We downloaded the Windows installer: installer_r24.3.4-windows.exe. Then choose the latest installer for your platform. Open the web page for the Android stand-alone tools package. It won't install without the JDK, which is why we installed the JDK first. After the JDK is installed you can move onto setting up the Android SDK. We are using Windows so we downloaded the Windows 圆4 JDK download: dk-8u60-windows-圆4.exe.Īfter the download has completed install the JDK. Next select the download for the platform of your choice. This takes you to another page where you must accept a license agreement. You only need the Java Platform (JDK) which is the first download link (at the time of writing).
There are multiple download links on this page. The JDK can be downloaded from Oracle's Java downloads page. Recently though Android Studio has been looking really good and you may find it easier to work with when creating this sort of project.īefore installing the Android SDK we need to install the JDK which is a dependency and necessary for Java development.
In this article we demonstrate installation of the stand-alone Android SDK. To build the library we must install the Java Development Kit (JDK), the Android SDK and Apache Ant. The language for Android development is Java, therefore the Android library that is our Unity plugin is coded in Java. If you plan to clone or fork we recommend using SourceTree. You can clone it, fork it or simply download the zip file. Example Projectĭuring the article we reference the example project that is available on github: This was a good opportunity for some learning and now we aim to pass on the knowledge. Now we can warn the user not to start the long process if the device is low on battery (and not plugged in). To find the current battery level and check if the device is plugged in we must query the Android API. It isn't ideal if the battery gives out part-way through. Our app has a process that once started, at least ideally, needs to run to completion without interruption. We needed to know the current level of the device's battery.
Recently at Real Serious Games we built an Android app using Unit圓d. We'll gloss over some Java code, it won't be difficult if you already know C#. You should be familiar with C#, Unit圓d development and the Unity Editor. You should be comfortable using the command line. This is aimed at intermediate developers. This short article is a guide to creating a plugin to access the Android API from Unit圓d. Creating a native Android plugin for Unit圓d Introduction
