Fails to compile (java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)
I used to be able to compile this, but recent changes in the Android SDK and NDK are now preventing me from compiling this frustrating port.
When I tried to compile it, I got the following output: `> Configure project :app NDK is missing a "platforms" directory. If you are using NDK, verify the ndk.dir is set to a valid NDK directory. It is currently set to /home/eunha/android-sdk/ndk-bundle. If you are not using NDK, unset the NDK variable from ANDROID_NDK_HOME or local.properties to remove this warning.

I initially thought my Arch Linux install was broken, so I formatted it.
For reference, I am using Android NDK version 21, as well as the Android SDK version installed by the smlinux script by enigma9o7. My OS is Pop!_OS 20.04 (a fork of Ubuntu 20.04).
This is the same issue that I posted about in January ( #46 )
Unfortunately I haven't been able to get this to work either on Manjaro, Ubuntu, Windows or even using the docker file in a Linux environment.
If it is an issue with recent changes to Android SDK, it might be possible to compile with an old version of Android command line tools. It looks like the latest version that came out before the last commit was version 30.0.4 (July 2020). I'm not at my Linux machine at the minute, but if you wanted to download that version and test it out, here's the link: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r30.0.4-linux.zip
Really hoping this works - with the latest version of Android enforcing scoped storage I think this is possibly the only way to get Render96 working on mobile.
No dice. Still getting the same error messsage.
Google is more interested in their social justice propaganda than making a proper working SDK.

And, speaking of scoped storage, I just found out another application I use told me about it too.
Managed to build, but I'm not sure which step fixed it... first set the ANDROID_HOME variable $cd ~/Android/Sdk $export ANDROID_HOME="$(pwd)" Then symlinked the platforms folder into the ndk folders $cd ndk $ln -s ../platforms $cd ../ndk-bundle $ln -s ../platforms
and also purged gradle from ubuntu incase there were some version issues. but i'm unsure if this realy helped $sudo apt purge gradle
although after signing the apk and installing it I didn't notice any improved models or textures but the ex menu was working
I have no idea why that works, but I tried it and it does. Seems to be the symlinks in the ndk folders that have done the trick. Works when using a specific ndk version instead of ndk-bundle as well.
How did you manage to sign the apk? I'm trying to install it at the minute, but every time I get an "app not installed" error.
To sign the apk I used apksigner on termux with the certificate and key from sm64-port-android $ apksigner sign --cert certificate.pem --key key.pk8 ~/storage/shared/app-debug.apk

Sorry for writing here, guys. I really love this game, is probable my favorite, and I wish to be able to play it on an Android tv (nvidia shield).
Is the versión for Android complete and compatible with a gamepad?, I got to last step on Ubuntu using docker instrucciones, but I get the error that appears in this issue when I try to convert Linux versión to Android one, it's supossed there is a way to fix it according to the last comments, but i have no idea what I should do. I don't have any folder like ~\Android\Sdk, and I dont know how to install Ndk, y tried through Android studio looking for sdkmanager with no success. Everybody can contact me on telegram @rand4L I would really appreciate any kind of help. Thanks in advance and sorry for writing here.
The easiest way I have found to compile for android is to compile in termux then sideload it over adb or use a file manager.
The easiest way I have found to compile for android is to compile in termux then sideload it over adb or use a file manager.
But that means I will install some packages through Termux, I'm afraid of keep packages I won't use anymore or uninstall after using them wrongly, or keep the configuration files by mistakes :/
Does it work with gamepad and no controls on display?
It does work.
All you need to do is go to Makefile and set TOUCH_CONTROLS to 0.
The Makefile should look like this:
TOUCH_CONTROLS = 0
I see, I'll keep testing, I did that but all I get so far it's the game with standard graphics even I cloned the ex/nightly branch, and I have problems to configure the gamepad, some keys from the keyboard seems to work, but pretty aleatory, I will keep doing some tests, thank you.
I can only compile android with the standard graphics. I gave up after 3 days of trying
Keep working at it while you still have some drive, if you have any success please post back here. Stick with termux for a portable terminal, if it ever gets too bloated just clear all the data from the package manager and start from fresh. It's great for tinkering with and learning with cli tools, you can even run a full linux distro and use vnc to run a desktop on your android device.
The new commits in master (e5b017dd3421cb2646f853e579c23e4f847389e7 specifically) should fix this without weird workarounds. Please try it!

If it helps, I can say I was able to compile it before you made this change with the following commands after make (I'm using docker by the way):
echo "sdk.dir = ../usr/lib/android-sdk" > local.properties
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/sm64 sm64_android sh -c "cp -r /usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms /usr/lib/android-sdk/ndk-bundle && ./gradlew assembleDebug"
sudo apksigner sign --cert ./app/jni/src/certificate.pem --key ./app/jni/src/key.pk8 ./app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
Now I try just to give you a feedback and I get this error.
$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/sm64 sm64_android sh -c "./gradlew assembleDebug"
