Install cargo-mobile2
cargo install --git https://github.com/tauri-apps/cargo-mobile2
To update the libray just run:
cargo mobile update
Now in order to build properly you need to have an ANDROID_HOME & NDK_HOME environment variable set. Either do it manually or download Andorid Studio Download via paru:
paru -S android-studio
HINT: This can also be used to simulate an android phone on your device
Now setup Android Studio on default configuration. After click on more Actions
under Projects
. Here select SDK Manager
and afterwards SDK Tools
then install NDK (Side by side)
.
After installation add the ANDROID_HOME and NDK_HOME environment variable to your shell. For fish add:
## Android
set --export ANDROID_HOME $HOME/Android/Sdk
set -gx PATH $ANDROID_HOME/emulator $PATH;
set -gx PATH $ANDROID_HOME/tools $PATH;
set -gx PATH $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin $PATH;
set -gx PATH $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools $PATH;
set --export NDK_HOME $HOME/Android/Sdk/ndk/27.0.12077973
to your config.fish
.
For this project you need a java version between 18-21. Check your java version via:
java --version
if it is not between java 18-21 please install a new/older version. I would recommend openjdk-21. You can download it with:
paru -S openjdk21-src
Then for arch-users you can change it via:
archlinux-java set java-21-openjdk
Now you should be all set
It is possibile to build for different platforms. For linux:
cargo build
For connected android devices: (Install App and Run)
cargo android run
Otherwise you can build the apk file with:
cargo android apk build
This is an example based on agdk-egui example, using egui
, winit
and wgpu
to run egui_demo_app.
To run this on desktop, just do cargo run
like normal! For mobile, use cargo android run
and cargo apple run
respectively (or use cargo android open
and cargo apple open
to open in Android Studio and Xcode respectively).
