Android :: Google Create Instuctions That Windows Users Understand. Googles Instructionsfor - NDK Install

Apr 6, 2010

Below are the only instructions i managed to find from google on how to install the android NDK, it is written as if we all run Linux and presumes we all understand what these obscure tools are. My comments and questions appear in Italics if somone who knows unix and windows would translate for google that would be great!

Android NDK Installation

Introduction:

Please read docs/OVERVIEW.TXT to understand what the Android NDK is and is not. This file gives instructions on how to properly setup your NDK.

I. Requirements:

The Android NDK currently requires a Linux, OS X or Windows host operating system. Windows users will need to install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com) to use it. Note that running the NDK under MSys is not supported.

You will need to have the Android SDK and its dependencies installed. The NDK cannot generate final application packages (.apk files), only the shared library files that can go into them.

IMPORTANT:
The Android NDK can only be used to target system images using the Cupcake (1.5) or later releases of the platform. This is due to subtle toolchain and ABI related changed that make it incompatible with 1.0 and 1.1 system images.

The NDK requires GNU Make 3.81 or later being available on your development system. Earlier versions of GNU Make might work but have not been tested.

You can check this by running 'make -v' from the command-line. The output should look like:

GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
...

On certain systems, GNU Make might be available through a different command like 'gmake' or 'gnumake'. For these systems, replace 'make' by the appropriate command when invoking the NDK build system as described in the documentation.

Great some strange thing called gnu make.. if your not going to tell me what it does maybe you then at least you could give me a URL to it?

The NDK also requires a Nawk or GNU Awk executable being available on your development system. Note that the original 'awk' program doesn't implement the 'match' and 'substr' functions used by the NDK build system.

Ok another tool, with 1 of 2 possible names, but not the third... and again where should i download this?

On Windows, you will need to install a recent release of Cygwin to use the NDK.
See http://www.cygwin.com for instructions.

Woohoo a URL! download took about a day because these install instructions do not specify what parts to download.

II. Preparing your installation prebuilt cross-toolchain binaries:

After installing and unarchiving the NDK, you will need to run the following
command from the root folder:

build/host-setup.sh

hello? windows dont run nothing but .exe .com or .dll, just tell me how you want me to run it..

This will test your setup and make sure the NDK can work properly.

Nothing is said about where any of these things need to be installed to (what directory)

Samsung :: All Epic 4G Users Should Install 4G MapViewer

Sep 5, 2010

This app is just like Google Maps but instead of traffic shows you 4G on a very detailed scale. It's based off reports from other people running the app and helped me find a location 4 blocks away that had reported 4G. I walked over and got 2Mbps down on the SpeedTest.net app. I live in NYC and 4G is not official here yet so this was a great surprise. Look for "4G MapViewer" on the Market and grab it! You might find a location nearby and it will help everyone else!

Android :: Create Call Fails In Windows 7 - Missing JDK

Jun 16, 2010

I'm having a problem getting my android dev environment setup in Windows 7. I follow the instructions here, as well as several environment sublinks. I am using Eclipse with the Android plugin. I have installed the Java JDK several times, in various locations (jdk-6u20-windows-i586.exe) - but I am obviously missing something.

Every time I run "android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd" I get an error:

C:Usersandrew>android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd

WARNING: Java not found in your path.
Checking it it's installed in C:Program FilesJava instead.

ERROR: No suitable Java found. In order to properly use the Android Developer
Tools, you need a suitable version of Java installed on your system. We
recommend that you install the JDK version of JavaSE, available here:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/

You can find the complete Android SDK requirements here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html

This error message is the reason for me installing the JDK several times over. First I tried installing to a location on my e: drive. I then moved it to the default loc (program files (x86)javajdk.6.something. I also tried forcing it to go into the program files path, but it still automatically installs into the (x86) path. I have added the install path to my path environment variable every single time, yet I still continue to get this error. My suspicion is that windows 7 and the android tools are not playing together well in terms of finding the JDK, but who knows, it may be something entirely different. If you have seen this error before.

Android :: Create AVD Size On Windows Command Prompt

Aug 23, 2010

I'm starting with Android development and I have no idea what's wrong on the this command line:
C:Documents and SettingsGabriel.Esquivel.androidavd>android create avd -n Ev
o4G -t 9 -c 8000MB -s 480-800
Valid skins: WVGA854, WQVGA400, HVGA (default), WQVGA432, WVGA800, QVGA
Error: '480-800' is not a valid skin name or size (NNNxMMM)

I am trying to create the following AVDs
http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/common-android-virtual-device-configurations/
But it won't work on from Android SDK Manager. There seems to be bug that throws the following error "SD Card size must be at least 9MB". So I have decided to try from command prompt as I read on other blog that it will allow me to create AVDs without getting SDs less than 9MB errors. It won't take specific dimensions for the skin-s width-height

Android :: SDK Install - For Windows XP

Jun 14, 2010

I have an Evo 4G and I'm eventually trying to root it (the right way). I'm trying to install the SDK (for Windows XP) and I'm having an issue. I installed the Sun Java JRE, HTC Sync and I downloaded the SDK. I re-booted my PC, then enabled USB debugging on my Evo and plugged it in to a high speed USB port and then let Windows find the drivers. Now I did a test to make sure the SDK was installed correctly. I went to "android-sdk/tools", then opened a command prompt and entered "adb devices" to make sure that I can see the device's serial number...but I keep getting this...'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

I keep getting this error message even after I prompt to the tools directory. I tried re-installing drivers, I tried deleting and re-installing all software and nothing seems to do the trick. I still keep getting "...is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

Android :: Install Windows Mobile Phones

Dec 3, 2009

Install Android on your HTC Windows Mobile phones - Kongtechnology.com. Google, the land of milk and honey, have smashed open the smartphone market when they released their Android platform for free to developers and in one fell swoop, gave a huge stride forward for smartphones everywhere. Traditionally, the smartphone market relied on specific operating systems such as Nokia�s Symbian, Palm�s PalmOS and Apple with their iPhone OS. Each company fights to keep their software on their own phones and the result is that a person is locked into using only phones from a particular company if they are familiar with the software. As they say, you can�t have your pie and eat it.

Android : How To Install USB Driver For Nexus One On Windows 7?

Nov 4, 2010

I have implemented a simple Android application that I now would like to test on a real device. I have a Nexus One. In the Android Eclipse plugin, I have downloaded and installed the USB driver (revision 3) package. But when I connect my Nexus One to my PC (running Windows 7) using the USB cable, a message box pops up and shows that "No driver found" for "Nexus One". I have activated USB Debugging on my device. And when I run adb devices on my PC, it just prints List of devices attached and no devices are listed. And if I use Device Manages in Windows, and tries to update the driver for "Nexus One", I can not select a driver in the "driver directory" of Android SDK. How can I install a driver for Nexus One on Windows 7 so I can use it for USB debugging my Android applications on a real device?

Android :: Google - Active Install %? Bug In Install

Sep 1, 2010

Yes we have threads about this already but we still have not gotten an answer AND I think it's about time somebody at least explain what does this number actually MEAN. I'm getting frustrated with the lack of transparency on this.

My apps used to be around 56% active installs

VERY soon after I updated the apps to allow install to SDCARD (preferExternal), then the active install count started dropping like a rock. Now it's around 39% today for my main app.

My opinion is there is a bug in the SDCARD install feature somewhere that is not counting those installs. We know there already is a bug with home screen icons if you install to sdcard you will get a blank icon until the Home app restarts.

Samsung Behold 2 :: Cannot Install Phone Drivers On Windows 7 64 Bit

Aug 18, 2010

I have had this phone since April and it has been pretty disappointing overall with the whole not upgrading to Android 2.1 and such, but that's not the issue right now. I bought a new laptop about 2 weeks ago and I want to use my phone with my laptop. I download the drivers for the phone and they could not install and everytime I connect the phone to the computer it says the device is not recognized. The phone now can't connect and I can't see the files that are on the phone. I want to be able to put music and videos on my phone and I can't now. It works perfectly fine one my desktop which is an XP, but I wont be able to use the desktop because I will be leaving for college soon.
