Help to import Android Chromium into an IDE?

[MinhHoang To]

My purpose while working on Chromium is only to make a custom version for Android. Hence, i need to convert chrome/android/java into an Android Studio project to simplify the build process. I wish to know if that is feasible and in case it is, please give me instructions to do so.

What i have done so far (but there seem to be distance to success due to the complex library dependency in Android Chromium )is to create a project in Android Studio and:

  1. Copy the generated AndroidManifest.xml to the project

  2. Copy the chrome/android/java/src  and chrome/android/java_staging/src to the source directory of the project

  3. Copy the generated  *_java.jar from  out/Release/lib.java , excluding the chrome_java.jar and chrome_java_staging.jar, to the lib directory

  4. Copy the libchrome_public.so and libchrome_android_linker.so to the NDK lib directory

@newt: Could you help me on this?

Are you already successfully building the standard ChromePublic.apk, from the command line using gyp and ninja? If not, then I recommend getting this working first to make sure that your base environment is set up correctly.

I don't think anybody on the Chrome team is yet using Android Studio to develop Chrome for Android, and I suspect that getting this working is a significant piece of work; however many of us do use Eclipse; see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/AndroidEclipseDev.

Why don't you want to use Eclipse which is the supported IDE at the moment?

I was unaware of that support. I am trying to setup on Eclipse now

Is it possible to put all that instructions in a setup script, like bazel has[1]?
