Android tutorial
Windows
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-JPR It will be installed in to C:\Program Files\Java\.
3) Installing SDK ... Go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html DOWNLOAD 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!149 Unzip 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"

8] Deployment ... a) Edit with a text editor D:\Projects\android\androidlcl\android\generate_debug_key.bat Modify the first 6 lines like this : Code: [Select]
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 : Code: [Select]
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 :
Code: [Select]
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 : Code: [Select]
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 !
