Working for Android

To build your raylib game for Android you need a set of Android tools. Those tools are basically the Android SDK and Android NDK, including Android Platform Tools and also Java Runtime.

NOTE: For alternative instructions, check Working for Android (on macOS).

Installing Android required tools

1. Java 8 JDK and JRE
2. Android SDK, just required the command line tools

We will use the SDKManager to install all required tools

3. Android NDK

Compiling raylib source code

To compile raylib sources, it's recommended to use Android NDK standalone toolchain.

You can build the toolchain with this command:

python %ANDROID_NDK%\build\tools\make_standalone_toolchain.py --arch arm --api 16 --install-dir=C:\android_toolchain_arm_api16

After that, just navigate from command line to folder raylib/src/ and execute Makefile with:

mingw32-make PLATFORM=PLATFORM_ANDROID

Remember to setup ANDROID_NDK, ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN property properly in the Makefile!

ANDROID_NDK = C:/android-sdk/ndk-bundle
ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN = C:/android_toolchain_arm_api16

NOTE: libraylib.a will be generated in folder `raylib/release/android/armeabi-v7a/.

Compiling a raylib game for Android (using an example project template)

Step 1. To build an APK, navigate to folder raylib/template/simple_game/ and edit Makefile.Android. Replace these settings with yours where apropriate:

ANDROID_HOME = C:/android-sdk
ANDROID_NDK = $(ANDROID_HOME)/ndk-bundle
ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN = C:/android_toolchain_arm_api16
ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS = $(ANDROID_HOME)/build-tools/26.0.3
ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS = $(ANDROID_HOME)/platform-tools
JAVA_HOME = C:/PROGRA~1/Java/jdk1.8.0_152

Then build the apk with:

mingw32-make PLATFORM=PLATFORM_ANDROID

Step 2: To install the APK into connected device (previously intalled drivers and activated USB debug mode on device):

%ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS%\adb install -r simple_game.apk

Step 4: To view log output from device:

%ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS%\adb logcat -c
%ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS%\adb -d  logcat raylib:V *:S

If you have any doubt, just let me know.
