About

The sub-project aims to automatically bundle pre-built sentry-native binaries together with a Java JNI layer into an Android friendly .aar package.

The .aar package also provides prefab support, giving you the possibility to consume the native sentry.h APIs from your native app code.

If you're using the Sentry Android SDK, this package is included by default already.

Besides the main package in ndk/lib, a simple Android app for for testing purposes is provided in the ndk/sample folder.

Building and Installation

The ndk project uses the Gradle build system in combination with CMake. You can either use a suitable IDE (e.g. Android Studio) or the command line to build it.

Testing and consuming a local package version

1. Set a custom versionName in the ndk/gradle.properties file

2. Publish the package locally

   cd ndk
   ./gradlew :sentry-native-ndk:publishToMavenLocal

3. Consume the build in your app

   // usually settings.gradle
   allprojects {
     repositories {
       mavenLocal()
     }
   }
   
   // usually app/build.gradle
   android {
       buildFeatures {
           prefab = true
       }
   }
   
   dependencies {
        implementation("io.sentry:sentry-native-ndk:<version>")
   }
   

4. Link the pre-built packages with your native code

   # usually app/CMakeLists.txt
   
   find_package(sentry-native-ndk REQUIRED CONFIG)
   
   target_link_libraries(<app> PRIVATE
       ${LOG_LIB}
       sentry-native-ndk::sentry-android
       sentry-native-ndk::sentry
   )
