xi-android

An Android frontend for the Xi text editor.

Note: this is based on an old version of Xi. Development started on Dec. 27, 2016 so in order to build the current version you'll want to checkout Xi/syntect versions from around that time.

Build and run

1. Set up rustc for cross-compiling on Android, and build xi-core and syntect for Android with cargo, e.g. cargo build --target i686-linux-android for x86 Android
2. Put the resulting .so files inside the jniLibs folder app/src/main/jniLibs/<target_arch>/, target_arch is e.g. x86 or armeabi–you should have lib_xi-core_.so and lib_xi-syntect-plugin_.so (syntax highlighting library).
3. Build the project normally with Android Studio
