A sample for the Cronet library

Cronet Sample

Cronet is Chromium's Networking stack packaged as a library. This sample app shows how to use the library.

Getting Started

---

It's a manual procedure to get the Cronet library into a project. To add the libraries to the sample, please follow the following steps:

1. Go to Cronet releases website and choose the latest release
2. Navigate to chromium-cronet/android/releasenumber/Release/cronet
3. Get .jar files
4. Download cronet_api.jar, cronet_impl_common_java.jar and cronet_impl_native_java.jar
5. Directly under the "app" directory of your project, create a "libs" directory. Use a shell command if you like, or use "File|New|Directory" from the menu. But note that you only get "Directory" as an option if you are in "Project" view, not "Android" view. "Project" models the local machine's filesystem, but Android is a virtual layout of files corresponding to the deployed hierarchy.
6. Copy cronet_api.jar cronet_impl_common_java.jar and cronet_impl_native_java.jar under the libs directory
7. Select the files at once
8. Bring up the context menu and choose "Add as Library"
9. Confirm "OK" at the "Add to module" dialog
10. Update the app/build.gradle file matching the names of the libraries
11. Get .so files
12. Download .so files, currently located here
13. Under "app/src/main" create a directory named "jniLibs"
14. Copy armeabi and armeabi-v7a into jniLibs, which should contain only subdirectories, not directly a '.so' file. If you typically use an emulator, copy x86_64 folder into jniLibs folder as well
