I am following https://wladimir-tm4pda.github.io/porting/build_cookbook.html and have modified Building a simple APK
The Android.mk file is at the top level.
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_STATIC_ANDROID_LIBRARIES += \
android-arch-lifecycle-extensions \
android-support-v7-recyclerview \
android-support-v7-appcompat \
android-support-constraint-layout \
# Build all java files in the java subdirectory
#LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-subdir-java-files)
#Commented line just made a ~17kB apk file
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, app/src/main/java)
LOCAL_RESOURCE_DIR += $(LOCAL_PATH)/app/src/main/res
# Name of the APK to build
LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := LocalPackage
LOCAL_SDK_VERSION := current
#Otherwise build failing
# Tell it to build an APK
include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)
I have included it in Android 10 AOSP and built using mm
command in terminal.
The output apk is 1MB big (should be 5 MB) and after doing
adb install -r -t -f LocalPackage.apk
it does not show up in the apps list.
When built in Android Studio it is working fine.
My aim is to make this app a system app but first step is making mm
build succeed. How to rectify this?
UPDATE:
I now changed the location of Android.mk
file to where AndroidManifest.xml
is present and also changed my Android.mk
.
ifeq ($(TARGET_FWK_SUPPORTS_FULL_VALUEADDS),true)
ifeq ($(TARGET_BUILD_JAVA_SUPPORT_LEVEL),platform)
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
res_dir := res $(LOCAL_PATH)/res
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
#LOCAL_SDK_VERSION := current
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, java)
LOCAL_RESOURCE_DIR := $(addprefix $(LOCAL_PATH)/, $(res_dir))
LOCAL_USE_AAPT2 := true
LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES := com.google.android.material_material \
LOCAL_STATIC_ANDROID_LIBRARIES := \
androidx.core_core \
androidx.appcompat_appcompat \
androidx.fragment_fragment \
android-support-constraint-layout \
LOCAL_DEX_PREOPT := false
LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := platform
LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE := true
#LOCAL_PRODUCT_MODULE := true
LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := mediadecode
LOCAL_PRIVATE_PLATFORM_APIS := true
include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)
endif
endif
Now I am getting a 2MB app and the app shows up on the device after install but crashes as soon as I run it with the error

How can I build my apk with mm and run it successfully?
I was able to use Soong compilation for my Kotlin Android app. I used the following Android.bp file.
android_app {
name: "Camera2Video2",
manifest: "AndroidManifest.xml",
privileged: true,
platform_apis: true,
certificate: "platform",
srcs: [
"java/com/example/android/camera2/video/*.kt",
"java/com/example/android/camera2/video/fragments/*.kt",
"java/com/example/android/camera2/video/overlay/*.kt",
"java/com/example/android/camera2/video/utils/*.kt",
],
resource_dirs: [
"res/",
],
static_libs: [
"androidx-constraintlayout_constraintlayout",
"androidx.appcompat_appcompat",
"androidx.localbroadcastmanager_localbroadcastmanager",
"com.google.android.material_material",
"androidx.exifinterface_exifinterface",
"androidx.core_core",
"androidx.preference_preference",
"androidx.fragment_fragment",
],
libs: [
"telephony-common",
],
optimize: {
enabled: false,
},
dex_preopt: {
enabled: false,
},
}
I also tried compiling my Android app after converting it fully to Java. Here is the Android.mk file
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

res_dir := res $(LOCAL_PATH)/res
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, java)
LOCAL_RESOURCE_DIR := $(addprefix $(LOCAL_PATH)/, $(res_dir))

LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES := com.google.android.material_material \
LOCAL_STATIC_ANDROID_LIBRARIES := \

#LOCAL_DEX_PREOPT := false
