Android Studio Project Configuration
The Android port of Ladybird has straightforward integration with the Android Studio IDE.
Prerequisites
Ensure that your system has the following tools available:
- Android Studio Jellyfish 2023.3.1 or later
- CMake 3.23 or higher as the default CMake executable
- 20G or more storage space for SDKs + Emulator images + Gradle dependencies + build artifacts
Opening the project
After opening the ladybird directory in Android Studio (NOT the Ladybird/Android directory!)
there should be a pop-up in the bottom left indicating that an Android Gradle project was detected
in Ladybird/Android.
In the top left of the screen in the Project view, navigate to Ladybird/Android. Or, click the
highlighted text in the notification for that path. Open the settings.gradle.kts file. At the
top of the file should be a banner that says Code Insight unavailable (related Gradle project not linked). Click the Link Gradle project text on the right side of the banner. After the IDE
loads the Gradle view to the right of the code window, go back to the banner at the top of the
settings.gradle.kts file and click Load Script Configurations to finish loading the Gradle
project.
Gradle will index the project, and download all the required plugins. If it complains about no NDK,
follow the instructions in Android Studio to install an appropriate NDK version. If it still
complains about the NDK version, open File->Invalidate Caches... and click Invalidate and Restart.
Getting the most out of the IDE
See the sections in the CLionConfiguration for Excluding Build Artifacts, and Code Generation Settings.
