to insert my own libraries into the libraries layer of Android.
I have now been asked to access the native libraries on Android and see what I can use them for.
My question is can I do this?
The STABLE-APIS.txt document is a bit vague and mentions the following as Stable C++ API's in Android 1.5
cstddef
new
utility
stl_pair.h
Does that mean I can access them?
If so then how do I go about it?

I need to import a couple of jars that where compiled under the full implementation of java. I know that Android doesn't use all the packages that java has to offer. My question is: Is it possible to import them without creating errors? Is there a tool that can convert jars to android jars? if so, can some examples be provided.

My app uses location services, and has the manifest entry:
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
Does anyone know if these libraries are guaranteed to be included on every Android phone? If not, how would I know if they are not there?
