Developing for Android on AMD64

by rullzer on Aug.14, 2010, under Gentoo, Hardware, Programming things

The last couple of days I have done some coding for Android. All my resentment towards java is coming back but getting some cool mobile app requires sacrifices! But I do not want to write about java today.

The problem I encountered when installing the Android SDK is that the some of the programs won’t run on non-multilib AMD64 installations. This is really annoying since I do not want to have 32bit libraries on my system (it is matter of principals!). But linux to the rescue! A simple multilib chroot allows me to compile and deploy my android apps!

Mounting (with bind) the source directory allows me to code in my normal env while compiling in the chroot. Which is not a big thing for me since I code in VIM but for IDE users this might be an advantage!

So for all native AMD64 users there is hope! But it would be better for the Android devs to fix the binaries!

    Thanks for your strategies. One thing I’ve got noticed is always that banks along with financial institutions have in mind the spending practices of consumers and also understand that most of the people max out and about their own credit cards around the trips. They smartly take advantage of this fact and then start flooding the inbox plus snail-mail box along with hundreds of 0 APR credit cards offers immediately after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that if you are like 98% of all American public, you’ll hop at the one opportunity to consolidate card debt and transfer balances for 0 APR credit cards.aiyi9527$$$$$
