Code::Blocks Android NDK integration

Installing the NDK installer C :: B template

• Download the installer NDK C::B template CodeBlocksNdkTemplate v.0.0.14.79 / win32 (07/03/2019)
• Run the installer and install the NDK C::B template
• If you did not select the “Overwrite C::B template configuration (v.17.12)” option during installation, you need to register the template yourself in the Code :: Blocks configuration file.
• Edit the file config.script and add the template to the list used.

Editing the C::B file with config.script

The file must be in the following path:

<CodeBlocks base directory>\share\CodeBlocks\templates\wizard\config.script

You must add the following code to the RegisterWizards() function:

       function RegisterWizards()
       {
            //...
            RegisterWizard(
                          wizProject,
                          _T("ndk_android"),
                          _T("NDK Android"),
                          _T("Native")
            );
            //...

Before using the template, after making these changes, you must restart C::B

Features

Bug?: unfortunately I did not find a direct way to add debugger parameters directly to the C::B project using its API.
Currently, the debugger parameters are entered into the Extensions/debugger1 section, but for operation it is necessary that these parameters be in the Extensions/debugger section.
After creating the project, use the editor to remove the Extensions/debugger section and rename the Extensions/debugger1 section to Extensions/debugger.
An example of the contents of this section is given below.

<debugger>
	/// One actually platform path
	// <search_path add="obj/local/arm64-v8a" />
	// <search_path add="obj/local/x86" />
	// <search_path add="obj/local/x86_64" />
	<search_path add="obj/local/armeabi-v7a" />
	<remote_debugging target="Debug">
		<options
			conn_type="0"
			serial_baud="115200"
			ip_address="127.0.0.1"
			ip_port="59999"
			additional_cmds_before="set solib-search-path obj/local/armeabi-v7a&#x0A;file obj/local/armeabi-v7a/$(TARGET_OUTPUT_BASENAME)&#x0A;"
		/>
	</remote_debugging>
</debugger>

Attention!: the cbp2ndk and android-elf-cleaner utilities used in NDK C::B template are built for the 32bit version of Windows.
If you are using a 64bit platform and want to have executable files of the corresponding bitness, you need to rebuild the project yourself.
The cbp2ndk and android-elf-cleaner utilities in C::B are located along the following path:

<CodeBlocks base directory>\share\CodeBlocks\templates\wizard\ndk_android\exec\
