Building the LibVLC Android SDK yourself

To build a fresh version of the LibVLC Android SDK please make sure that you have setup your machine correctly (You can ignore the steps after and including 'Building'): https://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile

Afterwards simply run this Gradle command: ./gradlew buildLibVlc

The VLC-Android and the VLC repo will now get pulled if they haven't been previously. After that's done the compilation process for the ABIs armeabi-v7a, x86 and armeabi gets started. Finally the resulting .java files will be copied over into the src/main/java folder of this project. The resulting .so files will be copied into src/main/jniLibs.

Building a specific version of the LibVLC Android SDK

If you want to build a specific version (maybe you want a major stable release) you have to checkout the vlc-android git repository at the corresponding commit:

cd vlc-android          // if this folder doesn't exist yet, simply run ./gradlew cloneVlcAndroid
git tag                 // to list all release versions
git checkout {tag-name} // to checkout the git repo at the given tag
cd ..
./gradlew buildLibVlc   // build it
