arm64 for Android about frostwire-jlibtorrent

[aldenml]

Ok, 1.1.0.10 is out for arm, x86, arm64 and x86_64 (see the new artifacts): http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cfrostwire

Supposedly the arm64 should include a core to run 32 bits instructions. Is this a regular market device/phone?

I'm currently splitting my APK's by architecture to make sure it doesn't become huge

No arm64 version of jlibtorrent means that I can't use the arm64 version of my other library. The armv7a version is not automatically included in the arm64 APK when the arm64 version of the library is missing. And thus the arm64 version doesn't work.

Now I underestand. Well, there is a chance, but I can't say a time. I need to review the build/jar creation. Is this a pressing issue for you?

[sv244]

Not really.

You have x86 and armeabi-v7a currently. I didn't have time yet to compile the libraries myself, but I would say that adding the following script to swig/build-android.sh would work?

$BOOST_ROOT/bjam --user-config=android-config.jam toolset=gcc-ndk10.android.21.arm64v8a.4.9 target-os=android location=bin/android/arm64-v8a
mv bin/android/arm64-v8a/libjlibtorrent.so.1.1.0 bin/android/arm64-v8a/libjlibtorrent.so
TARGET=bin/android/arm64-v8a/libjlibtorrent.so
$NDK_ROOT/toolchains/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/aarch64-linux-android-strip --strip-unneeded -x $TARGET

[aldenml]

I need to setup the toolchain for 64 bits in android-config.jam and compile the openssl first.

[sv244]

Haha. Yes of course. I understand. I guess you meant I need to review the build/jar creation as something else you need to do first?

[aldenml]

yes :)

[sv244]

Then I misunderstood that you misunderstood me. Just take your time. I'm happy this library exists anyways.

There aren't that many arm64 Android devices out there yet, but I guess the number will increase a lot in the next year. Better be prepared. :D

[sv244]

Wow. I missed this. Great!
