Several docker based builders are available on GitHub https://github.com/icn-team/android-build
- A generic Android SDK/NDK build environment https://github.com/icn-team/android-build/packages/39336 (re-built once every 6 months)
- A container with native dependencies built in, such as OpenSSL, libevent, asio (built once every 6 months).
- A container with native hicn code distribution built in (packet forwarder, interface manager, transport libraries).
The front-end is available in https://github.com/icn-team/android-sdk and built using GitHub actions once a day. Software is distributed under GitHub releases as apks: https://github.com/icn-team/android-sdk/releases
The following guide is tested on Ubuntu and macOS
$ git clone https://github.com/icn-team/android-sdk.git
$ cd android-sdk
$ export ANDROID_ARCH="arm64"
$ make all
$ export ANDROID_ARCH="x86"
$ make all
# The hICN Distillery software will be installed in android-sdk/usr_aarch64 and android-sdk/usr_i686
make android_hicnforwarder
# Optionally, uninstall previous version (to avoid signature mismatch issues)
adb uninstall com.cisco.hicn.forwarder
adb install -r ./HicnForwarderAndroid/app/build/outputs/apk/release/HicnForwarderAndroid.apk
make android_hicntools
adb install -r ./app/build/outputs/apk/release/hICN_Tools.apk
make android_viper
adb install -r build_aarch64/viper/hicn-viper-arm64_v8a/build/outputs/apk/hicn-viper-arm64_v8a-release-signed.apk
