libpurple on Android

This is the documentation to compile and use libpurple on Android.

The Android port of libpurple will be created during a Google Summer of Code project.
For more information see the ​proposal on google melange

Compiling

There are many things you need to do in order to compile the libraries yourself, so there is an extra page for it. You should plan about 1 hour for the setup and another one hour to compile.

There is also a tutorial to set up debugging.

Using

If you just want to use libpurple in your application, you do not need to compile everything. Just use the precompiled binaries for ARM.

There is a tutorial on how to create an Android client.

At the end of the project I am planning to do a release, but for now just mail me if you want to have binaries. -- Michael

Compiling for host

Even if the project is focused on Android, it is also possible to build the Java library on your host.
