To work with and build Orion Viewer project you will need next tools installed:

• Android Studio 2023.1+ integrated development environment
• git tool to work with source repository
• make tool and python 3 compiler for building mupdf library

1. Checkout repository sources via git:

   git clone https://github.com/max-kammerer/orion-viewer.git
   or if you have configured ssh access
   git clone [email protected]:max-kammerer/orion-viewer.git

2. Setup native libraries (mupdf, djvu) via next command:

   ./gradlew -b thirdparty_build.gradle downloadDjvu downloadAndMakeMupdf

   Build scripts for them are defined in externalNativeBuild section in gradle build files (for details see djvuModule/build.gradle and mupdfModule/build.gradle files). Native libs are checked out into nativeLibs/djvu and nativeLibs/mupdf folders.

3. Open project in Android Studio (AS): Main Menu/File/Open... and select project folder to open.

4. Now you can build project within AS and run it in Android emulator

You can also build Android 'apk' artifacts via next command:

./gradlew :orion-viewer:assembleDebug (or assembleRelease)

It will generate apk artifacts suitable for Android 4.1+ devices.

For Android 4.0.x devices use next build commands (it also requires android-ndk 17):

./gradlew :nativeLibs:djvuModule:clean :nativeLibs:mupdfModule:clean
./gradlew :orion-viewer:assembleDebug -Porion.build.android40=true

Pre 0.80 versions are compatible with Android 2.1+ devices

In case of getting error about absent libtinfo.so.5, please install ncurses lib (libncurses5).
