------- -------
Note: building on Android is very experimental and not guaranteed to work. Although it's possible to build Panda3D on an Android device itself using the
[termux](https://termux.com/) shell, the recommended route is to cross-compile
.whl files using the SDK and NDK, which can then be used by the `build_apps`
command to build a Python application into an .apk or .aab bundle. You will
need to get the latest thirdparty packages, which can be obtained from the
artifacts page of the last successful run here:
You can experimentally build the Android Python runner via the [termux](https://termux.com/) https://github.com/rdb/panda3d-thirdparty/actions?query=branch%3Amain+is%3Asuccess+event%3Apush
shell. You will need to install [Termux](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux)
and [Termux API](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux.api) This does not include Python at the moment, which can be extracted from
from the Play Store. Many of the dependencies can be installed by running the [this archive](https://rdb.name/thirdparty-android.tar.gz) instead.
following command in the Termux shell:
These commands show how to compile wheels for the supported Android ABIs:
```bash ```bash
pkg install python ndk-sysroot clang bison freetype harfbuzz libpng eigen openal-soft opusfile libvorbis assimp libopus ecj dx patchelf aapt apksigner libcrypt openssl pkg-config export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/home/rdb/local/android
python3.8 makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --outputdir built-droid-arm64 --arch arm64 --target android-21 --threads 6 --wheel
python3.8 makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --outputdir built-droid-armv7a --arch armv7a --target android-19 --threads 6 --wheel
python3.8 makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --outputdir built-droid-x86_64 --arch x86_64 --target android-21 --threads 6 --wheel
python3.8 makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --outputdir built-droid-x86 --arch x86 --target android-19 --threads 6 --wheel
``` ```
Then, you can build the .apk using this command: It is now possible to use the generated wheels with `build_apps`, as explained
on this page:
```bash https://discourse.panda3d.org/t/deployment-for-android/28226
python makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --target android-21 --no-tiff --installer
```
You can install the generated panda3d.apk by browsing to the panda3d folder
using a file manager. You may need to copy it to `/sdcard` to be able to
access it from other apps.
To launch a Python program from Termux, you can use the `run_python.sh` script
inside the `panda/src/android` directory. It will launch Python in a separate
activity, load it with the Python script you passed as argument, and use a
socket for returning the command-line output to the Termux shell. Do note
that this requires the Python application to reside on the SD card and that
Termux needs to be set up with access to the SD card (using the
`termux-setup-storage` command).
