This is a sample demonstrating how to develop on Objective-C for both iOS and Android with help of CrystaX NDK. This is simple application which draw rotating cube and handle screen touches. Whole code is Objective-C - no Java at all.
This sample uses the shared sources between iOS and Android. For simplicity, all shared sources
are located in common
folder (of course, OpenGL shaders are shared too; they're located in shaders
folder).
There are some amount of platform-specific code, which is not shared between iOS and Android
(you can find it in ios
and android
folders); however, it's amount is small, and it's
really needed since main entry points and some platform details are very different between
iOS and Android.
The only supported development hosts for this example are OS X (one can build and run this sample on both iOS and Android) and GNU/Linux (one can build and run this sample on Android). This is done for simplicity of project files. Since both OS X and GNU/Linux support POSIX environment and include GNU make, it's simple to write makefile for Android project without requiring additional tools (such as Gradle).
This is simple: just open ios/opengl.xcodeproj
in Xcode, build and run.
To build it for Android, the following prerequisities needed:
Please note, however, that CrystaX NDK should be of version 10.3.1 or higher. With Homebrew, you can check it as below:
brew info crystax-ndk
Alternatively, you can download latest daily build(darwin, linux, windows) and unpack it somewhere:
curl -OL https://dl.crystax.net/ndk/darwin/current/crystax-ndk-10.3.1-b799-darwin-x86_64.tar.xz
tar xf crystax-ndk-10.3.1-b799-darwin-x86_64.tar.xz
Note:
I have searched and found no replacement for the android update project command. If you still need to build I suggest reverting to SDK Tools 25.2.5 or earlier as they removed the command in Build Tool 25.3.0
You can download them from here and replace the tools folder in your ANDROID_SDK_HOME directory https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-windows.zip https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-macosx.zip https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-linux.zip
Now, create anroid/local.mk
with settings pointing to your Android SDK and CrystaX NDK installations.
You can look into android/local.mk.sample
for example.
When it's done, plug your Android device by USB, cd to android
folder and type there:
make run
