Getting started with JUCE for Android


I need to start building an Android app that uses the JUCE libraries. I'm reading the web site and trying to figure stuff out.

I tried installing JUCE on an Ubuntu 11.04 system, and when I built the IntroJucer app, the menus don't work right (they flash open when I click with the mouse but then disappear). Can a JUCE app for Android be built on Mac OS X, or even Windows?

If you are using JUCE to build Android apps, please give me any advice you can.


Solution

  • Yes, a Juce app can be written for Android using either OS X (XCode 4) or Windows (Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and higher). You also have the option of using the Eclipse IDE on either platform.

    At the time you posted, Juce was undergoing a major overhaul and the IntroJucer might not have been as stable as it needed to be, especially on systems other than OS X or Windows. You should look into it again. IntroJucer is not required to build a Juce Application (although it can make things easier).

    I suggest you first build the Juce Demo application for your platform. If Ubuntu is giving you trouble, try OS X or Windows first. Once you have the Juce Demo running you can move on to IntroJucer. If that works, then try compiling Juce Demo for Android. Your questions can be answered in the Android Juce Forum:
