About

Graphics is an Android binding for the gfx¹ library. It started as a replacement for the android.graphics.Movie² and has similar API, but tries to address certian issues the GIF decoder used by skia has.

Requirements

Graphics needs gfx, obviously, but also jini³ for the C++ JNI bindings. For building an Android library, you’ll need Android developement environment. This includes:

1. Android SDK
2. Android NDK
3. One of:
   • Eclipse with ADT, or
   • Maven

Building

For succesfull build, you’ll need working environment, as described on Android pages.

First make a common directory for the repos:

$ mkdir Graphics
$ cd Graphics

Clone the repositories:

$ git clone git://github.com/mbits-os/jini.git
$ git clone git://github.com/mbits-os/gfx.git
$ git clone git://github.com/mbits-os/graphics.git
