Need to build for android using c++

deepanshu_76

Hey,

I'm working on android and need Ice. I looked up and only found information for users of the Ice for Java distribution (https://doc.zeroc.com/ice/3.7/release-notes/using-ice-on-android).

Can I have common integration for Android and iOS using C++ interface, with different libraries built for respective platforms?

To be more specific, the requirement is common server implementation for Android and iOS.

I went to Github (Building Ice for C++ - https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice/tree/3.7/cpp) and in the ZeroC Ice documentation (https://doc.zeroc.com/ice/3.7/release-notes/using-ice-on-android).
Please let us know whether android based C++ library is supported or not for Android platform?

Hi,

The Android NDK isn't an Ice for C++ supported platform, we support Android with the Ice for C# and Java mappings. See Supported Platforms for Ice 3.7.3 for a list of the supported platforms for each language mapping.

Adding support for the Android NDK to Ice for C++ is certainly doable as Ice for C++ is already supported on a large number of platforms. If you would like us to look into adding support for this, please contact us directly by email at info@zeroc.com to discuss it.

Cheers,
Benoit
