Building the sample app for Android using an Android tree: Copy this folder into an Android tree in packages/apps. In addition to jni, res, and src, there needs to be a fourth folder named "skia_extra". This will include the skia files which are not part of an Android checkout. It should have three folders: include, samplecode, and src. skia/trunk/include/views -> skia_extra/include/views skia/trunk/include/xml -> skia_extra/include/xml skia/trunk/samplecode -> skia_extra/samplecode skia/trunk/src/views -> skia_extra/src/views skia/trunk/src/ports/SkXMLParser_empty.cpp -> skia_extra/src/ports/ skia/trunk/src/xml -> skia_extra/src/xml skia/trunk/include/utils/android/AndroidKeyToSkKey.h -> jni/ From packages/apps/SampleApp, type "mm" to build, and install the resulting apk. (It may be necessary to remove samples that do not build from skia_extra/samplecode/samplecode_files.mk) TODO: Instructions for building from SDK/NDK
