Which Android Port should you use?

There are two ports of Orx on Android that are available for developers:

• Native
• Non-Native

Native does not refer to the use of the NDK and C++ code. In that sense, both of the ports are native.

Native refers to NativeActivity, how the draw surface is laid out.

The differences are:

• You cannot install your own custom layout
• No support for banner ads
• Cannot use the virtual keyboard

• You can install your own custom layout
• Support for banner ads
• Can use the virtual keyboard

In the Orx project file tree, there are both Android and Android-Native versions of:

1. The Orx Library for Android orx/code/build/android and orx/code/build/android-native
2. The Android demo: orx/code/demo/android and orx/code/demo/android-native

For any instructions regarding building the android or android demo, if you want to build the android-native version, just substitute: android for android-native. The method to set up either is the same.
