The Android port of Ladybird has straightforward integration with the Android Studio IDE.
Ensure that your system has the following tools available:
- Android Studio Jellyfish 2023.3.1 or later
- CMake 3.23 or higher as the default CMake executable
- 20G or more storage space for SDKs + Emulator images + Gradle dependencies + build artifacts
After opening the ladybird
directory in Android Studio (NOT the UI/Android directory!)
there should be a pop-up in the bottom left indicating that an Android Gradle project was detected
in UI/Android
.
In the top left of the screen in the Project view, navigate to UI/Android
. Or, click the
highlighted text in the notification for that path. Open the settings.gradle.kts
file. At the
top of the file should be a banner that says Code Insight unavailable (related Gradle project not linked).
Click the Link Gradle project
text on the right side of the banner. After the IDE
loads the Gradle view to the right of the code window, go back to the banner at the top of the
settings.gradle.kts
file and click Load Script Configurations
to finish loading the Gradle
project.
Gradle will index the project, and download all the required plugins. If it complains about no NDK,
follow the instructions in Android Studio to install an appropriate NDK version. If it still
complains about the NDK version, open File->Invalidate Caches...
and click Invalidate and Restart
.
See the sections in the CLionConfiguration for Excluding Build Artifacts, and Code Generation Settings.
