[JX8-OBSOLETE] Issues installing project on Android Studio

1. Download source project files (node8-android-src-part(1 to 3) zip files)
2. Decompress in new folder JX8 in ~/AndroidStudioProjects
   1. Note that part1 and part2 includes files in folder aleReimondo-jxcore and you MUST JOIN the files from both zip files. Do NOT overwrite the folder because (in unix systems) it can miss the files when you overwrite the folder.
3. Open Android Studio, enter JX8 project and accept new SDK path (if prompted)
4. download NDK r16b from NDK archives ,decompress and copy files to [Android Studio/SDK folder]/ndk-bundle
5. IMPORTANT - to avoid issues building NDK
   1. Edit the file [Android Studio/SDK folder]/ndk-bundle/build/core/build-binary.mk
      commenting the line number 217 to

      #//Ale  LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -Wl,--fatal-warnings

      [edited file=build-binary.mk]
6. Change path in aleReimondo-jxcore/build.gradle to unix format

   def cmd = findNDK() + "/build/ndk-build"

7. Build the JX8 project or (better)
   • connect your android device
   • debug the appS8 application installing the app to the device
   • IMPORTANT if you have installed the application from the market, you need to remove the installed app to install your own copy for debugging.

Steps to rebuild the image

1. See the contents of JX8/s8 folder. It is a console project used to build the image that is embedded in the android application
2. Execute the s8vm in the JX8/s8 folder for each project
   • e.g. edit the file _build.bat to work for your installation. The commands to run are like

     s8vm.exe --expose-gc --shell appS8.js build.js

3. Try to build images for all projects, the new snapshots will be saved in assetsPathName+"default.snapshot.js"
4. After succeeding building the snapshots without errors, clear the constants e.g.

   del appS8/Constants.st
   del appS8/Constants.st.js
   del jx8fb/Constants.st
   del jx8fb/Constants.st.js

5. Build the S8 projects again

   s8vm.exe --expose-gc --shell appS8.js build.js
   s8vm.exe --expose-gc --shell jx8fb.js build.js
   

6. Build the android application, install in the device and debug with Android Studio
