Building

We recommend opening the project in Android Studio 3.1.2 along with Java 7 already installed for perfect support of libraries developed for Android 2.1 Eclair and above.

To provide support for non-native codecs (Theora, VP8, Opus), FFmpeg v. 2.2.4 is used.

To compile them you need:

• GNU/Linux distro or WSL2
  Yeah, it is still possible to build libraries on Linux/WSL2, perhaps an assembly will be added to Windows/Cygwin and macOS.

  Tested on Debian 8.11.0, can be built in the latest distributions.

• Android NDK r8e and Android NDK r10e
  If already there, you need to specify the path to your NDK via the ANDROID_NDK_R8E variable.

  Android NDK r8e is highly recommended for providing FFmpeg support in Android 2.2 and below.

  Also, in the project settings, specify the path to Android NDK r10e.

• Installed dependencies
  See packages listing for Ubuntu/Debian/Linux Mint or CentOS/Fedora.

• Scripts that build FFmpeg from source
  Run the command inside the OpenVK Legacy repository in terminal:

   chmod +x ./build-ffmpeg.sh
   ANDROID_NDK_R8E=[path/to/ndk-r8e] ANDROID_NDK_R10E=[path/to/ndk-r10e] ./build-ffmpeg.sh

  The source codes of the FFmpeg libraries, as well as the code of builder for Android, are located in the builder submodule of the ./ndk-modules/ovkmplayer directory.

ATTENTION! After an java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry compressed size (expected [m] but got [n] bytes) error occurs in the :[package_name]:mockableAndroidJar task when using Android SDK Build-tools 28 and higher, be sure to clean the project.
