Building for Android¶

Doriax can target Android for your exported game projects. The runtime supports Android with an OpenGL ES 3 backend through the Android Native Activity path.

Requirements¶

• Android Studio with the Android SDK and NDK
• Java 17 or newer for Gradle builds
• A configured Android device or emulator for testing

Workflow¶

1. Install Android Studio and ensure the SDK and NDK are installed via the SDK Manager.
2. Make sure the ANDROID_HOME (SDK) and NDK paths are available to your environment.
3. Export your project from the Doriax editor with Android selected.
4. Open the generated Android workspace in Android Studio, then build and run on a device or emulator.

Command-line build¶

The engine repository contains an Android Studio workspace template under engine/workspaces/androidstudio/. Exported projects use the same runtime path.

cd engine/workspaces/androidstudio
./gradlew assembleDebug

Android builds link the Android log, EGL/OpenGL ES, OpenSL ES, Game Activity, and Game Frame Pacing libraries.
