I2P Android
Build process
Dependencies:
- Java SDK (preferably Oracle/Sun or OpenJDK) 1.6.0 or higher
- Apache Ant 1.8.0 or higher
- I2P source in ../i2p.i2p
- Android SDK (tested with Rev 22.6.4 and platform-tools version 19.1)
Preparation
-
Download the Android SDK. The simplest method is to download Android Studio.
-
Check out the
i2p.i2prepository. -
Create a
local.propertiesfile ini2p.android.base/routerjarscontaining:i2psrc=/path/to/i2p.i2p -
Gradle will pull dependencies over the clearnet by default. To use Tor, create a
gradle.propertiesfile ini2p.android.basecontaining:systemProp.socksProxyHost=localhost systemProp.socksProxyPort=9150
Building from the command line
-
Create a
local.propertiesfile ini2p.android.basecontaining:sdk.dir=/path/to/android-studio/sdk -
./gradlew assembleDebug -
The APK will be placed in
i2p.android.base/app/build/outputs/apk.
Building with Android Studio
-
Import
i2p.android.baseinto Android Studio. (This creates thelocal.propertiesfile automatically). -
Build and run the app (
Shift+F10).
Commands from the old build instructions that might be useful
# Create the android 4.4 (API 19) virtual device
# (don't make a custom hardware profile)
../android-sdk-linux/tools/android create avd --name i2p --target android-19
# then run the emulator:
# This may take a LONG time the first time (half an hour or more)...
# Run the debugger to ensure it is making progress
# -no-boot-anim for faster boot
# -dns-server 8.8.8.8 if the router can't reseed
# ../android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator -avd i2p -no-boot-anim -dns-server 8.8.8.8 &
../android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator -avd i2p &
# or to talk to a real device in debug mode:
# You have to do this if you get a permission error -
# Stop ddms, unplug the device, do the following,
# then plug in the device, then start ddms
adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
adb devices
# Anyway, with I2P installed, click on the I2P icon on your device and enjoy!
#other helpful commands
../android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb shell
../android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb pull /some/file/on/emulator some-local-dir/
# copy the Dev Tools app from the emulator to your device
adb -e pull /system/app/Development.apk ./Development.apk
adb -d install Development.apk
# reinstall an existing apk onto the emulator
adb -e install -r bin/I2PAndroid-debug.apk
