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"

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 : 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 !
