Hi Jon,
RIM has released a piece of software that allows the recompilation of android
native apps somehow.
Docs? :-)
https://developer.blackberry.com/android/
How's it work? Is it recompilation of source? Or is there a way to modify the
binaries?
By the looks of it, it's a repackager and limited to Gingerbread. Nice
thing with it is that you can repackage from their website so no Eclipse
is needed.
The latest alpha of Xamarin.Android allows for packages to be created in native
code rather
than having to link to the .NET libs which means this software should be
ok for any apps
reated using Xam.Droid
That feature is...broken. Still. (Oops.)
Tsk ;)
It also doesn't "allow packages to be created in native code." It allows
assemblies to be distributed in native libraries. It's basically `mkbundle`ing assemblies
into a shared library instead of an app; otherwise, same basic idea.
Ah, ok. Misunderstood how it operated. Thought it was more like how the
iOS system works
I've downloaded the latest NDK and read the docs, but it looks as if there
isn't a way to install and use the NDK system wide.
Is there a way (on a Mac) to install system wide rather than project by project?
This confuses me. The NDK that Xamarin.Android uses _is_ system wide (for all
Xamarin.Android projects, anyway). You can specify the location in Xamarin Studio
Preferences > Projects / SDK Locations / Android > Android NDK.
Ah. When I clicked that option, I assumed from the error that I would
have to install the NDK from scratch hence the question. Thanks.
Paul
