Hey .. So I’m going to TRY and port Galcon to the Android. \u00a0There’s no promises yet, but we’re going to do what we can here. \u00a0If the port isn’t working in about a week, I’ll be giving up.<\/p>\n
Step 1 – Download the SDK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Download the SDK – http:\/\/developer.android.com\/sdk\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n Using the package manager, I got all the versions of the SDK that are NDK and OpenGLES compatible. \u00a0I think we’re talking 1.6+.<\/p>\n Step 2 – Download Eclipse IDE:<\/strong><\/p>\n Download Eclipse IDE – http:\/\/www.eclipse.org\/downloads\/<\/a><\/p>\n I grabbed the Eclipse Classic package since that seemed to be the best guess for doing Java \/ C \/ C++ code. \u00a0I would have opted not to bother downloading Eclipse, but all the tutorials seem to mention it, and I’ve got to start somewhere. \u00a0From what I can tell it’s what everyone uses for development.<\/p>\n Step 3 – Install the Android ADT plugin into Eclipse:<\/strong><\/p>\n Install the Android ADT plugin into Eclipse:<\/p>\n You do this by first going into Eclipse > Preferences > Install\/Update > Available Software Sites > and adding the Android one as specified in Step 1.<\/p>\n Then go to Eclipse > Help (???) > Install new software > Select the android source > check developer tools > next > … finish ><\/p>\n Step 4 – Completing the “Hello World” tutorial:<\/strong><\/p>\n Complete the hello world tutorial.<\/p>\n http:\/\/developer.android.com\/resources\/tutorials\/hello-world.html<\/a><\/p>\n I found that booting up the Android VM took ages, so be patient. \u00a0Eventually your “Hello World” app will start. \u00a0It took at least 2-3 minutes here.<\/p>\n Step 5 – Activating the Droid:<\/strong><\/p>\n Now that I’ve got an app running in the VM, I want to get it running on my Droid and Nexus One. \u00a0Let’s figure out what to do now …<\/p>\n
