Steam API Android Test App

This is a basic Android application that demonstrates how to integrate the Steamworks SDK to interface with a Steam account for testing purposes.

Prerequisites

1. Android Studio - Install Android Studio with NDK support
2. Android SDK - Make sure you have the Android SDK installed
3. NDK - Install the NDK through Android Studio (SDK Manager)

Setup Instructions

1. Configure the Android SDK Path

Edit local.properties and set the path to your Android SDK:

# Windows example:
sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\YourName\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk

# Mac/Linux example:
sdk.dir=/Users/YourName/Library/Android/sdk

2. Set Your Steam App ID

The app currently uses App ID 480 (Space War - the example game in Steamworks SDK). For your own testing, you can:

• Keep 480 for basic testing (works but limited functionality)
• Change it to your own App ID in:
  • app/src/main/assets/steam_appid.txt
  • app/build.gradle.kts (applicationId)

3. Open in Android Studio

1. Open Android Studio
2. File > Open > Select the androidSteamAPI folder
3. Wait for Gradle to sync
4. Build > Build APK

4. Install and Test

1. Transfer the APK to your Android device
2. Install the APK
3. Important: Steam must be installed on your Android device
4. The app will initialize the Steam API and display:
   • Whether Steam is initialized
   • Whether Steam is running
   • Login status
   • Your Steam username
   • Your Steam ID

Important Notes

1. Steam Required: The Steam client must be installed on the Android device for the API to work
2. App ID: Using App ID 480 will work for basic testing. For full functionality, register your own app on Steam
3. arm64-v8a: The app is currently configured for arm64-v8a devices. You can add more ABIs in app/build.gradle.kts
4. Testing: This app is for testing purposes. For production, you'll need proper Steam partner account access

Troubleshooting

• Steam not initialized: Make sure the Steam app is installed and running on your device
• Build errors: Ensure Android SDK, NDK, and CMake are properly installed via Android Studio
• JNI errors: Verify the native library is properly loaded in SteamAPI.kt

Features

• Steam API initialization
• Get Steam username
• Get Steam ID
• Check login status
• Check persona state (Online, Away, Busy, etc.)
