Follow just the "Installing the MinGW and Msys" instructions on this page. MinGW provides some essential build tools which are not included in the NDK. On Windows, you will also need to install MinGW in order to build openFrameworks. OF 0.9.0 has been tested with the NDK version r10e, newer versions might work but it's not guaranteed. This is the C/C++ compiler, headers and libraries for Android. In the event that Android Studio does not come with an SDK, you can install it from (under "Get the SDK for an existing IDE"). It should come with (or automatically install) a recent SDK, though you can customize the SDK version later from within Android Studio using Tools ➞ Android ➞ SDK Manager. Installation Install Android Studio and the SDKĭownload and install Android Studio from (you need Android Studio 1.0 or higher). In Android Studio, use File ➞ Import Project and select an openFrameworks example from the examples/android folder.Set the path to the NDK in local.properties ( ndk.dir).Download openFrameworks from the download page or from git.Install the Android NDK (actually tested version is r10e).Install Android Studio and the Android SDK.Setting up openFrameworks with Android Studio is fairly straightforward. See android-eclipse.md in the docs folder or the corresponding guide in the download page. The latest version of android studio still doesn't have full support for c++ development so even if it's deprecated we still recomend to use eclipse and the ADT plugin if you want to have code completeion in c++. The projects are currently using a custom toolchain based on Makefiles to compile and install applications.Īndroid studio support in openFrameworks is still experimental. The Android distribution of openFrameworks is setup to work with either the Eclipse IDE or experimentally Android Studio IDE.
