Hi all,
I'm happy to announce that Crosswalk has now packages for Ubuntu
available and ready to be installed using apt-get. Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy)
and 14.04 (trusty) are supported. The packages also include a new and
simplified Linux-only Android packaging tool for quick and dirty webapp
development [1].
Add the repository and try your webapp on Crosswalk in 4 steps:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tmpsantos/crosswalk
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install crosswalk
$ xwalk path-to-my-webapp/index.html
If you want to create a package of your webapp for Android, you can do
it with the packager tool. First, make sure you have the ADT Bundle for
Linux [2] unzipped somewhere and the ANDROID_HOME environment variable
pointing to the "sdk" directory inside it. Example:
$ export ANDROID_HOME=~/Devel/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140321/sdk
Now just install the packager tool and create your package with a single
command line:
$ sudo apt-get install crosswalk-packager-apk
$ xwalk-packager-apk --x86 --name Test --package com.example.app
path-to-my-webapp
The tool has a few other options, like dumping an ANT buildsystem
template for more advanced customization (change icons, manifest,
theming, etc), can target different Android API versions and can build
packages for other architectures. Run it with --help for the full list.
We have a few other interesting Ubuntu packages that you might want to
have a look, like extensions examples written in C and Python. If you
are curious about what else is available, just hit after adding the repo:
$ apt-cache search crosswalk
Enjoy, write if you have any questions and please report bugs!
[1] This is not the main cross platform packaging tool (make_apk.py)
that you can download from the Crosswalk website. It is a striped
down/simplified version for testing purposes on Linux.
