I am experimenting with this example. https://www.truiton.com/2014/11/bound-service-example-android/
It only has two java classes
1. BoundService.java ("class BoundService extends service") that
instantiates a chronometer and returns the time elapsed since the service
was started
2. MainActivity.java, which starts the service and binds to it.
The code compiles on a Windows PC, using Android Studio. I can install and
run the apk file on my dedicated embedded android target. The app runs fine.
I would like to be able to compile the example the code on a Linux server
running Ubuntu. The server has been setup to run AOSP. Specifically I would
like to build the app from source code in the */packages/apps/* folder
using a dedicated Android.mk file
The cleaned-up directory structure is given below
\---src
| Android.mk
| AndroidManifest.xml
|
+---java
| \---com
| \---example
| \---chrono
| BoundService.java
| MainActivity.java
|
\---res
+---drawable
+---drawable-v24
+---layout
+---mipmap-anydpi-v26
+---mipmap-hdpi
+---mipmap-mdpi
+---mipmap-xhdpi
+---mipmap-xxhdpi
+---mipmap-xxxhdpi
\---values
The code is successfully compiled into a .APK file ("mm -B -j4"). I can
install the APK file (adb install my_app.apk). However, when I run the app,
the app crashes "My_App has stopped"
The Android.mk file is given below
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := android-common
LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES += android-support-v4
LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES += android-support-v7-appcompat
LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES += android-support-v7-gridlayout
LOCAL_RESOURCE_DIR := $(LOCAL_PATH)/res
LOCAL_RESOURCE_DIR += prebuilts/sdk/current/support/
v7/appcompat/res
LOCAL_RESOURCE_DIR += prebuilts/sdk/current/support/v7/gridlayout/res
LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := BoundService
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, src)
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := tests
LOCAL_AAPT_FLAGS := --auto-add-overlay
LOCAL_AAPT_FLAGS += --extra-packages
android.support.v7.appcompat:android.support.v7.gridlayout:android.common:android.support.v4
include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)
The android manifest file is given below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest package="com.example.chrono"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="25"
android:targetSdkVersion="25" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:name=".BoundService">
</service>
</application>
</manifest>
The app runs if compiled through Android Studio on my Windows PC, but it
doesn't if I compile on the Ubuntu machine using AOSP and the command line.
I am missing something in the "translation". Where is my problem?
Android.mk? AndroidManifest.xml? Somewhere else?
Thanks !!!
