12These instructions need to be followed only once to setup your copy of HelloSkia. Path parts that
13are surrounded with curly braces should be replaced with the paths that are described.
14
151. Follow the quick start guide on building Skia for Android.
16
172. Copy {Skia root directory}/trunk/out/config/android-{your architecture}/{Relase or
18Debug}/lib.target/libskia_android.so into {HellSkia root directory}/jni/skia/libskia_android.so
19
203. Copy {Skia root directory}/trunk/include into {HellSkia root directory}/jni/skia. This should be
21done so that the path {HellSkia root directory}/jni/skia/include is a folder that contains, to name
22just a few, the folders config and core.

28The following assumes that the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK and the Android NDK
29directory are both on the system path. This also assumes that adb is working and connected with some
30device or virtual device.
31
321. Open a terminal to the HelloSkia root directory and enter these commands:
33
34$ ndk-build # Builds the modules inside of jni/
35$ ant debug # Builds the Activity and packages it with all resources and modules of jni/
36$ adb install -r bin/HelloSkia-debug.apk # Installs the app onto a device
37
382. To run the app, open your Android device's launcher and start the application labeled
39HelloSkiaActivity.
