# Android Studio
|
||||
|
||||
Android Studio integration works by generating .gradle files from our BUILD.gn files.
|
||||
|
||||
[TOC]
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
build/android/gradle/generate_gradle.py --output-directory out-gn/Debug --target //chrome/android:chrome_public_apk
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This creates a project at `out-gn/Debug/gradle`. To create elsewhere: `--project-dir foo`
|
||||
|
||||
## Status (as of July 14, 2016)
|
||||
|
||||
### What currently works
|
||||
|
||||
- Basic Java editing and compiling
|
||||
|
||||
### Roadmap / what's not yet implemented ([crbug](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=620034))
|
||||
|
||||
- Test targets (although they *somewhat* work via `--target=//chrome/android:chrome_public_test_apk__apk`)
|
||||
- Make gradle aware of resources and assets
|
||||
- Make gradle aware of native code via pointing it at the location of our .so
|
||||
- Add a mode in which gradle is responsible for generating `R.java`
|
||||
- Add support for native code editing
|
||||
|
||||
### What's odd about our integration
|
||||
|
||||
- We disable generation of `R.java`, `BuildConfig.java`, `AndroidManifest.java`
|
||||
- Generated .java files (.srcjars) are extracted to the project directory upon project creation. They are not re-extracted unless you manually run `generate_gradle.py` again
|
||||
|
||||
## Android Studio Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Configuration instructions can be found [here](http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/configuration). Some suggestions:
|
||||
- Launch it with more RAM: `STUDIO_VM_OPTIONS=-Xmx2048m /opt/android-studio-stable/bin/studio-launcher.sh`
|
||||
- Setup wizard advice:
|
||||
- Choose "Standard", it then fails (at least for me) from "SDK tools directory is missing". Oh well...
|
||||
- Choose "Import" and select your generated project directory
|
||||
- Choose "OK" to set up gradle wrapper
|
||||
- If you ever need to reset it: `rm -r ~/.AndroidStudio*/`
