## 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.
