Prerequisites:

  • Android NDK
  • Android SDK OR Eclipse ADT Bundle
  • Android AVD target installed

Building project

There are two ways of building Android projects.

  1. Eclipse
  2. Command Line

Import Project in Eclipse

Features:

  1. Complete workflow from Eclipse, including: a. Build C++. b. Clean C++. c. Build and Run whole project. d. Logcat view. e. Debug Java code. f. Javascript editor. g. Project management.
  2. True C++ editing, including: a. Code completion. b. Jump to definition. c. Refactoring tools etc. d. Quick open C++ files.

Setup Eclipse Environment

NOTE: This step needs to be done only once to setup the Eclipse environment for cocos2d-x projects. Skip this section if you've done this before.

  1. Download Eclipse ADT bundle from Google

    OR

    Install Eclipse with Java. Add ADT and CDT plugins.

  2. Set up Variables:

    1. Path Variable COCOS2DX: A. Eclipse->Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked Resources B. Click New button to add a Path Variable COCOS2DX pointing to the root cocos2d-x directory (Directory containing cocos2dx/ external/ tools/ scripting/ etc.).

    2. C/C++ Environment Variable NDK_ROOT: A. Eclipse->Preferences->General->C/C++->Build->Environment. B. Click Add button and add a new variable NDK_ROOT pointing to the root NDK directory.

  3. Import libcocos2dx library project:

    1. File->new->Project..->Android Project From Existing Code.
    2. Click Browse button and open cocos2d-x/cocos2dx/platform/android/java directory.
    3. Click Finish to add project.

Adding and running from Eclipse

  1. File->new->Project..->Android Project From Existing Code
  2. Browse to cocos2d-x/cocos2dx/projects/Name Of Project/proj.android/ directory.
  3. Add the project
  4. Click Run or Debug to compile C++ followed by Java and to run on connected device or emulator.

Running project from Command Line

  1. cd cocos2d-x/projects/Name Of Project/proj.android/
  2. export NDK_ROOT=/path/to/ndk
  3. ./build_native.sh
  4. ant debug install
  5. If step 4 results in sdk.dir missing error then follow step 6-8.
  6. android list target
  7. android update project -p . -t (id from step 6)
  8. android update project -p cocos2d-x/cocos2dx/platform/android/java/ -t (id from step 6)
