'''LAMW''' is a set of ''Lazarus wizards'' you will launch from menus Build and Tools.
+
'''LAMW''': Lazarus Android Module Wizard is a wizard to create JNI Android loadable module (.so) and Android Apk using Lazarus/Free Pascal.
  
−
It helps to set parameters, organize libraries and to run the tools required to make APK files, used to install applications on '''Android'''.
 
  
−
This installation includes several packages containing components useful to develop Android Programs with Lazarus, using JNI.

−
Versions specified here are currently working, although some of them are old and even hidden by their creator/publisher.
+
: Install * [http://sourceforge.net/projects/laz4android/files/?source=navbar Laz4Android 2.0.12]
  
−
But the latest stable versions are not always compatible with the tool (NDK at least).
+
{{Note|Install here: "C:\laz4android2.0.12"  (not "Program Files" !!!)}}
  
−
If a more recent stable version is found working well, please update the Wiki.  
+
: Install * [https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard/archive/master.zip LAMW]
  
−
You may have already the kits installed somewhere else on your computer. It might lead to problems if you try to re-use them. The safer is to make new downloads in c:\lamw. Be aware to use the corresponding versions and do not use shortcuts previously installed with other versions.
+
{{Note|Download LAMW and unzip it in some folder (ex. "C:\laz4android2.0.12\components")}}
  
−
=== Get sources ===
+
:: Packages installations order/sequence:
  
−
You must get LAMW sources using one of the 3 methods listed below. They contain the wizards and the 3 packages.
+
::: tfpandroidbridge_pack.lpk (in "..../android_bridges" folder)
 +
::: lazandroidwizardpack.lpk (in ""..../android_wizard" folder)
 +
::: amw_ide_tools.lpk (in "..../ide_tools" folder)
  
−
==== Checkout with a git client ====
+
; Go to [[#Infrastructure|Infrastructure]].
  
−
We use here Git Gui, but you can use other easier tools like Tortoise GIT.
+
===LAMW Manager (Linux and Windows)===
−
# create a folder C:\lamw\lazandroidmodulewizard
 
−
# click right on this folder
 
−
# click "GIT Gui here"
 
−
# click "Clone existing repository" and enter https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard in the source location.
 
−
# select the folder C:\lamw\lazandroidmodulewizard

−
An alternate method is to download [https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard/archive/master.zip this zip file] in c:\lamw and to extract into the (default) folder C:\lamw\lazandroidmodulewizard
 
  
−
You will have to do this often, because there are often LAMW updates, and you will not have any source manager functionalities to check quickly updates or to be involved into the project.

LAMW

LAMW: Lazarus Android Module Wizard is a wizard to create JNI Android loadable module (.so) and Android Apk using Lazarus/Free Pascal.


Features:

Native Android GUI
AppCompat and Material Design supported!
RAD! Form designer and drag&drop component development model!
More than 140 components!
Github Page: https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard


Get Lazarus for Android

Laz4Android 2.0.12 (Windows)

All cross-android compilers already installed!
arm-android/aarch64-android/i386-android/x86_64-android/jvm-android


How to
Install * Laz4Android 2.0.12
Light bulb  Note: Install here: "C:\laz4android2.0.12" (not "Program Files" !!!)
Install * LAMW
Light bulb  Note: Download LAMW and unzip it in some folder (ex. "C:\laz4android2.0.12\components")
Packages installations order/sequence:
tfpandroidbridge_pack.lpk (in "..../android_bridges" folder)
lazandroidwizardpack.lpk (in ""..../android_wizard" folder)
amw_ide_tools.lpk (in "..../ide_tools" folder)
Go to Infrastructure.

LAMW Manager (Linux and Windows)

Light bulb  Note: All in One! LAMW Manage produces a complete Lazarus for Android environment by automating the step Infrastructure!
Install * LAMW Manager Installer for Linux
Install * LAMW Manager Installer for Windows

Install LAMW using fpcupdeluxe (Linux and Windows)

How to install on Linux (FPCUPdeluxe + LAMW)
How to install on Windows (FPCUPdeluxe + LAMW)

Do It Yourself! (Windows)

Install * Lazarus 2.0.12
Light bulb  Note: Install here: "C:\lazarus2.0.12" (not "Program Files" !!!)
Install * LAMW
Light bulb  Note: Download LAMW and unzip it in some folder (ex. "C:\lazarus2.0.12\components")
Packages installations order/sequence:
tfpandroidbridge_pack.lpk (in "..../android_bridges" folder)
lazandroidwizardpack.lpk (in ""..../android_wizard" folder)
amw_ide_tools.lpk (in "..../ide_tools" folder)
Install * FPC source code (trunk)
Download FPC source code and unzip it in some folder and point up the source path in next step


Go to Lazarus menu "Tools" >> "[LAMW] Android Module Wizard" >> "Build FPC Cross Android"
Light bulb  Note: repeat the "Build and install" process once for each architecture
(x) Armv7a + Soft (android 32 bits << tested!)
Build
Install
(x) Aarch64 (android 64 bits << tested!)
Build
Install
Light bulb  Note: After "build" and "install" the cross-compilers and after to do all Infrastructure go to Using LAMW and try to create your first [New] LAMW project!
If you get an error "Fatal: Cannot find unit system used by fcllaz of package FCL" when trying "Run" >> "Build" your project then go to "fpc.cfg" (ex. "C:\lazarus2.0.12\fpc\3.2.0\bin") and:
change:
#searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-FuC:\lazarus2.0.12\fpc\$FPCVERSION/units/$fpctarget
-FuC:\lazarus2.0.12\fpc\$FPCVERSION/units/$fpctarget/*
-FuC:\lazarus2.0.12\fpc\$FPCVERSION/units/$fpctarget/rtl
to:

-FuC:\lazarus2.0.12\fpc\3.2.0/units/$fpctarget/*
-FuC:\lazarus2.0.12\fpc\3.2.0/units/$fpctarget/rtl


And go to Lazarus IDE menu "Tools" >> "Options" >> "Environment" >> [FPC Source]
change:
$(LazarusDir)fpc\$(FPCVer)\source
to:
$(LazarusDir)fpc\3.2.0\source
