Build for Android

The SDK supports building Android apps with C++. To build an Android app:

• Install Atlas Device SDK

• Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> to your AndroidManifest.xml

• Add the SDK's subdirectory to your native library's CMakeLists.txt and link it as a target library:

  set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
  add_subdirectory("realm-cpp")
  ...
  target_link_libraries(
     # Specifies the target library.
     myapplication
     # make sure to link the C++ SDK.
     cpprealm
  )

• Ensure that the git submodules are initialized inside of the realm-cpp folder before building.

• When instantiating the database or the SDK App, you must pass the filesDir.path as the path parameter in the respective constructor or database open template.

For an example of how to use the SDK in an Android app, refer to the Android RealmExample App in the realm-cpp GitHub repository.

Specifically, refer to the MainActivity.kt & native-lib.cpp files in the Android example app for code examples.
