This project aims to create working library providing playing video files in android via ffmpeg libraries. With some effort and NDK knowledge you can use this ffmpeg libraries build to convert video files. We rather want to use ffmpeg library without modifications to facilitate updating of ffmpeg core.
This project aim to simplify compilation of FFmpeg for android different architectures to one big apk file.
I'm afraid this project is not prepared for android beginners - build it and using it requires some NDK skills.

on mac: you have to install xcode and command tools from xcode preferences you have to install (on mac you can use brew command from homebrew): you have to install:
- autoconf
- libtool
- make
- autoconf-archive
- automake
- pkg-config
- git
on Debian/Ubuntu - you can use apt-get
on Mac - you can use tool brew from homebrew project. You have additionally install xcode.

First: look on past issues on github. Than: try figure out problem with google. If you did not find solution then you can ask on github issue tracker.
downloading source code
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/appunite/AndroidFFmpeg.git AndroidFFmpeg
cd AndroidFFmpeg
git submodule init
git submodule sync #if you are updating source code
git submodule update
cd library-jni
cd jni
download libyuv and configure libs
./fetch.sh
build external libraries Download r8e ndk: https://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r8e-darwin-x86_64.tar.bz2 or ttps://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r8e-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 Now it should also support r10e
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/your/path/to/android-ndk
./build_android.sh
make sure that files library-jni/jni/ffmpeg-build/{armeabi,armeabi-v7a,x86}/libffmpeg.so was created, otherwise you are in truble
build ndk jni library (in library-jni directory)
export PATH="${PATH}:${ANDROID_NDK_HOME}"
ndk-build
make sure that files library-jni/libs/{armeabi,armeabi-v7a,x86}/libffmpeg.so was created, otherwise you are in truble
build your project
./gradlew build
If you need more codecs:
-
edit build_android.sh
-
add more codecs in ffmpeg configuration section
-
remove old ffmpeg-build directory by
rm -r ffmpeg-build -
build ffmpeg end supporting libraries
./build_android.shDuring this process make sure that ffmpeg configuration goes without error.
After build make sure that files FFmpegLibrary/jni/ffmpeg-build/{armeabi,armeabi-v7a,x86}/libffmpeg.so was created, otherwise you are in truble
-
build your ndk library
ndk-build -
refresh your FFmpegLibrary project in eclipse!!!!
-
build your FFmpegExample project
