Current status : ALPHA

• Minimum Android 5.0 (api level 21)
• Modal dialogs can appear in background giving the feeling that the application is frozen (Work around : turn screen off/on or switch to another app and back)

Build using Docker

Base environnement

    cd monero/utils/build_scripts
    docker build -f android32.Dockerfile -t monero-android .
    cd ..

Build GUI

    cd android/docker
    docker build -t monero-gui-android .
    docker create -it --name monero-gui-android monero-gui-android bash

Get the apk

    docker cp monero-gui-android:/opt/android/monero-gui/build/release/bin/bin/QtApp-debug.apk .

Deployment

• Using ADB (Android debugger bridge) :

  First, see section Enable adb debugging on your device The only place where we are allowed to play is /data/local/tmp. So :

    adb  push /opt/android/monero-gui/build/release/bin/bin/QtApp-debug.apk /data/local/tmp
    adb  shell pm install -r /data/local/tmp/QtApp-debug.apk
  

  • Troubleshooting:

    adb devices -l
    adb logcat
    

    if using adb inside docker, make sure you did "docker run -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb --privileged"

• Using a web server

    mkdir /usr/tmp
    cp QtApp-debug.apk /usr/tmp
    docker run -d -v /usr/tmp:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 8080:80 nginx
  

  Now it should be accessible through a web browser at

    http://<your.local.ip>:8080/QtApp-debug.apk
