Setting up Bypass on Android Studio

[krngrvr09]

Hey I am relatively new to Bypass and android. If its not much trouble, can any of you tell me how to set this up on android studio. Thanks you very much. :)

Bypass relies on the NDK to be built, which isn't available in Android Studio right now. It would be convenient if an AAR was made available with pre-built binaries included, similar to how cwac-anddown does.

why does it need ndk to be build?

[PhaniGaddipati]

After downloading the NDK and boost libs, the binaries can be build into the *.so libraries. In Android Studio, these can be included main/jniLibs

Anyone figured out how to solve this yet?

@jonathan34c My experience with NDK-dependent libraries is fairly limited, but last night I think I managed to get this working in Android Studio.

1. Build the library .so files via the instructions under /platform/android/README.md. You just need to run ndk-build in the /platform/android/library directory, making sure you have the proper environment variables defined.
2. Copy the built .so file structure (there should be bunch of folders each with a libbypass.so) into /src/main/jniLibs for your app module.
3. Copy the java files from /platform/android/library/src to /src/main/java for your app module.

Here's a screenshot of my app src folder, if that helps.

I thought I would have to copy the files from /platform/android/library/jni to my /src/main/jni folder where my other native code sits, but my project is working without them. Ideally I would like to be able to import the entire /library/ directory as its own module similar to how I think they describe it works for Eclipse, but I haven't figured out how to get that working.

It would be great if someone with more experience integrating NDK-dependent libraries could include a sample Android Studio project under /platform/android, to ease the integration process.

Hey @damien5314 , thank you. I eventually managed to make it works as well. I am trying to make image show with the text and changed the color of text with notations:). Again, thank you for the instruction. thank you

I have just come to report the same thing as @damien5314 . Looks like he beat me to it, ha!

I also toyed with getting it to build with NDK too, but had little luck.

Damien, I have this makefile building with AOSP's build system here if it helps: https://github.com/MatthewBooth/OTAUpdates/tree/aosp/jni. I'm pretty sure I saw a gradle hack to run a makefile

For your convenience, I have compiled Bypass into a gradle compatible library here: https://github.com/Commit451/bypasses

[Sheshlok]

How do you generate '.so' files for Android Studio ? The structure I am looking for is something similar to this - Note there are no 'mk'/'cpp'/'h' files. I don't want to add Commit451's gradle dependency since I want to add some custom styles (as seen in the below snapshot).

@Sheshlok do you found any solution for your custom requirements? I also need the same bypass library as you mentioned in your pic.
