GST Player Android port

Prerequisites

  1. Install Android SDK from https://developer.android.com/sdk/ & set sdk.dir in local.properties to the installation path
  2. Install Android NDK from https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html & set ndk.dir in local.properties to the installation path
  3. If you have a different special directory for pkg-config or other tools (e.g. on OSX when using Homebrew), then also set this path using the ndk.extraPath variable in local.properties
  4. Download the GStreamer android ports http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/android/ and set gstreamer.$ABI.dir properties in local.properties:

Sample local.properties:

sdk.dir=/path/to/android-sdk/
ndk.dir=/path/to/android-ndk/
ndk.extraPath=/usr/local/bin
gstreamer.arm.dir=/path/to/gstreamer-1.0-android-arm-release-1.4.5/
gstreamer.armv7.dir=/path/to/gstreamer-1.0-android-armv7-release-1.4.5/
gstreamer.x86.dir=/path/to/gstreamer-1.0-android-x86-release-1.4.5/

Compiling the sample

Use

./gradlew installDebug

to compile and install a debug version onto all connected devices.

Please note this component is using the new Android build system based on Gradle. More information about this is available on http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system.

Android Studio

Android Studio builds will work out of the box. Simply open build.gradle in this folder to import the project.

Manual NDK build

It is still possible to build just the NDK portion. This will speed up the process a bit as you don't need to start gradle first and compile the complete App. First, make sure to set NDK_PROJECT_PATH to this projects main source path. Additionally the SDK & NDK tools are available in $PATH.

export NDK_PROJECT_PATH=$PWD/app/src/main

Second, set the following environment variables to the GStreamer installation folders:

export GSTREAMER_ROOT_ARM=/path/to/gstreamer-1.0-android-arm-release-1.4.5/
export GSTREAMER_ROOT_ARMV7=/path/to/tmp/gstreamer-1.0-android-armv7-release-1.4.5/
export GSTREAMER_ROOT_X86=/path/to/gstreamer-1.0-android-x86-release-1.4.5/

If you don't want to build all architectures, please modify the file app/src/main/jni/Application.mk

Finally, within the app/src/main/ directory, invoke:

ndk-build
