Use top-level ring for daemon

Reuse the submodule synchronization now that we have it.

Remove the need to git fetch when you already have the daemon,
so it works even if you have no network.

Ring Android

This repository is meant for the porting of Ring to Android.

Environment

Clone this as a submodule of: https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com/#/admin/projects/ring-project to obtain the required Ring daemon source.

You can also manually clone the daemon and override the DAEMON_DIR during compilation

Make sure you have the android-ndk and android-sdk, and you'll want something like this in your .bashrc (or equivalent):

export ANDROID_NDK=$HOME/src/android-ndk
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_NDK
export ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/src/android-sdk-linux
export ANDROID_HOME=$ANDROID_SDK
export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools:${PATH}

install swig-2.0.6 or later and python-2.7 or later on your system

Build instructions

Supported archs are: armeabi-v7a and x86

Example:

ANDROID_ABI="armeabi-v7a x86"

Then:

./compile.sh

If you cloned the daemon in a custom directory (other than ../daemon), you can specify it using an absolute path:

DAEMON_DIR=custom_path ./compile.sh

When all else fails:

git clean -dfx
cd ../daemon (or custom_path)
git clean -dfx

And start again.

Update translations

Update translations using the Transifex client (tx) :

./update-translations.sh
