First, ensure your Android device is configured to allow installation
|
|
|
|
|
of the app. Go to Setup -> Security, and enable "Unknown Sources".

## building it yourself

|
|
|
git-annex can be built from source for Android.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Run `standalone/android/buildchroot` as root (requires debootstrap).
|
|
|
|
|
This builds a chroot with an `androidbuilder` user.
|
|
|
|
|
The rest of the build will run in this chroot as that user.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Then run `standalone/android/install-haskell-packages`
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this will break from time to time as new versions of packages
|
|
|
|
|
are released, and the patches it applies have to be updated when
|
|
|
|
|
this happens.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Finally, once the chroot is set up, you can build an Android binary
|
|
|
|
|
with `make android`, and `make androidapp` will build the complete APK.
