angle-android

Builds ANGLE for Android and packages it for easy consumption from Gradle / NDK projects.

Companion to angle-apple and angle-windows.

Build matrix

ABI	target_cpu	Args file
arm64-v8a	arm64	Android.arm64.args.gn
armeabi-v7a	arm	Android.arm.args.gn
x86_64	x64	Android.x64.args.gn

Backends enabled: Vulkan (primary) and OpenGL ES (fallback). Minimum API level: 24 (Android 7.0).

Artifacts

Each CI run produces:

• Android.<arch> — per-ABI tar.gz with stripped .so, unstripped symbols, and headers.
• angle-android-jniLibs.zip — drop-in jniLibs/{arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,x86_64} layout plus headers.
• angle-android.aar — Gradle-ready AAR with prefab metadata so CMake / ndk-build consumers see libEGL and libGLESv2 as prefab modules.

Using the AAR in a Gradle project

Published as a static Maven repo on GitHub Pages — no authentication needed:

// settings.gradle.kts or root build.gradle.kts
repositories {
    maven { url = uri("https://celestiamobile.github.io/angle-android/") }
}

// app/build.gradle.kts
android {
    buildFeatures {
        prefab = true
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation("space.celestia:angle-android:<version>@aar")
}

CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(angle REQUIRED CONFIG)
target_link_libraries(my_app angle::libEGL angle::libGLESv2)

Using the jniLibs zip

Unzip into src/main/ so it merges with the standard jniLibs/ source set:

src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libEGL.so
src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libGLESv2.so
...

Add the headers from include/ to your CMakeLists.txt include path manually.

Local build

Requires Linux (Chromium's Android build chain is Linux-only):

./build.sh Android arm64
./build.sh Android arm
./build.sh Android x64
./package_aar.sh "$PWD/staging" "$PWD/dist"

(staging/ must contain angle-<arch>/ directories — extract each angle-<arch>.tar.gz into it.)
