SDL Android Builder

This is a proof-of-concept wrapper repo that makes building SDL projects for Android with CMake easier.

How To Use:

1. Place the source code for your game inside to-build. This repo contains an optional submodule as an example.
   • Your game source code must also configure SDL at some point. See the optional submodule for an example.
   • Your game should call add_library instead of add_execuable, and the library must be named main, when building for Android.
2. Open the root folder of this repository in Android Studio
3. Build and run!

Getting the full commands that Gradle is running

Gradle hides this information by default. Both steps are required:

1. Add android.native.buildOutput=verbose to gradle.properties
2. Add "-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON" to externalNativeBuild -> cmake -> arguments in app/build.gradle

android {
// ...
	externalNativeBuild {
		cmake {
			arguments "-DANDROID_STL=c++_static", "-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON"
	}
// ...
}
