Building

Prerequisites

Android SDK You can skip this if you are using Android Studio.
Android NDK r16b $ANDROID_NDK_HOME environment variable should point at the root directory of your NDK. If the variable is not set, build-syncthing.py will automatically try to download and setup the NDK.
Go 1.9.7 Make sure, Go is installed and available on the PATH environment variable. If Go is not found on the PATH environment variable, build-syncthing.py will automatically try to download and setup GO on the PATH.
Python 2.7 Make sure, Python is installed and available on the PATH environment variable.
Git (for Linux) or Git for Windows Make sure, git (or git.exe) is installed and available on the PATH environment variable. If Git is not found on the PATH environment variable, build-syncthing.py will automatically try to download and setup MinGit 2.19.0-x64 on the PATH.

Build instructions

Make sure you clone the project with git clone https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android.git --recursive. Alternatively, run git submodule init && git submodule update in the project folder.

A Linux VM, for example running Debian, is recommended to build this.

Build Syncthing and the Syncthing-Android wrapper using the following commands:

./gradlew buildNative

./gradlew lint assembleDebug

You can also use Android Studio to build the apk after you manually ran the ./gradlew buildNative command in the repository root.

To clean up all files generated during build, use the following commands:

./gradlew cleanNative

./gradlew clean

gradle.properties

Windows: Edit "%userprofile%.gradle\gradle.properties" to make the build faster.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096M

android.enableSeparateAnnotationProcessing=true

#android.debug.obsoleteApi=true
