AndroidStudio project for developing a MEGA app for Android

• Android Studio

• Android SDK Tools

• Android NDK: this is only required if you want to build the native libraries and Java bindings by yourself. Required version of NDK: r14b or newer.

You have two options, using a prebuilt native library or building it by yourself (only for Linux).

• Download and extract the SDK to a folder in your computer:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/meganz/sdk.git

• Download the prebuilt libraries (libmega.so) along with its corresponding Java classes from here. Generated with commit: 73f8a3ed6c7c9f49e3233fc90996735de233092e
• Extract the content into app/src/main, keeping the folder structure.
• Open the project with Android Studio, let it build the project and hit Run

Instead of downloading the prebuilt library, you can build it directly from the sources.

• Ensure that you have installed git, swig, autotools (automake, autoconf) and other common tools (wget, unzip, tar, ...).
• Download and extract the SDK to a folder in your computer:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/meganz/sdk.git

• Configure the variable NDK_ROOT to point to your Android NDK installation path at examples/android/ExampleApp/app/src/main/jni/build.sh. Remember NDK r14b or newer is required.
• Open a terminal in the path examples/android/ExampleApp/app/src/main/jni/ and run ./build.sh all to build the native library.
• Open the project with Android Studio, let it build the project and hit Run

To compile the MEGA SDK (required for this example), the building scripts consider that the Android example is located inside the SDK folder: <sdk>/examples/android/ExampleApp. In case you want to copy the example to a different path of your choice, you need to place a copy of the SDK in the folder <your_path>/ExampleApp/app/src/main/jni/mega (or you can clone the repository, so you can keep the SDK up to date).
