Howto build inside AOSP #13

Closed chr4 closed 10 years ago

chr4 commented 10 years ago

As you created an Android.mk file, I was wondering if it is possible to bulid this inside AOSP directly. Wouldn't it be better to not use the com.google.android.maps directory, but place the content directly in the repository root? Then you supposedly just add the repo into your manifest and com.google.android.maps in PRODUCT_PACKAGES and it should work? Is there a specific reason for the directory, or am I missing something else?

The directory is not needed, but doesn't hurt if you build using AOSP build system. The build system recurses into all subdirectories if a directory has no Android.mk in it. So adding to manifest and PRODUCT_PACKAGES (don't forget adding the XML as well) should already work.

If you don't mind having a possibly buggy version and you build from AOSP anyway I'd like to ask you to use the newer version at https://github.com/microg/android_frameworks_mapsv1 - it's no longer a modified osmdroid, but uses the latter as a library. The osmdroid version used is much more up to date for that reason.

Hi, thanks for your reply! I wouldn't mind trying out the new one, I'm having issues compiling it in AOSP here though, will open up an issue.
