Build With Crosswalk for Android

Build

• Build meteor:

meteor build .build --server "https://server/url"

• Download the [crosswalk cordova package][1], rename the framework/ to CordovaLib, and copy it to override meteor build's CordovaLib.
• Add VERSION file:

cp <path_to_unpacked_arm_bundle>/VERSION VERSION

• Add permissons to manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

• Clean the app:

cd .build/android/project
ant clean
android update project --subprojects --path . --target "android-21"

• Build the CrossWalk:

cd CordovaLib/
android update project --subprojects --path . --target "android-21"
ant debug/release

• Build app:

ant debug/release

If (errors)

• To fix the compile errors:

cd CordovaLib
ant clean; ant debug/build;
ln -s bin ant-build

cd xwalk_core_library
ant clean; ant debug/build;
ln -s bin ant-build

• To fix the "canGoBack" not found error: simply replace

webView.canGoBack()

with

webView.getNavigationHistory().canGoBack()

In order to not erase potential customizations, the file will not be automatically regenerated.
If no changes have been made to the file, delete it manually and run the command again.
If you have made customizations to the build process, the file must be manually updated.
It is recommended to:
        * Copy current file to a safe location.
        * Delete original file.
        * Run command again to generate a new file.
        * Port customizations to the new file, by looking at the new rules file
          located at <SDK>/tools/ant/build.xml
        * Update file to contain
              version-tag: custom
          to prevent file from being rewritten automatically by the SDK tools.
