# Building
### Requirements
- sudo apt-get install build-essential
- Android SDK 19+ and the Android Support Repository are required.
- Use `git clone --recursive https://github.com/Nutomic/syncthing-android` to download the source and its submodules.
- Android SDK Platform (for the `compileSdkVersion` specified in [build.gradle](build.gradle))
- Android Support Repository
### Build instructions
Use `gradlew assembleDebug` to compile the APK.
Use `./gradlew assembleDebug` in the project directory to compile the APK.
Note: Gradlew is a gradle wrapper which allows to specify the gradle version. Use `gradle -b gradle/wrapper/build.xml wrapper` to create your own gradlew instance. Then add it to your path using `export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/gradle/wrapper`.
The build process follows three phases:
- It downloads and compiles Golang v1.3 for x86 and ARM cross-compilation: Syncthing-android depends on Syncthing "native" (https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing) and this requires Go v1.3.
- The Syncthing native libraries are compiled for the different architectures using `gradlew buildNative`.
- The final APK is built using the `gradlew assembleDebug` task.
To check for updated gradle dependencies, run `gradle dependencyUpdates`. Additionally, the git modules in `ext/syncthing/src/github.com/syncthing/syncthing` and `libraries/android-support-v4-preferencefragment` may need to be updated.
To check for updated gradle dependencies, run `gradle dependencyUpdates`. Additionally, the git submodule in `ext/syncthing/src/github.com/syncthing/syncthing` may need to be updated.
