| <ul> |
| <li><a href="#install">Get</a> and install the NDK.</li> |
| <li><a href="#configure">Configure</a> your system and the Eclipse and the Android Development Tool |
| (ADT) for use with it.</li> |
| <li><a href="#verify">Verify</a>, using a simple sample, that everything is working as expected. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>This document assumes that you are already familiar with Java-based Android development. For more |
| information on that topic, see the |
| <a href="{@docRoot}">Android developer site</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="install">Installation</h2> |
| <p>To install and configure the NDK, follow these steps:</p> |
| <ol type="1"> |
| <li>Get and install the <a href="{@docRoot}studio/index.html">Android SDK</a>.</li> |
| <li><a href="{@docRoot}ndk/downloads/index.html">Download</a> the NDK, |
| making sure to download the correct version for your development platform. You may place the |
| unzipped directory anywhere on your local drive.</li> |
| <li>Update your {@code PATH} environment variable with the location of the directory that |
| contains the NDK.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <h2 id="configure">Configuring Eclipse</h2> |
| <p>Eclipse must know where the NDK is in order to use it when building your app. Follow these steps |
| to set the location of the NDK.</p> |
| <ol type="1"> |
| <li>Launch Eclipse, which is installed as part of the Android SDK.</li> |
| <li>Open <b>Window</b> > <b>Preferences</b>.</li> |
| <li>In the pane on the left side of the <i>Preferences</i> window, select <i>Android</i>. |
| The <i>Android</i> section expands, revealing a number of subsections.</li> |
| <li>Select <b>NDK</b>. In the pane on the right side of the <i>Preferences</i> window, browse to |
| the directory that contains the NDK.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>OK</b> to return to the <i>Package Explorer</i> display.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h2 id="verify">Verification</h2> |
| <h3>Eclipse</h3> |
| <p>To confirm that you have installed the NDK, set it up correctly, and properly configured Eclipse, |
| follow these steps:</p> |
| <ol type="1"> |
| <li>Import the hello-jni sample from {@code <ndk>/samples/}, as you would any other Android |
| project.</li> |
| <li>In the <i>Project Explorer</i> pane, right-click the project name (<i>HelloJni</i>). A |
| context menu appears.</li> |
| <li>From the context menu, select <b>Android Tools</b> > <b>Add Native Support</b>. The |
| <i>Add Android Native Support</i> window appears.</li> |
| <li>Accept the default library name (“hello-jni”), and click <b>Finish</b>.</li> |
| <li>Build and execute the application.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <h3>Command line</h3> |
| <p>Follow these steps to build from the command line:</p> |
| <ol type="1"> |
| <li>Change to the root directory of your project.</li> |
| <li>Execute ndk-build to build the native component of your app. do this by |
| typing {@code ndk-build} at the command prompt.</li> |
| <li>Build and install your project as you would a regular Android app written in Java. For more |
| information, see |
| <a href="{@docRoot}tools/building/index.html">Building and Running</a> and |
| <a href="{@docRoot}tools/building/building-cmdline.html">Building and Running |
| from the Command Line</a>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>If you have successfully installed and configured the NDK, the screen on your target device looks |
| as shown in Figure 1.</p> |
