-Google Breakpad for Android
-===========================
-
-This document explains how to use the Google Breakpad client library
-on Android, and later generate valid stack traces from the minidumps
-it generates.
-
-This release supports ARM, x86 and MIPS based Android systems.
-This release requires NDK release r11c or higher.
-
-I. Building the client library:
-===============================
-
-The Android client is built as a static library that you can
-link into your own Android native code. There are two ways to
-build it:
-
-I.1. Building with ndk-build:
------------------------------
-
-If you're using the ndk-build build system, you can follow
-these simple steps:
-
- 1/ Include android/google_breakpad/Android.mk from your own
- project's Android.mk
-
- This can be done either directly, or using ndk-build's
- import-module feature.
-
- 2/ Link the library to one of your modules by using:
-
- LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES += breakpad_client
-
-NOTE: The client library requires a C++ STL implementation,
- which you can select with APP_STL in your Application.mk
-
- It has been tested succesfully with both STLport and GNU libstdc++
-
-
-I.2. Building with a standalone Android toolchain:
---------------------------------------------------
-
-All you need to do is configure your build with the right 'host'
-value, and disable the processor and tools, as in:
-
- $GOOGLE_BREAKPAD_PATH/configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi \
- --disable-processor \
- --disable-tools
- make -j4
-
-The library will be under src/client/linux/libbreakpad_client.a
-
-You can also use 'make check' to run the test suite on a connected
-Android device. This requires the Android 'adb' tool to be in your
-path.
-
-II. Using the client library in Android:
-========================================
-
-The usage instructions are very similar to the Linux ones that are
-found at https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad/+/master/docs/linux_starter_guide.md
-
-1/ You need to include "client/linux/handler/exception_handler.h" from a C++
- source file.
-
-2/ If you're not using ndk-build, you also need to:
-
- - add the following to your compiler include search paths:
- $GOOGLE_BREAKPAD_PATH/src
- $GOOGLE_BREAKPAD_PATH/src/common/android/include
-
- - add -llog to your linker flags
-
- Note that ndk-build does that for your automatically.
-
-3/ Keep in mind that there is no /tmp directory on Android.
-
- If you use the library from a regular Android applications, specify a
- path under your app-specific storage directory. An alternative is to
- store them on the SDCard, but this requires a specific permission.
-
-For a concrete example, see the sample test application under
-android/sample_app. See its README for more information.
-
-
-III. Getting a stack trace on the host:
-=======================================
-
-This process is similar to other platforms, but here's a quick example:
-
-1/ Retrieve the minidumps on your development machine.
-
-2/ Dump the symbols for your native libraries with the 'dump_syms' tool.
- This first requires building the host version of Google Breakpad, then
- calling:
-
- dump_syms $PROJECT_PATH/obj/local/$ABI/libfoo.so > libfoo.so.sym
-
-3/ Create the symbol directory hierarchy.
-
- The first line of the generated libfoo.so.sym will have a "MODULE"
- entry that carries a hexadecimal version number, e.g.:
-
- MODULE Linux arm D51B4A5504974FA6ECC1869CAEE3603B0 test_google_breakpad
-
- Note: The second field could be either 'Linux' or 'Android'.
-
- Extract the version number, and a 'symbol' directory, for example:
-
- $PROJECT_PATH/symbols/libfoo.so/$VERSION/
-
- Copy/Move your libfoo.sym file there.
-
-4/ Invoke minidump_stackwalk to create the stack trace:
-
- minidump_stackwalk $MINIDUMP_FILE $PROJECT_PATH/symbols
-
-Note that various helper scripts can be found on the web to automate these
-steps.
-
-IV. Verifying the Android build library:
-========================================
-
-If you modify Google Breakpad and want to check that it still works correctly
-on Android, please run the android/run-checks.sh script which will do all
-necessary verifications for you. This includes:
-
- - Rebuilding the full host binaries.
- - Rebuilding the full Android binaries with configure/make.
- - Rebuilding the client library unit tests, and running them on a device.
- - Rebuilding the client library with ndk-build.
- - Building, installing and running a test crasher program on a device.
- - Extracting the corresponding minidump, dumping the test program symbols
- and generating a stack trace.
- - Checking the generated stack trace for valid source locations.
-
-For more details, please run:
-
- android/run-checks.sh --help-all
