# - Based on https://github.com/nonameentername/python-android modified for my needs
# - Tested on Ubuntu 11.04-i386 with Android NDK-6b and NDK-7c, gcc/g++ 4.4 and gcc/g++ 4.5




# 1) Host machine dev env config if needed (package list for 32bit host, package names for 64bit may change)
# check installed package on host machine with: zcat -f /var/log/dpkg.log* | grep "\ install\ " | sort

# 2) build python 2.7.2 for Android


export NDK="/home/tony/Desktop/xcross/android-ndk-r7c"
export SDK="/home/tony/Desktop/xcross/android-sdk-linux_x86/"
export NDKPLATFORM="$NDK/platforms/android-9/arch-arm"
export PATH="$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/:$NDK:$SDK/tools:$PATH"


bash bootstrap.sh && build_py.sh 
Then navigate to the jni/python folder and uncomment all the commented lines in the Android.mk file
bash build_py.sh && package.sh


////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////SIP and PYQT///////////////////////////////
1) Download Necessitas installer and set install location to /opt/necessitas/
2) Open Makefiles in both PyQt4 and sip folders and manually change all the paths that include (/home/tsheasha/......) to the corresponding path.
[This will be fixed soon to be done automatically by running a shell file]
3) Navigate to sip folder from terminal and enter commands : (a) make -j6  (b) make install
4) Navigate to PyQt4 folder from terminal and enter commands : (a) make -j6  (b) make install
5) bash package_pyqt.sh
6) Using the zipped folder output from the previous operation and packing your python project ina zipped folder as well named: "my_python_project.zip", you can run your applicaiton on Android phones using the a project, which is a joint product of this project apk and the Necessitas project. This project is provided in the directory PyDroid.
7)All you need to do is place your zipped folders in the res/raw direstory of this project, update the python library paths on the .pro file and just run using the Necessitas QtCreator. A sample application is provided in the downloaded project.
