Re: [Jsource] Building J for Android
I used only ant to build apk, never tried android studio, eclipse or other gui tool. I had no problem in using ant last time I tired, I'll check again.

Re: [Jsource] Building J for Android
I tried the jandroid process. It initially failed with tools/ant/build.xml not found. This seems to be expected: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42912824/the-ant-folder-is-suddenly-missing-from-android-sdk-did-google-remove-it Android team has decided to remove all old and obsolete scripts from SDK in march release of 25.3.0 SDK Tools Changes: Obsolete/deprecated tools have been removed: android ddms (instead see Using DDMS) draw9patch (instead see Draw 9-patch) hierarchyviewer (instead see Profile Your Layout with Hierarchy Viewer) traceview (instead see Profiling with Traceview and dmtracedump) ant scripts Project and activity template I tried he work-around (install tools/ant/build.xml from an older tools release), which failed: ant release && ./deploy.sh Buildfile: /home/me/Downloads/Android/jandroid-master/build.xml [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource anttasks.properties.

Poking on the web, it looks as if ant is not well supported any more and folks are migrating to gradle (or Android Studio). Does this look like the best approach?

Re: [Jsource] Building J for Android
It looks like the only place libjpcre.so is used is in jd. But, jd looks like it won't run on the 32 bit default Android distribution. So, for now, I'll ignore pcre and move on to creating an apk. Does anyone have any suggestions for creating a J Android apk from the binaries created by ndk-build? It looks like the choices are to use Android Studio, using gradlew or using ant with some sort of build.xml. Unless there is a build.xml hiding somewhere, all of these look like they would require reverse-engineering the current distribution J Android APK.
