We have apkbuilder tool in Android SDK for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Is it possible to develop a similar tool that runs on Android platform?
My friends and I are working on a MiniJava compiler on Android platform, and we hope that the whole process - getting the MiniJava source code, compiling the code into dex file, packaging dex into apk - can run consecutively on Android. Now we're having trouble packaging dex into apk, since the "apkbuilder" file runs some Java commands. Please help me if you have any idea.
p.s. This is my first post, so please tell me if there's something improper.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hi,
I'm currently woring on creating a complete VM and a document with instraction of getting from compile to flahsing from begining.
The complete enviroment will be set and ready with the Stock ROM (currently targeting 4.0.2.A.0.58) and the Android OS.
This will allow users to be able to take this VM and start right a away to change the Stock ROM and integrate changes for that from other modes.
will update this thread when it's done. and links for download (unless someone will be faster the me )
18/12 Update:
Just now finish creating an working and compiling enviroment with 2.3.4_r1 of Android
now working on making it to work with the Sony Ericson source code...

Hi,
I need a little help here... i have followed the steps in Google:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
and also the Journal:
http://journal.tianhao.info/2010/12/compile-android-gingerbread-on-ubuntu-10-10/
i have compiled the code and got it up and running and also in emulator with the command line that was written in the Journal and the Android is working..
now i try to understand the Sony Ericson guide:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
I have downloaded the ARM cross-compiler and installed it, was really bad instructions on how to install it. but just need to run: sh ./the_downloaded.bin
and installed it correctly
after installing the ARM cross-compiler successfully done a make to the kernel but only after fixing the symbolic link that from some reason was attach to 0x86 arch and not arm.
the paths where different since i used the default installer path and match the same version that they used: 2010q1
so first done this for the .config :
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make semc_zeus_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then run the make:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now i got kernel compiled!
the question is:
i know that with the Android compiling i got 3 files in the /source_android/out/target/product/generic:
1. ramdisk.img
2. system.img
3. userdata.img
do i need to use the ramdisk from the Android for the next steps of SE guide ?
1. Getting a RAM disk and extract it
2. Re-package it with all of the kernel of SE that we just compiled
3. Assembling the boot.img using the mkbootimg
moreover, after i assemble the files i want to make a really clean installation and cleaning all the flash and installing all in a vanilla mod.
what should be the next steps ?
Regards,
LaBBa.
I thought that the community here will help in this small matter so we will have more pepole that could join the efforts of making brtter and cooller roms... I guess I was wrong. All I wanted to do is help the dev community and create the full step by step guide to starting developers in the android world....
Sadly I'm forced to end this thread due to lake of knowledge...

im sorry i would help but i dont know much lol srry no one that knew could or would help
hi,
I hope that you are able to get this working.
i will use it when it is finished
Edit: what have you exactly done?
Maybe i can help
all i wanted to do is to download all the source codes and compile it and then creat the same version (for this case the .58) manually and get to the same images that need to be flahed.
i wanted to create from this a complete tut that others that have allot of knowladge in development could start working without the stragling of setting up an eviroment or all the issues about how to get from compiling to acctuall creating an .img to flash it on your device.
just a simple "out of the box" solution so pepole could get and work right a way without wasting time in assembling the source codes and setting then env.
ok, and where are you?
I mean what have you done for now??
please see the second post.. it's all there..
yes you need that ramdisk for the kernel.
but you need to edit the ramdisk to work with the xperia play.
i can do that, can you upload it??
what i'm going to do now is, i'm going to upload all the VM to the web and write the complete tutrial for all the steps i have done so far and then we could continue. thank you for trying to help!
ok,
if you need some help PM me!
Hello,
I'm running a rooted Samsung SGS2 with the default ROM (XWKI4).
I'm writing a shell script to automate some networking tests (coming from a Linux background) and I'm looking for a way to get command line OpenSSL, compiled for the phone.
Currently, I've found a github with sources for OpenSSL for Android phones over here: github.com/fries/android-external-openssl
Could someone please help me and either direct me to a guide for building the code for my specific device or a well-functioning (command line) alternative?
Sorry for posting a question on something I'm sure is covered in a thread somewhere but apparently I'm unable to find it despite looking through quite a few FAQs and searches.
Hello dear readers forum. I have a question that has matured well, very important to me now, and it is compiling and decompiling applications from the operating system Android ICS 4.0.X.
Tried and aapt from the android-sdk and a bunch of files from xda-forum, but when trying to compile the application, climbs a lot of mistakes, I read that you need to remove ODEX from the archive, and then put in place - about
I work in Ubuntu 10.04. I can read, Google has enjoyed, was looking for.
Having tried all the options from the forum and those that could be found.
For the record - I work with the phone THL W1 - which was just installed Android ICS.
Why do it?
I want to add the Russian language and some change.
I hope for a clear and wise response. Believe me, if I had not tried to find anything - I would not write here.
Sorry for my English. I am writing a google translete.
P.S. I love xda forum)))
Where would one begin to create an Android rom? I have looked at a couple of tutorials but they all require me to download some application that is not open source and only has binaries for Windows. Could anybody point me in the right direction?

I saw this but didn't notice that the kitchen itself was Linux-friendly, thanks.
