How to use CodeLite as IDE for Android NDK project?

[aaulia]

Or to be more specific SDL Android (NDK) Project. I think this will involve custom makefile project, am I correct? I want to know how to setup CodeLite to handle the NDK side of the project so I can

• Provide code completion from the NDK (not from the system)
• Handle building the project using NDK

So I can goto CodeBlock, build the project and build the Android APK from Eclipse afterward.
Thank you.

I dont see the difference between NDK and any other SDK out there
To get code completion - follow the wiki page here: http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/SettingUpCodeCompletion

Handle building the project using NDK

You will need to provide a concrete example here as my knowledge with NDK is 0

For example, how would you compile it from a command line?

Simply by calling

Code: Select all

ndk-build

In that case, define your project as a custom make file:

next, go to: project settings -> customize

- Check the option that says "enable custom makefile"
- Double click on the "Build" in the list and enter the build command (you can enter complex commands like: cd working-dir && ndk-build )

You can read more about it here (it explains how to use cmake within codelite, the principle remains) :

Ah thanks eranif, it works. Pretty simple.

EDIT: Is there anyway for the project to have the completion search path overwrite the global one, just for that project? I want to use Android NDK g++/clang headers instead of my OS's headers (which might not be compatible). Thanks.

Right click the workspace icon and select 'Workspace settings'
Or on the project level: open the project settings -> code completion

Place your completion paths there instead of the global ones
