| How to install and run an android emulator. |
| |
| mkdir android # or any other place you prefer |
| cd android |
| |
| # download java JDK |
| # http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html |
| # download android SDK |
| # http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html |
| # download android NDK |
| # http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html |
| |
| # versions I used: |
| # jdk-7u4-linux-i586.tar.gz |
| # android-ndk-r8-linux-x86.tar.bz2 |
| # android-sdk_r18-linux.tgz |
| |
| # install jdk |
| tar xzf jdk-7u4-linux-i586.tar.gz |
| |
| # install sdk |
| tar xzf android-sdk_r18-linux.tgz |
| |
| # install ndk |
| tar xjf android-ndk-r8-linux-x86.tar.bz2 |
| |
| |
| # setup PATH to use the installed software: |
| export SDKROOT=$HOME/android/android-sdk-linux |
| export PATH=$PATH:$SDKROOT/tools:$SDKROOT/platform-tools |
| export NDKROOT=$HOME/android/android-ndk-r8 |
| |
| # install android platforms you want by starting: |
| android |
| # (from $SDKROOT/tools) |
| |
| # select the platforms you need |
| # I selected and installed: |
| # Android 4.0.3 (API 15) |
| # Upgraded then to the newer version available: |
| # Android sdk 20 |
| # Android platform tools 12 |
| |
| # then define a virtual device: |
| Tools -> Manage AVDs... |
| # I define an AVD Name with 64 Mb SD Card, (4.0.3, api 15) |
| # rest is default |
| |
| |
| # compile and make install Valgrind, following README.android |
| |
| |
| # Start your android emulator (it takes some time). |
| # You can use adb shell to get a shell on the device |
| # and see it is working. Note that I usually get |
| # one or two time out from adb shell before it works |
| adb shell |
| |
| # Once the emulator is ready, push your Valgrind to the emulator: |
| adb push Inst / |
| |
| |
| # IMPORTANT: when running Valgrind, you may need give it the flag |
| # |
| # --kernel-variant=android-emulator-no-hw-tls |
| # |
| # since otherwise it may crash at startup. |
| # See README.android for details. |
| |
| |
| # if you need to debug: |
| # You have on the android side a gdbserver |
| # on the device side: |
| gdbserver :1234 your_exe |
| |
| # on the host side: |
| adb forward tcp:1234 tcp:1234 |
| $HOME/android/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gdb your_exe |
| target remote :1234 |
