[cmake-developers] cmake's built-in support for android using nvidia nsight tegra

[Peter List]

Per Brad's suggestion, I removed this line from my CMakeLists.txt:

add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} SHARED ${SRC_LIST})

And I added these lines:

set(CMAKE_ANDROID_GUI TRUE)
set(CMAKE_ANDROID_API 19) # Kindle Fire HD 6
set(CMAKE_ANDROID_API_MIN 19) # Kindle Fire HD 6
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SRC_LIST})

I am now able to generate a Visual Studio 2010 pemDemos.sln that includes a
pemDemos.vcxproj with a configuration properties section "Ant Built".  From
inside Visual Studio, I'm able to build an APK and then ctrl+F5 to run it
on my device.

Unfortunately, cmake did not generate AndroidManifest.xml, so I had to
supply my own using the aforementioned execute_process() with android.bat.

At this point my app just displays a "Hello World, PemActivity" message
that it gets from "build-android\android\res\layout\main.xml".  So it's not
using "android_native_app_glue.c,h" to point to my "main.cpp" code in
"libpemDemos.so" yet.  So maybe cmake doesn't do that part automatically
for me?  I also don't see a tutorial or simple hello world demo project for
this...  However, I can at least use AndroidNativeApp.vcxproj as a
reference.

thank you & best regards
