Frozen Bubble NDK build process

videogameboy76 · February 26, 2017, 2:18pm

Hi, I write software for the Frozen Bubble game app, and saw that the APK released by F-Droid supports all processors, as Frozen Bubble requires the NDK to build the module player source.

I would like to know how you are accomplishing this in your make process so I can do the same, as the version on Google play is only for armeabi.

you can view our build metadata at

, but it doesnt show anything strange. Maybe you need to look up what buildjni
actually does on the buildserver.

I would do this where?

I figured it out, stackoverflow to the rescue.

I added APP_ABI := all to jni\Application.mk (previously only had jni\Android.mk) and now it builds for all targets.

Hi,

glad you figured it out, however, we don’t modify anything from
upstream.

I added APP_ABI := all to jni\Application.mk (previously only had jni\Android.mk) and now it builds for all targets.

We just have the Android.mk from upstream, more precisesly
frozenbubbleandroid/jni/Android.mk at master · videogameboy76/frozenbubbleandroid · GitHub.

For building we just run ndk-build, as specified in:

gitlab.com

fdroid/fdroidserver/blob/master/fdroidserver/build.py#L670

    
      
              os.path.join(root_dir, 'build', 'outputs', 'apk', 'release'),
              # gradle plugin < 3.0 and >= 0.11
              os.path.join(root_dir, 'build', 'outputs', 'apk'),
              # really old path
              os.path.join(root_dir, 'build', 'apk'),
              ]
          # If we build with gradle flavours with gradle plugin >= 3.0 the APK will be in
          # a subdirectory corresponding to the flavour command used, but with different
          # capitalization.
          if flavours_cmd:
              apk_dirs.append(os.path.join(root_dir, 'build', 'outputs', 'apk', transform_first_char(flavours_cmd, str.lower), 'release'))
          for apks_dir in apk_dirs:
              for apkglob in ['*-release-unsigned.apk', '*-unsigned.apk', '*.apk']:
                  apks = glob.glob(os.path.join(apks_dir, apkglob))
          
                  if len(apks) > 1:
                      raise BuildException('More than one resulting apks found in %s' % apks_dir,
                                           '\n'.join(apks))
                  if len(apks) == 1:
                      src = apks[0]
                      break

While I have your attention, I removed the advertisement completely some time back, so you no longer have to edit the code to set adsOn to default to false - the variable no longer exists.
