Primarily for NDK based C/C++ applications,\nit also incorporates customisable deployment, resource management, and integrated Java source compilation.\n\n### Getting Started\n\n##### Prerequisites:\n\n- **Android SDK** (http://developer.android.com/sdk/)\n  * Please avoid installing to a path which contains spaces.\n\n- **Android NDK** (https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/)\n  * Please avoid installing to a path which contains spaces.\n  * Compatibility tested with NDK r9d, r10, r10b, r10c and r10d.\n\n- **Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.7 or 1.8**\n  * If using JDK 1.7, please ensure you are using a revision of at least 67.\n  * If using JDK 1.8, please ensure you are using a revision of at least 21.\n  * Early revisions of JDK 1.7 tend to cause devices to hang when debugging.\n\n##### Installation:\n\n1. Create several new environment variables to reference installations of the SDK, NDK, and JDK.\n\n   * Open your computer's 'Control Panel'.\n     * If viewing items by category, follow 'System and Security' -\u003e 'System'.\n     * If viewing items by icon, just click 'System'.\n   * Click 'Advanced System Settings' (left panel). This should open a 'System Properties'.\n   * Select the 'Advanced' tab, and click 'Environment Variables'.\n   * Add the following new user or system variables:\n     * name: `ANDROID_SDK`, value: `\u003cpath_to_sdk_root\u003e`\n     * name: `ANDROID_NDK`, value: `\u003cpath_to_ndk_root\u003e`\n     * name: `JAVA_HOME`, value: `\u003cpath_to_java_jdk_root\u003e`\n\n2. Close all instances of Visual Studio and any Command Prompt windows.\n\n3. Bootstrap for one (or more) instances of Visual Studio using the `bootstrap_vs*.cmd` scripts in Android++'s root.\n   * Scripts are separated by version to allow for improved customisation/testing.\n   * More advanced scripts can be found in the `./bootstrap/` directory. These allow more fine grain control.\n   * Installation of Visual Studio extensions in is a little unpredictable, be sure to uninstall any existing registered extensions before upgrading. Look in `./bootstrap/` for these scripts.\n   * Improved automation of the upgrade process will follow in later releases.\n\n4. Build a sample. See below.\n\n##### Building and running 'hello-gdbserver' sample:\n\n1. Find bundled projects located under `msbuild/samples` from the root of your Android++ installation.\n\n2. Build the `hello-gdbserver` project. This is a tiny application to force a segmentation fault.\n\n3. Ensure 'hello-gdbserver' is set as the launch project. This is indicated by the project name being represented in bold.\n   * If it's not bold, right-click the project in the 'Solution Explorer' pane and select 'Set as StartUp Project'.\n\n4. Run the project. Press F5 or select 'Debug -\u003e Start Debugging'.\n\n5. A 'Configuring Android++' dialog should appear. Installation and connection status can be monitored here.\n   * A 'Waiting for Debugger' prompt should also appear on the device. When this disappears, JDB has successfully connected.\n   * As the ADB protocol is slow, installation times can be lengthy for large APKs - and vary with target device.\n   * If you experience any errors, please first consult `./docs/troubleshooting.txt`.\n\n6. Wait for connection to be finalised. On device you should see a large button labelled 'Induce Crash'. Press it.\n\n7. Visual Studio should alert you that a 'Segmentation Fault' has occurred. Click 'Break' to see its location in native code.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["C# #"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwebbju%2Fandroid-plus-plus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fwebbju%2Fandroid-plus-plus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwebbju%2Fandroid-plus-plus/lists"}
