Android example

To compile example to shared library you will need Android NDK. To build Android apk you will need Android SDK.

Export path to Android NDK, point to location where you have unpacked archive (WARNING: NDK 27 is not supported . See https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/issues/4166):

export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/opt/android-ndk

Add toolchain bin directory to PATH:

export PATH=${ANDROID_NDK_HOME}/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:${PATH}

Export sysroot and libdirs:

export ANDROID_SYSROOT=${ANDROID_NDK_HOME}/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/sysroot
export ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN=${ANDROID_NDK_HOME}/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64

Export API version:

export ANDROID_API=16

And compile shared library:

CC="armv7a-linux-androideabi${ANDROID_API}-clang" \
CGO_CFLAGS="-I${ANDROID_SYSROOT}/usr/include -I${ANDROID_SYSROOT}/usr/include/arm-linux-androideabi --sysroot=${ANDROID_SYSROOT} -D__ANDROID_API__=${ANDROID_API}" \
CGO_LDFLAGS="-L${ANDROID_SYSROOT}/usr/lib/arm-linux-androideabi/${ANDROID_API} -L${ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN}/arm-linux-androideabi/lib --sysroot=${ANDROID_SYSROOT}" \
CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=android GOARCH=arm \
go build -buildmode=c-shared -ldflags="-s -w -extldflags=-Wl,-soname,libexample.so" \
-o=android/libs/armeabi-v7a/libexample.so

To build apk export path to Android SDK, point to location where you unpacked archive:

export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-sdk

And build apk:

./gradlew assembleDebug

If everything is successfully built apk can be found in the android/build/outputs.

For aarch64/arm64 replace arm-linux-androideabi with aarch64-linux-android, set GOARCH to arm64 and use minimum ANDROID_API=21.

Windows

To build shared libraries on Windows you can inspect the file androidcompile.bat by opening it on a text editor, it can then be configured to generate the libraries when running the .bat file
