This repository contains Android build files and various additional files needed to build your self a version of libcairo and libpixman that you can use on Android devices.

This is for Android applications that are using the NDK for some or all of their work - only the C/C++ headers are present, there are no Java bindings included.

This git repository uses submodules to track the official cairo and pixman repositories, as such you'll need to do a

git clone --recursive git@github.com:anoek/android-cairo.git

to pull down not only the android-cairo source, but also the cairo and pixman source.

The contents of the jni/ directory are meant to be either copied or symlinked into your application's jni/ directory. Once done, you can then include the cairo.mk and pixman.mk files into your own Android.mk file, modify your LOCAL_CFLAGS variable to add include paths for each of the cairo/pixman/cairo-extra/pixman-extra directories, then finally add libcairo and libpixman to your LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES variable.

Once all of that is done, simply run ndk-build to compile everything together to produce your application's .so file.
