## 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS build instructions
|
||||
While these instructions are for Ubuntu 16.04, the same steps have also been confirmed to work on 14.04 (which is the Travis CI environment), 17.10 and 18.04.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
* JDK 1.8
|
||||
* Android SDK
|
||||
* Android NDK
|
||||
* Buildozer
|
||||
* Node.js
|
||||
* npm
|
||||
|
||||
#### Apt Packages
|
||||
Based on the quickstart instructions at http://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install build-essential ccache git libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libpangox-1.0-0:i386 libpangoxft-1.0-0:i386 libidn11:i386 python2.7 python2.7-dev openjdk-8-jdk unzip zlib1g-dev zlib1g:i386 m4 libc6-dev-i386
|
||||
```
|
||||
Alternatively, the JDK available from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html can be installed instead of the `openjdk-8-jdk` package.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install Cython
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo pip install --upgrade cython==0.25.2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install buildozer
|
||||
A forked version of `buildozer` needs to be installed in order to copy the React Native UI source files into the corresponding directories.
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/akinwale/buildozer.git
|
||||
cd buildozer
|
||||
sudo python2.7 setup.py install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Create buildozer.spec
|
||||
Assuming `lbry-android` as the current working folder:
|
||||
* Copy `buildozer.spec.sample` to `buildozer.spec` in the `lbry-android` folder. Running `buildozer init` instead will create a new `buildozer.spec` file.
|
||||
* Update `buildozer.spec` settings to match your environment. The basic recommended settings are outlined below.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|:------------------- |:-----------------------------|
|
||||
| title | application title |
|
||||
| package.name | package name (eg. browser) |
|
||||
| package.domain | package domain (eg. io.lbry) |
|
||||
| source.dir | the location of the application main.py |
|
||||
| version | application version |
|
||||
| requirements | the Python module requirements for building the application |
|
||||
| services | list of Android background services and their corresponding Python entry points |
|
||||
| android.permissions | Android manifest permissions required by the application. This should be set to `INTERNET` at the very least to enable internet connectivity |
|
||||
| android.api | Android API version (Should be at least 23 for Gradle build support) |
|
||||
| android.sdk | Android SDK version (Should be at least 23 for Gradle build support) |
|
||||
| android.ndk | Android NDK version (13b has been tested to result in a successful build) |
|
||||
| android.ndk_path | Android NDK path. buildozer will automatically download this if not set |
|
||||
| android.sdk_path | Android SDK path. buildozer will automatically download this if not set |
|
||||
| p4a.source_dir | Path to the python-for-android repository folder. Currently set to the included `p4a` folder |
|
||||
| p4a.local_recipes | Path to a folder containing python_for_android recipes to be used in the build. The included `recipes` folder includes recipes for a successful build |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Build and deploy the APK
|
||||
Run `npm i` in the `lbry-android/app` folder to install the necessary modules required by the React Native user interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Run `./build.sh` in `lbry-android` to build the APK. The output can be found in the `bin` subdirectory.
|
||||
|
||||
To build and deploy, you can run `./deploy.sh`. This requires a connected device or running Android emulator.

# LBRY Android
|
||||
[](https://travis-ci.org/lbryio/lbry-android)
|
||||
## 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS build instructions
|
||||
The LBRY Android app running the Python lbrynet-daemon as a background service and a UI layer built with React Native. The APK is built using buildozer and the Gradle build tool.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Prerequisites
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
The minimum supported Android version is 5.0 Lollipop. There are currently 2 options for obtaining the APK. The latest APK release can be downloaded from http://build.lbry.io/android/latest.apk. You will need to enable installation from third-party sources on your device in order to install from this source. The other option is to install from the Google Play Store.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
* JDK 1.8
|
||||
* Android SDK
|
||||
* Android NDK
|
||||
* Buildozer
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
The app can be launched by opening **LBRY Browser** from the device's app drawer or a shortcut on the homescreen if that was created upon install.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Apt Packages
|
||||
Based on the quickstart instructions at http://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install build-essential ccache git libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libpangox-1.0-0:i386 libpangoxft-1.0-0:i386 libidn11:i386 python2.7 python2.7-dev openjdk-8-jdk unzip zlib1g-dev zlib1g:i386
|
||||
```
|
||||
Alternatively, the JDK available from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html can be installed instead of the `openjdk-8-jdk` package.
|
||||
## Running from Source
|
||||
The app can be built from source using `buildozer`. The first thing you will need to do after cloning the repository is create a `buildozer.spec` file. You can base your spec on the provided sample file `buildozer.spec.sample`. Please read [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) for detailed build instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Additional package for building libgmp**
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get install m4
|
||||
```
