MiniApp is the basis for creating your first C++ application for Android!.

miniapp was inspired by the RawdrawAndroid project, but serves as a further development of Android apps.

NOTE for ADVENTURERS: This is the basic part that allows you to run 'Hello World' on ImGui. Don't be afraid to write in the 'Issue', I will help you in any way I can.

Work has begun on updating the repository [28.09.2023]

Features

• NO Java & Kotlin !!!
• Special for: Android
• Written in C/C++
• Hardware accelerated with OpenGL (ES 3.0)
• Visual Studio 2022
• ImGui v1.89.4
• Icons for your app
• Calling the keyboard from JNI (coming soon)
• Free and open source.

Build

We need:

• Visual Studio 2022 or later
  • Mobile Development with C++
    • Android NDK (I used 25.1.8937393)
    • OpenJDK
    • C++ Android development tools
    • ~~Apache Ant~~ (it was cut out by the developers VS 2022)
    • Android SDK (Use Android Studio for downloading)
• Android Emulaltor: VS emulator is slow. Better use your phone. Or use emulator like Nox (5.x,7.x), leapdroid (4.x).
• Logcat: For convenient logging of Android (logcat in VS), I advise you to install this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=LancelotChen.AndroidLogcatOutput

Open miniapp.sln with Visual Studio 2022

Next, you need to change all the paths and configure everything for yourself: VS 2022 (project properties, paths to build-cmd.bat, paths for IntelliSense), Android.mk , Application.mk , buildAPK.bat, AndroidManifest.

BE CAREFUL WHEN CHANGING PATHS

Note: When configuring paths for IntelliSense, depending on the NDK version, the paths to 'include' may differ

How do I change the icons?

Make png icon in size 192x192 used Photoshop, Paint and other.
Load you icon in https://easyappicon.com/ and selected adaptive icon
You get zip archive and in folder Android there will be folders with icons.

Special thanks
