##Psiphon Android Library README
###Overview
Psiphon Library for Android enables you to easily embed Psiphon in your Android app. The Psiphon Library for Android is implemented in Go and follows the standard conventions for using a Go library in an Android app.
###Building with Docker
Note that you may need to use sudo docker
below, depending on your OS.
#####Create the build image:
- Run the command:
docker build --no-cache=true -t psiandroid .
(this may take some time to complete) - Once completed, verify that you see an image named
psiandroid
when running:docker images
#####Run the build:
Ensure that the command below is run from within the AndroidLibrary
directory
cd ../.. && \
docker run \
--rm \
-v $(pwd):/go/src/github.com/Psiphon-Labs/psiphon-tunnel-core \
psiandroid \
/bin/bash -c 'source /tmp/setenv-android.sh && cd /go/src/github.com/Psiphon-Labs/psiphon-tunnel-core/MobileLibrary/Android && ./make.bash' \
; cd -
When that command completes, the compiled .aar
files (suitable for use in an Android Studio project) will be located in the current directory (it will likely be owned by root, so be sure to chown
to an appropriate user).
###Building without Docker (from source)
#####Prerequisites:
- The
build-essential
package (on Debian based systems - or its equivalent for your platform) - Go 1.5 or later
- Full JDK
- Android NDK
- Android SDK
- OpenSSL (tested against the version here)
- Follow its README to prepare the environment before you follow the steps below
#####Steps:
- Follow Go Android documentation (gomobile documentation)
- Run
make.bash
###Using the Library
- Build
ca.psiphon.aar
from via the docker container, from source, or use the binary release - Add
ca.psiphon.aar
to your Android Studio project as described in the gomobile documentation - Example usage in TunneledWebView sample app
#####Limitations
- Only supports one concurrent instance of Psiphon.
