This is a simple Android project to play with C++ and test Android Studio 1.3 and Gradle 2.5. Moreover, it is part of my tutorials and talk on how to use C++ in Android.

The following branches exist:

• master has all except benchmarking code.

• initial is where you begin. It is an empty app (for Android Studio 1.3 and Gradle 2.5) and some C++ code. The C++ code acts as the "legacy" code for the exercises.

• wrapping implements the wrapper classes and intermediate C++ code so the "legacy" code can be used in an Android app.

• reducing-size adds compiler and linker flags to reduce the sizes of the final .so files.

• exceptions-and-logging is about rethrowing C++ exceptions as Java exceptions. Furthermore, the introduction of logging through the Android logging mechanism is also found here.

• posix-threads shows how to use POSIX threads in Android native code. It requires a larger refactoring in order to get a thread-safe random number generator.

• non-ndk-libraries can be used to get you started using some of the libraries on Android devices but not included in NDK.

• benchmarking adds a bit of benchmarking. It hasn't been merged into master as the runs are too short to give any reliable results.

You are welcome to try out the code and open Github issues.
