Android Application

We can use the android.native_app rule to build Android native applications.

Native App

EXPLORER

src

android

AndroidManifest.xml

main.cpp

xmake.lua

Lua xmake.lua

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

target("android_app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_rules("android.native_app", {
        android_manifest = "src/android/AndroidManifest.xml",
        package_name = "com.xmake.demo",
        android_sdk_version = "35"
    })

Build and Run

$ xmake f -p android --ndk=/path/to/ndk
$ xmake
$ xmake install
$ xmake run

Custom Glue

If you want to use custom glue code (or standard android_native_app_glue), you can do so by creating a project with the appropriate AndroidManifest.xml and native code.
