android.sh

android.sh builds FFmpeg and MobileFFmpeg for Android platform.

By default five Android ABIs (armeabi-v7a, armeabi-v7a-neon, arm64-v8a, x86 and x86_64) are built without any external libraries enabled. When compilation ends an Android Archive (AAR) file is created with enabled platforms inside. Please note that GPL libraries (external libraries with GPL license) need --enable-gpl flag to be set explicitly.

Options can be used to disable ABIs and/or enable external libraries.

Example Usage

1. Default build

android.sh is called without any options. FFmpeg is built for all five platforms without any external library support.

2. Full build

android.sh is called with --full option. FFmpeg is built for all five platforms with all external libraries enabled. Libraries with GPL license are not included in this option.

3. Custom build

android.sh is called with a series of --enable-*, --disable-*, --reconf-* and --rebuild-* options. Options define which platforms and libraries will be built, which libraries will be reconfigured or rebuilt.
