Which Android Port should you use?
This document needs to be checked for correctness.
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:
Native
- You cannot install your own custom layout
- No support for banner ads
- Cannot use the virtual keyboard
Non-Native
- 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:
- The Orx Library for Android
orx/code/build/androidandorx/code/build/android-native - The Android demo:
orx/code/demo/androidandorx/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.
