Android project

Anacode does not build or run standalone JAVA applications. It is capable of building an Android project that has the proper folder structure (Eclipse style). You can create a new empty Android project by picking the "New" option from the menu and choosing "Android" in the "Pick file type" dialog. Please use only Latin alphabet letters for the folder name, package name and the project name.

To be able to build an Android project not created using Anacode, the project must have the Eclipse project folder structure, which is as follows:

/ProjectRoot

/assets		folder that contains all the assets used in the application
/libs		folder that contains all external JAVA libraries (*.jar) and native libraries (*.so)
/res		folder that contains all resources used in the application
/src		folder that contains all packages and JAVA source files

To build and install an Android application follow these steps:

• Open any java source file or xml layout file that's part of the project
• Pick the "Run" option from the menu

Anacode will build the project and create an APK. You will be asked whether you want to install the build APK after the build is finished. If you encounter problems during the build, try cleaning the project by deleting the content of the bin folder.

To build a native activity project, please build the native library first by openning the Makefile and hitting run from the menu. In case your Makefile doesn't automatically copy the build library into the appropriate libs folder you have to do so manually prior to the creation of the projects APK.

Java project

To compile java project, just open any source file from the project and hit Run. After the compilation, you will be asked to provide arguments the program should be run with. The program arguments can be changed at any time in the Exec settings menu.

As for projects that where not created by Anacode IDE, the project folder structure must be the one of Eclipse IDE:

/ProjectRoot

/libs	folder that contains all external JAVA libraries (*.jar)
/src	folder that contains all packages and JAVA source files
/ProjectManifest.xml	the project manifest file

The ProjectManifest.xml file must contain the following informations:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest>
<application appname="full package name of the main program class(e.g. com.samples.ReadFile)" ></application>
</manifest>

C/C++

Single C/C++ file

To compile a single C/C++ source file to an executable simply tap on the Run menu item. After the compilation is successfull the result executable will be run. If you would like to change the arguments the program should be run with please navigate to the Exec Settings menu and fill out the name of the executable and run arguments. Exec settings are stored once per folder, therefore please use different folders for different C/C++ projects, otherwise Anacode will always run the last build program.

Makefile file

Building sources using a Makefile is just as simple as building a single source file. Just open the Makefile and hit Run in the menu. After the successful build a dialog popes up asking you to provide the name of the build executable and the arguments to run it with. You can also pick the build target to be a library in which case the build target won't be executed. As for the Exec Settings of the Makefile, the same rules apply as for the single C/C++ file compilation. Settings are stored on a per folder basis, therefore please use separate folder for each project.

The execution settings dialog:

To change the exection settings, please navigate to the Exec settings item in the menu.
