How to build project?

To build Orion Viewer you will need:

• Android Studio 2022.3+
• android-sdk 33+
• android-ndk 20+
• make and python3 for mupdf

• git

• downloaded native libs (mupdf, djvu):

  ./gradlew -b thirdparty_build.gradle downloadAndPatchDjvu downloadAndMakeMupdf

  Build scripts for them are defined in externalNativeBuild section in gradle build files
  (for details see djvuModule/build.gradle and mupdfModule/build.gradle).
  Native libs are checked out into nativeLibs/djvu and nativeLibs/mupdf folders.

• specify path to android-sdk in local.properties (use local.properties.sample as example).

To build Android apk files run:

./gradlew :orion-viewer:assembleDebug (or assembleRelease)

It will generate apk artifacts suitable for Android 4.1+ devices.

For Android 4.0.x devices use next build commands (it also requires android-ndk 17):

./gradlew :nativeLibs:djvuModule:clean :nativeLibs:mupdfModule:clean ./gradlew :orion-viewer:assembleArm7Debug -Porion.build.android40=true

Pre 0.80 versions are compatible with Android 2.1+ devices
