AACDecoder for Android

==================

This is a fork of:

Freeware Advanced Audio (AAC) Decoder for Android http://www.spoledge.com

The original source code can be obtained at http://code.google.com/p/aacdecoder-android/

This is a port of the "OpenCORE aacdec" open source library to Android platform.

Usage

Preparing

You must copy both Java JAR and the shared library files to your project's "libs" directory:

    $ cp -R decoder/libs <your_android_project>/libs

Using

Please look at the example activity using the AAC decoder:

    player/src/com/spoledge/aacplay/AACPlayerActivity.java

Summary How to build the the whole project - libs and apk.

System Requirements

• Android SDK - at least platform 3 (Android 1.5)
• Android NDK - rev 6
• Apache Ant - http://ant.apache.org/

Getting Android OpenCORE Sources

You have to download Android OpenCORE sources either by:

• downloading OpenCORE sources from the [Downloads] tab

• checking-out Android OpenCORE sources from the Androids repository: http://android.git.kernel.org

  • unfortunately this was working in summer 2011, but there is not an easy way how to download pure OpenCORE module now (spring 2012)
  • If anybody can provide me the full sources (OpenCORE only) I would appreciate it

• checking-out OpenCORE aacdec sources from the original project: http://code.google.com/p/opencore-aacdec/

If you download a zip file, then please unzip it somewhere.

Compiling

• copy sample.ant.properties to .ant.properties and edit .ant.properties:
  • path to Android SDK
  • path to Android NDK
  • path to Android OpenCORE sources
• run ant
• use the libraries and/or the APK:
  • install the APK on the emulator or a device: adb install player/bin/AACMusicPlayer-debug.apk
  • the Java and shared libraries you find in decoder/libs
