Android port (OpenXcom)

Page: Updated forum post link

There is a work-in-progress port to Android of OpenXcom here: [https://github.com/cpages/OpenXcom/tree/android github link]

=I just want to play=
Ok, so if you're too lazy to build it ;) and just want to give it a try, here are the steps you should follow:
* Get the beta3 apk [http://openxcom.org/download/mobile/OpenXcom-v0.9-beta3.apk from here] and install (you'll have to trust me on this, but it only asks for filesystem access)
* Get the [http://openxcom.org/download/mobile/data-9d292a2a82.zip OpenXcom data]. Unzip all of this in your phone under /storage/sdcard0/openxcom (you should have a /sdcard simlink, so /sdcard/openxcom should work too). If you have an external sd card, you can also place it there (/storage/extSdCard/openxcom).
* You also need a copy of the original data (you can get that in many places if you don't have it, like steam). Copy the following folders in the same place (/sdcard/openxcom/data): GEODATA GEOGRAPH MAPS ROUTES SOUND TERRAIN UFOGRAPH UFOINTRO UNITS

=Building from sources (linux)=
So you're in for the hard route. It's been a while since I set up my build env so I might miss some detail, but I'll try to give an overview of how to build and point out the main caveats you may encounter:
* Install android sdk & ndk
* Check out the android branch from my github clone mentioned above
* Put all the dependencies sources in the jni folder. Simlinks come in really handy, mine ended up looking like this:

* SDL version used is written in the changelog below
* Notice that it's SDL_gfx, not SDL2_gfx. Also, you need to apply [http://sourceforge.net/p/sdlgfx/code/102/tree/Other%20Builds/SDL_gfx-SDL2.patch this patch] (only present in svn, not latest tarball) for it to compile against SDL2.
* Go to android folder and run 'ndk-build' and 'ant debug' (for release you need to setup a key)
* If you have your android device plugged in, 'ant debug install'

=Differences with PC version (battlescape)=
* Path preview is enabled by default
* Shoot works in the same way as path preview, first press to aim, second to shoot
* Phone back button acts as right button (quits shooting mode, for instance)
* Swipe map to scroll
* Swipe from selected soldier to make him turn and open doors

=Known issues=
* Don't leave the game while in text enter mode. When going back, it won't reappear and you'll be stuck editing the text.
* On a few devices, the colors appear wrong (shades of pink). It can be worked around by disabling the 'hardware overlay' in 'developer settings'

=Changelog=
* beta3 (13/05/14)
** Update to upstream 9d292a2a82
** Update SDL2 to 8767
** OGG music is no longer needed (thanks to upstream)
** Music no longer plays when entering background
** Fixed turning on change soldier bug
** Swiping map to scroll doesn't update destination position
* beta2(r1) (21/02/14)
** Update to upstream 0d04dcc
** Update SDL2 to 8225
** Exiting the app now works (thanks to SDL update)
** Fixes #460 (exit units stats page with back button)
* beta1
