MEGA Android Client

A fully-featured client to access your Cloud Storage provided by MEGA.

This document will guide you to build the application on a Linux machine with Android Studio.

Setup development environment

• Android Studio

• Android SDK Tools

• Android NDK

Build & Run the application

1. Get the source code.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/meganz/android.git

2. Install in your system the Android NDK 14 and Android NDK 16.

3. Configure the variable NDK_ROOT32 to point to your Android NDK 14 installation path and the variable NDK_ROOT64 to point to your Android NDK 16 installation path at app/src/main/jni/build.sh.

4. Download the link https://mega.nz/#!wixgSaZZ!6zRMV_d8ogouBaEidHzGws1KvLrBwBiKEm0VIVgXEPk, uncompress it and put the folder webrtc in the path app/src/main/jni/megachat/.

5. Before running the building script, install the required packages. For example for Ubuntu or other Debian-based distro:

sudo apt install build-essential swig automake libtool autoconf cmake

6. Build SDK by running ./build.sh all at app/src/main/jni/. You could also run ./build.sh clean to clean the previous configuration. IMPORTANT: check that the build process finished successfully, it should finish with the Task finished OK message. Otherwise, modify LOG_FILE variable in build.sh from /dev/null to a certain text file and run ./build.sh all again for viewing the build errors.

7. Download the link https://mega.nz/#!1tcl3CrL!i23zkmx7ibnYy34HQdsOOFAPOqQuTo1-2iZ5qFlU7-k, uncompress it and put the folders debug and release in the path app/src/.

8. Open the project with Android Studio, let it build the project and hit Run.

Notice

To use the geolocation feature you need a Google Maps API key:

1. To get one, follow the directions here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/signup.

2. Once you have your key, replace the "google_maps_key" string in these files: app/src/debug/res/values/google_maps_api.xml and app/src/release/res/values/google_maps_api.xml.
