 When you need to rebuild the native code, run this from retroarch/android/native:
 ```bash
 ndk-build APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a mips x86" APP_PLATFORM=android-17
 cp -R -f libs/* ../phoenix/libs
 ```
 
+## Building the .apk
+You can choose to use the Eclipse gui or the command line tool `ant`
+### Building with ant
+From the android/phoenix directory in the RetroArch repo:
+```bash
+android update project --path libs/googleplay/
+android update project --path libs/appcompat/
+```
+Now edit local.properties to point to the location of your ndk directory by adding a line like this: `ndk.dir=/complete/path/to/android-ndk-r9d`
+```bash
+ant clean
+ant debug
+```
+If all goes well this will spit out an .apk, `bin/retroarch-debug.apk`. Put it on your device with
+```bash
+adb -d install bin/retroarch-debug.apk
+```
+
+### Building with eclipse
 In Eclipse, set your workspace root to .../RetroArch/android. Then do "Import... - General - Existing Projects into Workspace" to get the native and phoenix projects in your workspace. I also copied the project.properties from phoenix to native, and created a src directory in native, to stop Eclipse from complaining, but that may just be because I'm using a really old version.
 
 Then, when you want to deploy to your device (make sure USB debugging is enabled) right-click on the phoenix project and select "Run As - Android Application" or use Debug to attach the debugger. When the native libs change I will tend to Clean before doing Run, to make sure the libs were repackaged in the apk. Google for more info about running and debugging Android apps in Eclipse.
