vatedroid

vatedroid (v8 droid) is a basic sample project demonstrating how to embed v8 in an android application through the android ndk

requirements

• the v8 source

• Android SDK

• Android NDK

instructions

• create an android project with the vatedroid source

  android update project --name vatedroid --target

• compile the v8 source with for the android arm architecture

run the following from the root directory of the v8 source

make android_arm.release

• locate the v8 libraries generated by building v8

they are buried, start looking in

path/to/v8/out/android_arm.release/obj.target/

• copy the v8 static libraries to the libs directory of the android project

copy both libv8_base.a and libv8_nosnapshot.a with something like the following

cp path/to/the/v8/libs/libv8_base.a path/to/your/android/project/libs/libv8_base.a

• build the ndk shared library

  ndk-build

the ndk root directory must be availabe on your path for the above to work

• build the android project

  ant debug

or

ant release

• install on device or simulator

  adb install <project.apk>

where project.apk is the filename ofthe apk file generated by the previous build step.
