Use CMake to build this library. We assume that your source directory is common-api-runtime:

$ cd common-api-runtime
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
$ make
$ make install

You can change the installation directory by the CMake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX or you can let it uninstalled (skip the make install command). Please refer to the installation description of the binding runtime how to use uninstalled versions of CommonAPI.

For further build instructions (build for windows, build documentation, tests etc.) please refer to the CommonAPI tutorial.

In general for building the Android source tree the instructions found on the pages from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) apply (https://source.android.com/setup/build/requirements).

To integrate the CommonAPI Core Runtime library into the build process, the source code together with the Android.bp file has to be inserted into the Android source tree (by simply copying or by fetching with a custom platform manifest). When building the Android source tree, the Android.bp file is automatically found and considered by the build system.

In order that the CommonAPI Core Runtime library is also included in the Android image, the library has to be added to the PRODUCT_PACKAGES variable in one of a device/target specific makefile:

PRODUCT_PACKAGES  = \
    libCommonAPI
