[NDK]
[SDK]

Set root directory

export KODI_ROOT=$HOME/dev

Unzip software

mkdir -p $KODI_ROOT/android-tools/android-sdk-linux
unzip $KODI_ROOT/Downloads/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip -d $KODI_ROOT/android-tools/android-sdk-linux
unzip $KODI_ROOT/Downloads/android-ndk-r18b-linux-x86_64.zip -d $KODI_ROOT/android-tools

Accept Licenses

cd $KODI_ROOT/android-tools/android-sdk-linux/tools/bin
./sdkmanager --licenses
./sdkmanager platform-tools
./sdkmanager "platforms;android-26"
./sdkmanager "build-tools;25.0.3"

Change to Android NDK tools directory

cd $KODI_ROOT/android-tools/android-ndk-r18b/build/tools

Set up toolchain

./make-standalone-toolchain.sh --install-dir=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/arm-linux-androideabi-vanilla/android-21 --platform=android-21 --toolchain=arm-linux-androideabi

Create a key to sign

keytool -genkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -v -alias androiddebugkey -dname "CN=Android Debug,O=Android,C=US" -keypass android -storepass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Clone Kodi's current master branch

cd $KODI_ROOT
git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc kodi

Prepare to configure build

cd $KODI_ROOT/kodi/tools/depends
./bootstrap

Configure build for arm Kodi 17

./configure --with-tarballs=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/xbmc-tarballs --with-ndk-api=24 --host=arm-linux-androideabi --with-sdk=android-26  --with-sdk-path=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/android-sdk-linux --with-ndk=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/android-ndk-r18b --with-toolchain=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/arm-linux-androideabi-vanilla/android-24 --prefix=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/xbmc-depends

Configure build for arm Kodi 18

./configure --with-tarballs=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/xbmc-tarballs --with-ndk-api=24 --host=arm-linux-androideabi --with-sdk-path=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/android-sdk-linux --with-ndk-path=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/android-ndk-r18b --with-toolchain=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/arm-linux-androideabi-vanilla/android-24 --prefix=$KODI_ROOT/android-tools/xbmc-depends
