I have made a quick tutorial on how to create android apps with Lazarus.
In this tutorial i am using JDK 1.6u45 + SDK 22.2.1 + ndk-r9 + Laz4Android1.1-41139-FPC2.7.1
1)Create on C:\ a folder called "Android"
2)Install JDK 1.6u45 (i have installed jdk-6u45-windows-x64.exe)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jdk-6u45-oth-JPRIt will be installed in to C:\Program Files\Java\.
3) Installing SDK ...
Go to
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.htmlDOWNLOAD FOR OTHER PLATFORMS > SDK Tools Only
installer_r22.2.1-windows.exe (Recommended)
Install sdk (installer_r22.2.1-windows) into C:\Android\android-sdk
Copy at "C:\Android\android-sdk\tools" the file "apkbuilder.bat" (can be found here
https://github.com/ACSOP/android_sdk/raw/master/apkbuilder/etc/apkbuilder.bat )
Now update the SDK [WIN START > SDK Manager ]
add android 4.0 (API 14)
add android 2.2 (API 8]
Install packages.
4) Installing NDK ...
http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html Download only the file android-ndk-r9-windows-x86.zip
Unzip android-ndk-r9-windows-x86.zip into C:\Android\android-ndk-r9
5) Installing Laz4Android1.1-41139-FPC2.7.1.7z ...
Download it from
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=89ae6b50650182c6&id=89AE6B50650182C6!149Unzip Laz4Android1.1-41139-FPC2.7.1.7z into C:\Android\laz4android
Copy
C:\Android\android-ndk-r9\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.6\prebuilt\windows\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-*.exe
to
C:\Android\laz4android\fpc\2.7.1\bin\i386-win32\*
Edit the file C:\Android\laz4android\build.bat like this :
SET FPC_BIN_PATH=C:\Android\laz4android
Run build.bat (doubleclick) -> It will compile & bulid lazarus.
6) Rebuilding Laz4Android IDE ...
Run C:\Android\laz4android\lazarus.exe
Select "Start IDE"
select "Package" "Install/Uninstall Packages"
select customdrawn 0.0 > install selection and hit save and rebuild IDE , continue
7) Compiling the demo "androidlcl"
Copy C:\Android\laz4android\examples\androidlcl at D:\Projects\android\androidlcl
Run "C:\Android\laz4android\lazarus.exe"
File > open "D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\androidlcltest.lpr"
Project > project options
Compiler options > select "Release TAndroid"
Paths >
Libraries -Ll :
C:\Android\android-ndk-r9\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib;C:\Android\android-ndk-r9\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.6\prebuilt\windows\lib\gcc\arm-linux-androideabi\4.6
Target file name :
android\libs\armeabi\liblclapp.so
Code generation
Target OS -T android
Target CPU -P arm
Target processor default
Linking :
Enable strip symbols (-Xs)
Other : -dANDROID -Xd -CpARMV6 -FLlibdl.so
Ide macro values :
macro name : LCLWidgetType
macro value : customdrawn
Now
Run > Compile this will generate this library :
D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\libs\armeabi\liblclapp.so [5.073 kb]
8] Deployment ...
a) Edit with a text editor
D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\generate_debug_key.bat
Modify the first 6 lines like this :
REM Adjust these paths to yours
SET PATH=C:\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\17.0.0;C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\;C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin
SET APP_NAME=lcltest
SET ANDROID_HOME=C:\Android\android-sdk
SET APK_SDK_PLATFORM=C:\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-8
SET APK_PROJECT_PATH=D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android
Run "generate_debug_key.bat"
Use as password : "senhas"
This will produce the file :
D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\bin\LCLDebugKey.keystore
b) Edit with a text editor
D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\build_debug_apk.bat
Modify the first 6 lines like this :
REM Adjust these paths to yours
SET PATH=C:\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\17.0.0;C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\;C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin
SET APP_NAME=lcltest
SET ANDROID_HOME=C:\Android\android-sdk
SET APK_SDK_PLATFORM=C:\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-8
SET APK_PROJECT_PATH=D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android
run "build_debug_apk.bat" answer at the questions and give the password "senhas" when asked
This will generate
D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\bin\lcltest.apk [1.549 kb]
c) Create an Android Virtual Device
START > AVD Manager
New > AVD name > give a name
Device 5.1 WVGA
Target Android 4 API 14
Hit OK
Once created select the virtual device and hit "start" > "Launch" wait a couple of minutes.
d) Edit with a text editor
D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\adb_install.bat
Modify like this :
REM Adjust these paths to yours
SET PATH=C:\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\17.0.0;C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\;C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin
adb uninstall com.pascal.lcltest
adb install bin\lcltest.apk
pause
Run "adb_install.bat" . This will install the "LCL Test" into your Virtual device
e) Debugging
Edit with a text editor the file
D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\adb_install.bat
like this :
REM Adjust these paths to yours
SET PATH=C:\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\17.0.0;C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\;C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin
adb logcat > std.txt
pause
By running this you will get a debug file here :
D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\std.txt
Enjoy !
