 <p>
 This chapter describes SWIG's support of Android.
 </p>


 <H2><a name="Android_overview">21.1 Overview</a></H2>


 <p>
 The Android chapter is fairly short as support for Android is the same as for Java, where the Java Native Interface (JNI) is
 used to call from Android Java into C or C++ compiled code.
 Everything in the <a href="Java.html#Java">Java chapter</a> applies to generating code for access from Android Java code.
 This chapter contains a few Android specific notes and examples.
 </p>

 <H2><a name="Android_examples">21.2 Android examples</a></H2>


 <H3><a name="Android_examples_intro">21.2.1 Examples introduction</a></H3>


 <p>
 The examples require the <a href="https://developer.android.com/sdk/">Android SDK</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/ndk/">Android NDK</a> which can be installed as per instructions in the links.
 The Eclipse version is not required for these examples as just the command line tools are used (shown for Linux as the host, but Windows will be very similar, if not identical in most places).
 Add the SDK tools and NDK tools to your path and create a directory somewhere for your Android projects (adjust PATH as necessary to where you installed the tools):
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ export PATH=$HOME/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools:$HOME/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools:$HOME/android/android-ndk-r6b:$PATH
 $ mkdir AndroidApps
 $ cd AndroidApps
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 The examples use a target id of 1. This might need changing depending on your setup.
 After installation of the Android SDK, the available target ids can be viewed by running the command below.
 Please adjust the id to suit your target device.
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ android list targets
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 The following examples are shipped with SWIG under the Examples/android directory and include a Makefile to build and install each example.
 </p>

 <H3><a name="Android_example_simple">21.2.2 Simple C example</a></H3>


 <p>
 This simple C example shows how to call a C function as well as read and modify a global variable.
 First we'll create and build a pure Java Android app. Afterwards the JNI code will be generated by SWIG and built into the app.
 First create and build an app called <tt>SwigSimple</tt> in a subdirectory called <tt>simple</tt> using the commands below.
 Adjust the <tt>--target</tt> id as mentioned earlier in the <a href="Android.html#Android_examples_intro">Examples introduction</a>.
 <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-cmdline.html">Managing Projects from the Command Line</a> on the Android developer's site is a useful reference for these steps.
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ android create project --target 1 --name SwigSimple --path ./simple --activity SwigSimple --package org.swig.simple
 $ cd simple
 $ ant debug
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Modify <tt>src/org/swig/simple/SwigSimple.java</tt> from the default to:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 package org.swig.simple;

 import android.app.Activity;
 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.view.View;
 import android.widget.Button;
 import android.widget.TextView;
 import android.widget.ScrollView;
 import android.text.method.ScrollingMovementMethod;

 public class SwigSimple extends Activity
 {
     TextView outputText = null;
     ScrollView scroller = null;

     /** Called when the activity is first created. */
     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
     {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.main);

         outputText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.OutputText);
         outputText.setText("Press 'Run' to start...\n");
         outputText.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

         scroller = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.Scroller);
     }

     public void onRunButtonClick(View view)
     {
       outputText.append("Started...\n");
       nativeCall();
       outputText.append("Finished!\n");

       // Ensure scroll to end of text
       scroller.post(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
           scroller.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
         }
       });
     }

     /** Calls into C/C++ code */
     public void nativeCall()
     {
         // TODO
     }
 }
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 The above simply adds a <i>Run</i> button and scrollable text view as the GUI aspects of the program.
 The associated resources need to be created, modify <tt>res/layout/main.xml</tt> as follows:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
 &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:orientation="vertical"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     &gt;
 &lt;Button
     android:id="@+id/RunButton"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:text="Run..."
     android:onClick="onRunButtonClick"
     /&gt;
 &lt;ScrollView
     android:id="@+id/Scroller"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     &gt;
 &lt;TextView
     android:id="@+id/OutputText"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     /&gt;
 &lt;/ScrollView&gt;
 &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Rebuild the project with your changes:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ ant debug
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Although there are no native function calls in the code, yet, you may want to check that this simple pure
 Java app runs before adding in the native calls.
 First, set up your Android device for hardware debugging, see <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html">Using hardware devices</a> on the Android developer's site.
 When complete your device should be listed in those attached, something like:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ adb devices
 List of devices attached
 A32-6DBE0001-9FF80000-015D62C3-02018028 device
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 This means you are now ready to install the application...
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ adb install bin/SwigSimple-debug.apk
 95 KB/s (4834 bytes in 0.049s)
         pkg: /data/local/tmp/SwigSimple-debug.apk
 Success
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 The newly installed 'SwigSimple' app will be amongst all your other applications on the home screen. Run the app and it will show a <i>Run</i> button text box below it.
 Press the <i>Run</i> button to see the simple text output.
 </p>

 <p>
 The application can be uninstalled like any other application and in fact must be uninstalled before installing an updated version. Uninstalling is quite easy too from your host computer:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ adb uninstall org.swig.simple
 Success
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Now that you have a pure Java Android app working, let's add some JNI code generated from SWIG.
 </p>

 <p>
 First create a <tt>jni</tt> subdirectory and then create some C source code in <tt>jni/example.c</tt>:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 /* File : example.c */

 /* A global variable */
 double Foo = 3.0;

 /* Compute the greatest common divisor of positive integers */
 int gcd(int x, int y) {
   int g;
   g = y;
   while (x &gt; 0) {
     g = x;
     x = y % x;
     y = g;
   }
   return g;
 }
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Create a SWIG interface file for this C code, <tt>jni/example.i</tt>:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 /* File : example.i */
 %module example

 %inline %{
 extern int    gcd(int x, int y);
 extern double Foo;
 %}
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Invoke SWIG as follows:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ swig -java -package org.swig.simple -outdir src/org/swig/simple -o jni/example_wrap.c jni/example.i
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 SWIG generates the following files:
 </p>
 <ul>
 <li><tt>src/org/swig/simple/exampleJNI.java</tt></li>
 <li><tt>src/org/swig/simple/example.java</tt></li>
 <li><tt>jni/example_wrap.c</tt></li>
 </ul>

 <p>
 Next we need to create a standard Android NDK build system file <tt>jni/Android.mk</tt>:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 # File: Android.mk
 LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

 include $(CLEAR_VARS)

 LOCAL_MODULE    := example
 LOCAL_SRC_FILES := example_wrap.c example.c

 include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 See the <a href="https://developer.android.com/ndk/">Android NDK documentation</a> for more on the NDK build system and getting started with the NDK.
 A simple invocation of ndk-build will compile the .c files and generate a shared object/system library. Output will be similar to:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ ndk-build
 Compile thumb  : example &lt;= example_wrap.c
 Compile thumb  : example &lt;= example.c
 SharedLibrary  : libexample.so
 Install        : libexample.so =&gt; libs/armeabi/libexample.so
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Now that the C JNI layer has been built, we can write Java code to call into the this layer.
 Modify the <tt>nativeCall</tt> method in <tt>src/org/swig/simple/SwigSimple.java</tt> to call the JNI code as follows and add the static constructor to load the system library containing the compiled JNI C code:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
     /** Calls into C/C++ code */
     public void nativeCall()
     {
       // Call our gcd() function

       int x = 42;
       int y = 105;
       int g = example.gcd(x, y);
       outputText.append("The greatest common divisor of " + x + " and " + y + " is " + g + "\n");

       // Manipulate the Foo global variable

       // Output its current value
       double foo = example.getFoo();
       outputText.append("Foo = " + foo + "\n");

       // Change its value
       example.setFoo(3.1415926);

       // See if the change took effect
       outputText.append("Foo = " + example.getFoo() + "\n");

       // Restore value
       example.setFoo(foo);
     }

     /** static constructor */
     static {
         System.loadLibrary("example");
     }
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Compile the Java code as usual, uninstall the old version of the app if still installed and re-install the new app:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ ant debug
 $ adb uninstall org.swig.simple
 $ adb install bin/SwigSimple-debug.apk
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Run the app again and this time you will see the output pictured below, showing the result of calls into the C code:
 </p>

 <center><img src="android-simple.png" alt="Android screenshot of SwigSimple example"></center>


 <H3><a name="Android_example_class">21.2.3 C++ class example</a></H3>


 <p>
 The steps for calling C++ code are almost identical to those in the previous C code example.
 All the steps required to compile and use a simple hierarchy of classes for shapes are shown in this example.
 </p>

 <p>
 First create an Android project called <tt>SwigClass</tt> in a subdirectory called <tt>class</tt>.
 The steps below create and build the JNI C++ app.
 Adjust the <tt>--target</tt> id as mentioned earlier in the <a href="Android.html#Android_examples_intro">Examples introduction</a>.
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ android create project --target 1 --name SwigClass --path ./class --activity SwigClass --package org.swig.classexample
 $ cd class
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Now create a <tt>jni</tt> subdirectory and then create a C++ header file <tt>jni/example.h</tt> which defines our
 hierarchy of shape classes:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 /* File : example.h */

 class Shape {
 public:
   Shape() {
     nshapes++;
   }
   virtual ~Shape() {
     nshapes--;
   }
   double  x, y;
   void    move(double dx, double dy);
   virtual double area() = 0;
   virtual double perimeter() = 0;
   static  int nshapes;
 };

 class Circle : public Shape {
 private:
   double radius;
 public:
   Circle(double r) : radius(r) { }
   virtual double area();
   virtual double perimeter();
 };

 class Square : public Shape {
 private:
   double width;
 public:
   Square(double w) : width(w) { }
   virtual double area();
   virtual double perimeter();
 };
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 and create the implementation in the <tt>jni/example.cpp</tt> file:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 /* File : example.cpp */

 #include "example.h"
 #define M_PI 3.14159265358979323846

 /* Move the shape to a new location */
 void Shape::move(double dx, double dy) {
   x += dx;
   y += dy;
 }

 int Shape::nshapes = 0;

 double Circle::area() {
   return M_PI*radius*radius;
 }

 double Circle::perimeter() {
   return 2*M_PI*radius;
 }

 double Square::area() {
   return width*width;
 }

 double Square::perimeter() {
   return 4*width;
 }
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Create a SWIG interface file for this C++ code in <tt>jni/example.i</tt>:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 /* File : example.i */
 %module example

 %{
 #include "example.h"
 %}

 /* Let's just grab the original header file here */
 %include "example.h"
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Invoke SWIG as follows, note that the -c++ option is required for C++ code:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ swig -c++ -java -package org.swig.classexample -outdir src/org/swig/classexample -o jni/example_wrap.cpp jni/example.i
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 SWIG generates the following files:
 </p>
 <ul>
 <li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/Square.java</tt></li>
 <li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/exampleJNI.java</tt></li>
 <li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/example.java</tt></li>
 <li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/Circle.java</tt></li>
 <li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/Shape.java</tt></li>
 <li><tt>jni/example_wrap.cpp</tt></li>
 </ul>

 <p>
 Next we need to create an Android NDK build system file for compiling the C++ code <tt>jni/Android.mk</tt>.
 The <tt>-frtti</tt> compiler flag isn't strictly needed for this example, but is needed for any code that uses C++ RTTI:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 # File: Android.mk
 LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

 include $(CLEAR_VARS)

 LOCAL_MODULE    := example
 LOCAL_SRC_FILES := example_wrap.cpp example.cpp
 LOCAL_CFLAGS    := -frtti

 include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
 </pre>
 </div>


 <p>
 A simple invocation of ndk-build will compile the .cpp files and generate a shared object/system library. Output will be similar to:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ ndk-build
 Compile++ thumb  : example &lt;= example_wrap.cpp
 Compile++ thumb  : example &lt;= example.cpp
 StaticLibrary  : libstdc++.a
 SharedLibrary  : libexample.so
 Install        : libexample.so =&gt; libs/armeabi/libexample.so
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Now that the C JNI layer has been built, we can write Java code to call into this layer.
 Modify <tt>src/org/swig/classexample/SwigClass.java</tt> from the default to:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 package org.swig.classexample;

 import android.app.Activity;
 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.view.View;
 import android.widget.Button;
 import android.widget.TextView;
 import android.widget.ScrollView;
 import android.text.method.ScrollingMovementMethod;

 public class SwigClass extends Activity
 {
     TextView outputText = null;
     ScrollView scroller = null;

     /** Called when the activity is first created. */
     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
     {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.main);

         outputText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.OutputText);
         outputText.setText("Press 'Run' to start...\n");
         outputText.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

         scroller = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.Scroller);
     }

     public void onRunButtonClick(View view)
     {
       outputText.append("Started...\n");
       nativeCall();
       outputText.append("Finished!\n");

       // Ensure scroll to end of text
       scroller.post(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
           scroller.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
         }
       });
     }

     /** Calls into C/C++ code */
     public void nativeCall()
     {
       // ----- Object creation -----

       outputText.append( "Creating some objects:\n" );
       Circle c = new Circle(10);
       outputText.append( "    Created circle " + c + "\n");
       Square s = new Square(10);
       outputText.append( "    Created square " + s + "\n");

       // ----- Access a static member -----

       outputText.append( "\nA total of " + Shape.getNshapes() + " shapes were created\n" );

       // ----- Member data access -----

       // Notice how we can do this using functions specific to
       // the 'Circle' class.
       c.setX(20);
       c.setY(30);

       // Now use the same functions in the base class
       Shape shape = s;
       shape.setX(-10);
       shape.setY(5);

       outputText.append( "\nHere is their current position:\n" );
       outputText.append( "    Circle = (" + c.getX() + " " + c.getY() + ")\n" );
       outputText.append( "    Square = (" + s.getX() + " " + s.getY() + ")\n" );

       // ----- Call some methods -----

       outputText.append( "\nHere are some properties of the shapes:\n" );
       Shape[] shapes = {c, s};
       for (int i=0; i&lt;shapes.length; i++)
       {
         outputText.append( "   " + shapes[i].toString() + "\n" );
         outputText.append( "        area      = " + shapes[i].area() + "\n" );
         outputText.append( "        perimeter = " + shapes[i].perimeter() + "\n" );
       }

       // Notice how the area() and perimeter() functions really
       // invoke the appropriate virtual method on each object.

       // ----- Delete everything -----

       outputText.append( "\nGuess I'll clean up now\n" );

       // Note: this invokes the virtual destructor
       // You could leave this to the garbage collector
       c.delete();
       s.delete();

       outputText.append( Shape.getNshapes() + " shapes remain\n" );
       outputText.append( "Goodbye\n" );
     }

     /** static constructor */
     static {
         System.loadLibrary("example");
     }
 }
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Note the static constructor and the interesting JNI code is in the <tt>nativeCall</tt> method.
 The remaining code deals with the GUI aspects which are identical to the previous C simple example. Modify <tt>res/layout/main.xml</tt> to contain the xml for the 'Run' button and scrollable text view:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
 &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:orientation="vertical"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     &gt;
 &lt;Button
     android:id="@+id/RunButton"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:text="Run..."
     android:onClick="onRunButtonClick"
     /&gt;
 &lt;ScrollView
     android:id="@+id/Scroller"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     &gt;
 &lt;TextView
     android:id="@+id/OutputText"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     /&gt;
 &lt;/ScrollView&gt;
 &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
 </pre>
 </div>


 <p>
 Compile the Java code as usual, uninstall the old version of the app if installed and re-install the new app:
 </p>

 <div class="shell">
 <pre>
 $ ant debug
 $ adb uninstall org.swig.classexample
 $ adb install bin/SwigClass-debug.apk
 </pre>
 </div>

 <p>
 Run the app to see the result of calling the C++ code from Java:
 </p>

 <center><img src="android-class.png" alt="Android screenshot of SwigClass example"></center>

 <H3><a name="Android_examples_other">21.2.4 Other examples</a></H3>


 <p>
 The Examples/android directory contains further examples which can be run and installed in a similar manner to the previous two examples.
 </p>

 <p>
 Note that the 'extend' example is demonstrates the directors feature.
 Normally C++ exception handling and the STL is not available by default in the version of g++ shipped with Android, but this example turns these features on as described in the next section.
 </p>

 <H2><a name="Android_stl">21.3 C++ STL</a></H2>


 <p>
 Should the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) be required, an <tt>Application.mk</tt> file needs to be created
 in the same directory as the <tt>Android.mk</tt> directory containing information about the STL to use.
 See the NDK documentation in the $NDKROOT/docs folder especially CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html.
 Below is an example of the <tt>Application.mk</tt> file to make the STLport static library available for use:
 </p>

 <div class="code">
 <pre>
 # File: Application.mk
 APP_STL := gnustl_static
 </pre>
 </div>

	<p>
	This chapter describes SWIG's support of Android.
	</p>



	<H2><a name="Android_overview">21.1 Overview</a></H2>


	<p>
	The Android chapter is fairly short as support for Android is the same as for Java, where the Java Native Interface (JNI) is
	used to call from Android Java into C or C++ compiled code.
	Everything in the <a href="Java.html#Java">Java chapter</a> applies to generating code for access from Android Java code.
	This chapter contains a few Android specific notes and examples.
	</p>

	<H2><a name="Android_examples">21.2 Android examples</a></H2>


	<H3><a name="Android_examples_intro">21.2.1 Examples introduction</a></H3>


	<p>
	The examples require the <a href="https://developer.android.com/sdk/">Android SDK</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/ndk/">Android NDK</a> which can be installed as per instructions in the links.
	The Eclipse version is not required for these examples as just the command line tools are used (shown for Linux as the host, but Windows will be very similar, if not identical in most places).
	Add the SDK tools and NDK tools to your path and create a directory somewhere for your Android projects (adjust PATH as necessary to where you installed the tools):
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ export PATH=$HOME/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools:$HOME/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools:$HOME/android/android-ndk-r6b:$PATH
	$ mkdir AndroidApps
	$ cd AndroidApps
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	The examples use a target id of 1. This might need changing depending on your setup.
	After installation of the Android SDK, the available target ids can be viewed by running the command below.
	Please adjust the id to suit your target device.
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ android list targets
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	The following examples are shipped with SWIG under the Examples/android directory and include a Makefile to build and install each example.
	</p>

	<H3><a name="Android_example_simple">21.2.2 Simple C example</a></H3>


	<p>
	This simple C example shows how to call a C function as well as read and modify a global variable.
	First we'll create and build a pure Java Android app. Afterwards the JNI code will be generated by SWIG and built into the app.
	First create and build an app called <tt>SwigSimple</tt> in a subdirectory called <tt>simple</tt> using the commands below.
	Adjust the <tt>--target</tt> id as mentioned earlier in the <a href="Android.html#Android_examples_intro">Examples introduction</a>.
	<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-cmdline.html">Managing Projects from the Command Line</a> on the Android developer's site is a useful reference for these steps.
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ android create project --target 1 --name SwigSimple --path ./simple --activity SwigSimple --package org.swig.simple
	$ cd simple
	$ ant debug
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Modify <tt>src/org/swig/simple/SwigSimple.java</tt> from the default to:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	package org.swig.simple;

	import android.app.Activity;
	import android.os.Bundle;
	import android.view.View;
	import android.widget.Button;
	import android.widget.TextView;
	import android.widget.ScrollView;
	import android.text.method.ScrollingMovementMethod;

	public class SwigSimple extends Activity
	{
	TextView outputText = null;
	ScrollView scroller = null;

	/** Called when the activity is first created. */
	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
	{
	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	setContentView(R.layout.main);

	outputText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.OutputText);
	outputText.setText("Press 'Run' to start...\n");
	outputText.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

	scroller = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.Scroller);
	}

	public void onRunButtonClick(View view)
	{
	outputText.append("Started...\n");
	nativeCall();
	outputText.append("Finished!\n");

	// Ensure scroll to end of text
	scroller.post(new Runnable() {
	public void run() {
	scroller.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
	}
	});
	}

	/** Calls into C/C++ code */
	public void nativeCall()
	{
	// TODO
	}
	}
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	The above simply adds a <i>Run</i> button and scrollable text view as the GUI aspects of the program.
	The associated resources need to be created, modify <tt>res/layout/main.xml</tt> as follows:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
	<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
	android:orientation="vertical"
	android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	android:layout_height="fill_parent"
	>
	<Button
	android:id="@+id/RunButton"
	android:layout_width="wrap_content"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:text="Run..."
	android:onClick="onRunButtonClick"
	/>
	<ScrollView
	android:id="@+id/Scroller"
	android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	android:layout_height="fill_parent"
	>
	<TextView
	android:id="@+id/OutputText"
	android:layout_width="wrap_content"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	/>
	</ScrollView>
	</LinearLayout>
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Rebuild the project with your changes:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ ant debug
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Although there are no native function calls in the code, yet, you may want to check that this simple pure
	Java app runs before adding in the native calls.
	First, set up your Android device for hardware debugging, see <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html">Using hardware devices</a> on the Android developer's site.
	When complete your device should be listed in those attached, something like:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ adb devices
	List of devices attached
	A32-6DBE0001-9FF80000-015D62C3-02018028 device
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	This means you are now ready to install the application...
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ adb install bin/SwigSimple-debug.apk
	95 KB/s (4834 bytes in 0.049s)
	pkg: /data/local/tmp/SwigSimple-debug.apk
	Success
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	The newly installed 'SwigSimple' app will be amongst all your other applications on the home screen. Run the app and it will show a <i>Run</i> button text box below it.
	Press the <i>Run</i> button to see the simple text output.
	</p>

	<p>
	The application can be uninstalled like any other application and in fact must be uninstalled before installing an updated version. Uninstalling is quite easy too from your host computer:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ adb uninstall org.swig.simple
	Success
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Now that you have a pure Java Android app working, let's add some JNI code generated from SWIG.
	</p>

	<p>
	First create a <tt>jni</tt> subdirectory and then create some C source code in <tt>jni/example.c</tt>:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	/* File : example.c */

	/* A global variable */
	double Foo = 3.0;

	/* Compute the greatest common divisor of positive integers */
	int gcd(int x, int y) {
	int g;
	g = y;
	while (x > 0) {
	g = x;
	x = y % x;
	y = g;
	}
	return g;
	}
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Create a SWIG interface file for this C code, <tt>jni/example.i</tt>:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	/* File : example.i */
	%module example

	%inline %{
	extern int gcd(int x, int y);
	extern double Foo;
	%}
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Invoke SWIG as follows:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ swig -java -package org.swig.simple -outdir src/org/swig/simple -o jni/example_wrap.c jni/example.i
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	SWIG generates the following files:
	</p>
	<ul>
	<li><tt>src/org/swig/simple/exampleJNI.java</tt></li>
	<li><tt>src/org/swig/simple/example.java</tt></li>
	<li><tt>jni/example_wrap.c</tt></li>
	</ul>

	<p>
	Next we need to create a standard Android NDK build system file <tt>jni/Android.mk</tt>:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	# File: Android.mk
	LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

	include $(CLEAR_VARS)

	LOCAL_MODULE := example
	LOCAL_SRC_FILES := example_wrap.c example.c

	include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	See the <a href="https://developer.android.com/ndk/">Android NDK documentation</a> for more on the NDK build system and getting started with the NDK.
	A simple invocation of ndk-build will compile the .c files and generate a shared object/system library. Output will be similar to:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ ndk-build
	Compile thumb : example <= example_wrap.c
	Compile thumb : example <= example.c
	SharedLibrary : libexample.so
	Install : libexample.so => libs/armeabi/libexample.so
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Now that the C JNI layer has been built, we can write Java code to call into the this layer.
	Modify the <tt>nativeCall</tt> method in <tt>src/org/swig/simple/SwigSimple.java</tt> to call the JNI code as follows and add the static constructor to load the system library containing the compiled JNI C code:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	/** Calls into C/C++ code */
	public void nativeCall()
	{
	// Call our gcd() function

	int x = 42;
	int y = 105;
	int g = example.gcd(x, y);
	outputText.append("The greatest common divisor of " + x + " and " + y + " is " + g + "\n");

	// Manipulate the Foo global variable

	// Output its current value
	double foo = example.getFoo();
	outputText.append("Foo = " + foo + "\n");

	// Change its value
	example.setFoo(3.1415926);

	// See if the change took effect
	outputText.append("Foo = " + example.getFoo() + "\n");

	// Restore value
	example.setFoo(foo);
	}

	/** static constructor */
	static {
	System.loadLibrary("example");
	}
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Compile the Java code as usual, uninstall the old version of the app if still installed and re-install the new app:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ ant debug
	$ adb uninstall org.swig.simple
	$ adb install bin/SwigSimple-debug.apk
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Run the app again and this time you will see the output pictured below, showing the result of calls into the C code:
	</p>

	<center><img src="android-simple.png" alt="Android screenshot of SwigSimple example"></center>


	<H3><a name="Android_example_class">21.2.3 C++ class example</a></H3>


	<p>
	The steps for calling C++ code are almost identical to those in the previous C code example.
	All the steps required to compile and use a simple hierarchy of classes for shapes are shown in this example.
	</p>

	<p>
	First create an Android project called <tt>SwigClass</tt> in a subdirectory called <tt>class</tt>.
	The steps below create and build the JNI C++ app.
	Adjust the <tt>--target</tt> id as mentioned earlier in the <a href="Android.html#Android_examples_intro">Examples introduction</a>.
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ android create project --target 1 --name SwigClass --path ./class --activity SwigClass --package org.swig.classexample
	$ cd class
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Now create a <tt>jni</tt> subdirectory and then create a C++ header file <tt>jni/example.h</tt> which defines our
	hierarchy of shape classes:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	/* File : example.h */

	class Shape {
	public:
	Shape() {
	nshapes++;
	}
	virtual ~Shape() {
	nshapes--;
	}
	double x, y;
	void move(double dx, double dy);
	virtual double area() = 0;
	virtual double perimeter() = 0;
	static int nshapes;
	};

	class Circle : public Shape {
	private:
	double radius;
	public:
	Circle(double r) : radius(r) { }
	virtual double area();
	virtual double perimeter();
	};

	class Square : public Shape {
	private:
	double width;
	public:
	Square(double w) : width(w) { }
	virtual double area();
	virtual double perimeter();
	};
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	and create the implementation in the <tt>jni/example.cpp</tt> file:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	/* File : example.cpp */

	#include "example.h"
	#define M_PI 3.14159265358979323846

	/* Move the shape to a new location */
	void Shape::move(double dx, double dy) {
	x += dx;
	y += dy;
	}

	int Shape::nshapes = 0;

	double Circle::area() {
	return M_PIradiusradius;
	}

	double Circle::perimeter() {
	return 2M_PIradius;
	}

	double Square::area() {
	return width*width;
	}

	double Square::perimeter() {
	return 4*width;
	}
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Create a SWIG interface file for this C++ code in <tt>jni/example.i</tt>:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	/* File : example.i */
	%module example

	%{
	#include "example.h"
	%}

	/* Let's just grab the original header file here */
	%include "example.h"
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Invoke SWIG as follows, note that the -c++ option is required for C++ code:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ swig -c++ -java -package org.swig.classexample -outdir src/org/swig/classexample -o jni/example_wrap.cpp jni/example.i
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	SWIG generates the following files:
	</p>
	<ul>
	<li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/Square.java</tt></li>
	<li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/exampleJNI.java</tt></li>
	<li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/example.java</tt></li>
	<li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/Circle.java</tt></li>
	<li><tt>src/org/swig/classexample/Shape.java</tt></li>
	<li><tt>jni/example_wrap.cpp</tt></li>
	</ul>

	<p>
	Next we need to create an Android NDK build system file for compiling the C++ code <tt>jni/Android.mk</tt>.
	The <tt>-frtti</tt> compiler flag isn't strictly needed for this example, but is needed for any code that uses C++ RTTI:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	# File: Android.mk
	LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

	include $(CLEAR_VARS)

	LOCAL_MODULE := example
	LOCAL_SRC_FILES := example_wrap.cpp example.cpp
	LOCAL_CFLAGS := -frtti

	include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
	</pre>
	</div>


	<p>
	A simple invocation of ndk-build will compile the .cpp files and generate a shared object/system library. Output will be similar to:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ ndk-build
	Compile++ thumb : example <= example_wrap.cpp
	Compile++ thumb : example <= example.cpp
	StaticLibrary : libstdc++.a
	SharedLibrary : libexample.so
	Install : libexample.so => libs/armeabi/libexample.so
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Now that the C JNI layer has been built, we can write Java code to call into this layer.
	Modify <tt>src/org/swig/classexample/SwigClass.java</tt> from the default to:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	package org.swig.classexample;

	import android.app.Activity;
	import android.os.Bundle;
	import android.view.View;
	import android.widget.Button;
	import android.widget.TextView;
	import android.widget.ScrollView;
	import android.text.method.ScrollingMovementMethod;

	public class SwigClass extends Activity
	{
	TextView outputText = null;
	ScrollView scroller = null;

	/** Called when the activity is first created. */
	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
	{
	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	setContentView(R.layout.main);

	outputText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.OutputText);
	outputText.setText("Press 'Run' to start...\n");
	outputText.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

	scroller = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.Scroller);
	}

	public void onRunButtonClick(View view)
	{
	outputText.append("Started...\n");
	nativeCall();
	outputText.append("Finished!\n");

	// Ensure scroll to end of text
	scroller.post(new Runnable() {
	public void run() {
	scroller.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
	}
	});
	}

	/** Calls into C/C++ code */
	public void nativeCall()
	{
	// ----- Object creation -----

	outputText.append( "Creating some objects:\n" );
	Circle c = new Circle(10);
	outputText.append( " Created circle " + c + "\n");
	Square s = new Square(10);
	outputText.append( " Created square " + s + "\n");

	// ----- Access a static member -----

	outputText.append( "\nA total of " + Shape.getNshapes() + " shapes were created\n" );

	// ----- Member data access -----

	// Notice how we can do this using functions specific to
	// the 'Circle' class.
	c.setX(20);
	c.setY(30);

	// Now use the same functions in the base class
	Shape shape = s;
	shape.setX(-10);
	shape.setY(5);

	outputText.append( "\nHere is their current position:\n" );
	outputText.append( " Circle = (" + c.getX() + " " + c.getY() + ")\n" );
	outputText.append( " Square = (" + s.getX() + " " + s.getY() + ")\n" );

	// ----- Call some methods -----

	outputText.append( "\nHere are some properties of the shapes:\n" );
	Shape[] shapes = {c, s};
	for (int i=0; i<shapes.length; i++)
	{

	outputText.append( " area = " + shapes[i].area() + "\n" );
	outputText.append( " perimeter = " + shapes[i].perimeter() + "\n" );
	}

	// Notice how the area() and perimeter() functions really
	// invoke the appropriate virtual method on each object.

	// ----- Delete everything -----

	outputText.append( "\nGuess I'll clean up now\n" );

	// Note: this invokes the virtual destructor
	// You could leave this to the garbage collector
	c.delete();
	s.delete();

	outputText.append( Shape.getNshapes() + " shapes remain\n" );
	outputText.append( "Goodbye\n" );
	}

	/** static constructor */
	static {
	System.loadLibrary("example");
	}
	}
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Note the static constructor and the interesting JNI code is in the <tt>nativeCall</tt> method.
	The remaining code deals with the GUI aspects which are identical to the previous C simple example. Modify <tt>res/layout/main.xml</tt> to contain the xml for the 'Run' button and scrollable text view:
	</p>

	<div class="code">
	<pre>
	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
	<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	/>
	</ScrollView>
	</LinearLayout>
	</pre>
	</div>


	<p>
	Compile the Java code as usual, uninstall the old version of the app if installed and re-install the new app:
	</p>

	<div class="shell">
	<pre>
	$ ant debug
	$ adb uninstall org.swig.classexample
	$ adb install bin/SwigClass-debug.apk
	</pre>
	</div>

	<p>
	Run the app to see the result of calling the C++ code from Java:

	<H3><a name="Android_examples_other">21.2.4 Other examples</a></H3>


	<p>
	The Examples/android directory contains further examples which can be run and installed in a similar manner to the previous two examples.
	</p>

	<p>
	Note that the 'extend' example is demonstrates the directors feature.
	Normally C++ exception handling and the STL is not available by default in the version of g++ shipped with Android, but this example turns these features on as described in the next section.
	</p>

	<H2><a name="Android_stl">21.3 C++ STL</a></H2>


	<p>
	Should the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) be required, an <tt>Application.mk</tt> file needs to be created
	in the same directory as the <tt>Android.mk</tt> directory containing information about the STL to use.
	See the NDK documentation in the $NDKROOT/docs folder especially CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html.
	Below is an example of the <tt>Application.mk</tt> file to make the STLport static library available for use:
