Build

Clone this repo and cd into it

$ git clone git@github.com:TeskaLabs/CatVision-Android.git
$ cd CatVision-Android

Clone submodules

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Now you can proceed with the following steps:

  1. Build the VNC server library
  2. Download SeaCat Client dependency
  3. Build the cvio module's JNI
  4. Build the AAR

Build the VNC server library

You need Android NDK toolset to build the binaries for Android devices. They need to be available in your $PATH or $ANDROID_NDK.

For example on Mac OSX, if you had installed Android NDK using the Android SDK manager before:

$ export ANDROID_NDK="${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle"

Then build the VNC server

$ cd external
$ ./build.sh

Download SeaCat Client dependency

The CatVision.io module depends on SeaCat Client. SeaCat takes care for identifying your device and making it able to connect securely.

$ cp SeaCatClient_Android_v1611-rc-1-release.aar ./seacat 

Build the cvio module's JNI

CatVision java class uses JNI interface to call the VNC server's functions.

$BASEDIR is the path to the cloned repository.

$ cd $BASEDIR/cvio/src/main/jni
$ ./build.sh

Build the project

Use Android Studio: Build->Clean Project, Build->Make Project

The CatVision AAR is now in $BASEDIR/cvio/build/outputs/aar

TODO: build from command line

Sign CatVision.IO AAR

$ apksigner sign --ks truststore.ks --out catvision-io-sdk-android-v1801.aar --min-sdk-version 14 catvision-io-sdk-android-v1801-release-aligned.aar
