Build mupdf for android

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I want to make some changes in the source code of the MuPDF library. So I cant build my own app on the base of MuPDF viewers, such as mupdf-android-viewer. This way I cant modify low level codes.

I've cloned MuPDF from https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/mupdf

I think now I should change some source files, and then compile or build it in a way that it could be used in Android Studio. For example building jar file.

I've really stuck in this. Please help.

What I have tried:

I've found no step by step tutorial to do this:

- Some of them refers to mupdf/platform/android/viewer folder. But this folder is not available in new versions of MuPDF source file.

- Some of them says that I should use ndk-build command and use generated files. It's possible, but what should I do after ndk-build? Should I use .so files? And how?

- Some of them uses MS Visual Studio to build mupdf/platform/win32/mupdf.sln project. But I think the output is not usable in Android Studio.

In this link I think I should refer to this part: "5.Working on the MuPDF SDK". It just said that "you will need to check out the following git repositories". But It doesn't mentioned how could I modify the source and then compile it to jar file for example.

That is the part you need to work out for yourself. Or contact the person who wrote the code.
