| Android Native Development Kit (NDK) |
| |
| |
| Welcome, this NDK is designed to allow Android application developers |
| to include native code in their Android application packages, compiled |
| as JNI shared libraries. |
| |
| See docs/CHANGES.html for a list of changes since the previous release. |
| |
| A high-level overview of the NDK's features and limitations can be found |
| in docs/OVERVIEW.html. Please read this document as it contains crucial |
| information for correct usage. |
| |
| See docs/STABLE-APIS.html for the list of frozen binary APIs exposed by |
| this NDK, as well as the corresponding system image versions that support |
| them. |
| |
| Before using the NDK, you will need to follow the steps described by |
| docs/INSTALL.html which lists the NDK prerequisites and the steps needed |
| to set it up properly on your machine. |
| |
| We recommend developers to make themselves familiar with JNI concepts. Also |
| note that the NDK is *not* a good way to write non-JNI native code for the |
| Android platform. |
| |
| See docs/HOWTO.html for a few useful tips and tricks when using the NDK. |
| |
| See docs/SYSTEM-ISSUES.html for a list of important issues related to |
| the Android system images that all NDK developers should be aware of. |
| |
| Finally, discussions related to the Android NDK happen on the public |
| "android-ndk" forum located at the following address: |
