# Vcpkg: export Android prefab Archives (AAR files)
|
|
|
|
**Note: this is the feature as it was initially specified and does not necessarily reflect the current behavior.**
|
|
|
|
Vcpkg can export android archives ([AAR files](https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/android-library)). Once an archive is created, it can imported in Android Studio as a native dependent. The archive is automatically consumed using [android studio's prefab tool](https://github.com/google/prefab).
|
|
|
|
For more information on Prefab, refer to:
|
|
* The [official prefab documentation](https://google.github.io/prefab).
|
|
* a blog post from Android developers blog: [Native Dependencies in Android Studio 4.0](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/02/native-dependencies-in-android-studio-40.html)
|
|
|
|
_Note for Android Studio users: prefab packages are supported on Android Studio 4+_
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
1. `ndk <required>`
|
|
|
|
Set environment variable `ANDROID_NDK_HOME` to your android ndk installation. For example:
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/home/your-account/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
2. `7zip <required on windows>` or `zip <required on linux>`
|
|
|
|
3. `maven <optional>`
|
|
|
|
4. Android triplets
|
|
|
|
See [android.md](../users/android.md) for instructions on how to install the triplets.
|
|
|
|
*Please note that in order to use "prefab" (see below), the four architectures are required. If any is missing the export will fail*
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example exporting [jsoncpp]
|
|
|
|
First "vcpkg install" the 4 android architectures (it is mandatory to export all 4 of them)
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
./vcpkg install jsoncpp:arm-android jsoncpp:arm64-android jsoncpp:x64-android jsoncpp:x86-android
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, export the prefab:
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
* The `--prefab-maven` flag is optional. Call it if you maven is installed.
|
|
* The `--prefab-debug` flag will output instructions on how to use the prefab archive via gradle.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./vcpkg export --triplet x64-android jsoncpp --prefab --prefab-maven --prefab-debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will see an output like this:
|
|
```
|
|
The following packages are already built and will be exported:
|
|
jsoncpp:arm64-android
|
|
