# Vcpkg and Android
|
|
|
|
**The latest version of this documentation is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/tree/master/docs/users/android.md).**
|
|
|
|
*Android is not tested as part of vcpkg repository's CI process, so regressions can occur as part of library updates. PRs improving support are welcome!*
|
|
|
|
## Android build requirements
|
|
|
|
1. Download the [android ndk](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/)
|
|
|
|
2. Set environment variable `ANDROID_NDK_HOME` to your android ndk installation.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
````bash
|
|
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/home/your-account/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Or:
|
|
````bash
|
|
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/home/your-account/Android/android-ndk-r21b
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
3. Install [vcpkg](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg)
|
|
|
|
4. Set environment variable `VCPKG_ROOT` to your vcpkg installation.
|
|
````bash
|
|
export VCPKG_ROOT=/path/to/vcpkg
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
## vcpkg triplets and their corresponding android ABI
|
|
|
|
There are four different Android ABI, each of which maps to
|
|
a vcpkg triplet. The following table outlines the mapping from vcpkg architectures to android architectures
|
|
|
|
|VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET | ANDROID_ABI |
|
|
|---------------------------|----------------------|
|
|
|arm64-android | arm64-v8a |
|
|
|arm-android | armeabi-v7a |
|
|
|x64-android | x86_64 |
|
|
|x86-android | x86 |
|
|
|
|
## Install libraries for Android using vcpkg
|
|
|
|
Example for jsoncpp:
|
|
|
|
````bash
|
|
cd $VCPKG_ROOT
|
|
|
|
# specify the triplet like this
|
|
./vcpkg install jsoncpp --triplet arm-android
|
|
# or like this
|
|
./vcpkg install jsoncpp:arm64-android
|
|
./vcpkg install jsoncpp:x86-android
|
|
./vcpkg install jsoncpp:x64-android
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
### Using Vulkan SDK
|
|
|
|
Vcpkg has a [`vulkan` package](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/vulkan/portfile.cmake) which allows you to `find_package(Vulkan)`. To use it you have to provide `VULKAN_SDK` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export VULKAN_SDK=/usr/local
|
|
./vcpkg install vulkan
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NDK already contains [Vulkan](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/graphics/getting-started) headers and `libvulkan.so` binaries for each of its architecture.
|
|
To expose them to VcPkg, you can consider `export VULKAN_SDK=...` for each installation.
|
|
But by placing `set(ENV{VULKAN_SDK} ...)` in the triplet files, you can skip the tedious work.
|
|
|
|
If you are using NDK 21.3.6528147 or earlier version, it will be like the following.
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
# In android triplets... (e.g. arm64-android.cmake)
|
|
set(VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Android)
|
|
# ...
|
|
# If your API level is 30, libvulkan.so is at $ENV{ANDROID_NDK_HOME}/platforms/android-30/arch-arm64/usr/lib
|
|
set(ENV{VULKAN_SDK} $ENV{ANDROID_NDK_HOME}/sysroot/usr)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notice that **the location of the sysroot has changed since NDK 22**. (see https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1407)
|
|
If you prefer using [the latest version](https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/install-ndk#default-ndk-per-agp), check the [BuildSystemMaintainers.md of the NDK document](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/BuildSystemMaintainers.md#sysroot) and then put appropriate path for your system.
|
|
|
|
For example, Mac OS users will use the path like this.
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
# In android triplets... (e.g. arm64-android.cmake)
|
|
set(VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Android)
|
|
# ...
|
|
# If your API level is 30, libvulkan.so is at $ENV{ANDROID_NDK_HOME}/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/sysroot/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-android/30
|
|
set(ENV{VULKAN_SDK} $ENV{ANDROID_NDK_HOME}/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/sysroot/usr)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By doing this for all android triplets, you can install `vulkan` and the packages that require it. (e.g. `vulkan-hpp`)
|
|
|
|

|
|
<summary markdown="span">`vcpkg install vulkan-hpp:arm64-android`</summary>

|

## Consume libraries using vpckg, cmake and the android toolchain
|
|
|
|
1. Combine vcpkg and Android toolchains
|
|
|
|
vcpkg and android both provide dedicated toolchains:
|
|
````bash
|
|
vcpkg_toolchain_file=$VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
|
|
android_toolchain_file=$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
When using vcpkg, the vcpkg toolchain shall be specified first.
|
|
|
|
However, vcpkg provides a way to preload and additional toolchain, with the VCPKG_CHAINLOAD_TOOLCHAIN_FILE option.
|
|
|
|
````bash
|
|
cmake \
|
|
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$vcpkg_toolchain_file \
|
|
-DVCPKG_CHAINLOAD_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$android_toolchain_file \
|
|
...
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
2. Specify the android abi and vcpkg triplet
|
|
|
|
When compiling for android, you need to select a matching "android abi" / "vcpkg triplet" pair.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
````bash
|
|
android_abi=armeabi-v7a
|
|
vcpkg_target_triplet=arm-android
|
|
|
|
cmake
|
|
...
|
|
-DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=$vcpkg_target_triplet \
|
|
-DANDROID_ABI=$android_abi
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
### Test on an example
|
|
|
|
The folder [docs/examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake) provides a working example, with an android library that consumes the jsoncpp library:
|
|
|
|
*Details*
|
|
|
|
* The [CMakeLists](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake/CMakeLists.txt) simply uses `find_package` and `target_link_library`
|
|
|
|
* The [compile.sh](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake/compile.sh) script enables you to select any matching pair of "android abi" / "vcpkg triplet" and to test the compilation
|
|
|
|
* The dummy [my_lib.cpp](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake/my_lib.cpp) file uses the jsoncpp library
|
|
|
|
*Note*: this example only compiles an Android library, as the compilation of a full fledged Android App is beyond the scope of this document.
|
|
|
|
### Test on an example, using [vcpkg_android.cmake](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake_script/cmake/vcpkg_android.cmake)
|
|
|
|
The folder [docs/examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake_script](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake_script) provides the same example, and uses a cmake script in order to simplify the usage.
|
|
|
|
*Details*
|
|
|
|
* The main [CMakeLists](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake_script/CMakeLists.txt) loads [vcpkg_android.cmake](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake_script/cmake/vcpkg_android.cmake) if the flag `VCPKG_TARGET_ANDROID` is set:
|
|
````cmake
|
|
if (VCPKG_TARGET_ANDROID)
|
|
include("cmake/vcpkg_android.cmake")
|
|
endif()
|
|
````
|
|
*Important: place these lines before calling project() !*
|
|
|
|
* The [compile.sh](../examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake_script/compile.sh) script shows that it is then possible to compile for android using a simple cmake invocation, for example:
|
|
````bash
|
|
cmake .. -DVCPKG_TARGET_ANDROID=ON -DANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
