| == Nightly Builds ==
| |
| | |
| If you want to try the new NativeUI on your Android device, you can download the latest nightly builds here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Nightly
| |
| | |
| What's in them? See here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Fennec/NativeUI/NightlyFeatures
| |
| | |
| == How To Build ==
| |
| | |
| The project repository is here: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central
| |
| | |
| Follow the instructions from [[Mobile/Fennec/Android]]. Build as you normally would (make -f client.mk), just with a different mozconfig.
| |
| | |
| Here's an example mozconfig:
| |
| | |
| # Add the correct paths here:
| |
| ac_add_options --with-android-ndk="$HOME/android-ndk-r6b"
| |
| ac_add_options --with-android-sdk="$HOME/android-sdk-linux_x86/platforms/android-13"
| |
| ac_add_options --with-android-version=5
| |
|
| |
| # android options
| |
| ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile/android
| |
| ac_add_options --target=arm-linux-androideabi
| |
| ac_add_options --with-ccache
| |
|
| |
| mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=./objdir-droid
| |
| mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j9 -s"
| |
| | |
| <br>
| |
| | |
| hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central src
| |
| cd src
| |
| vi mozconfig-droid
| |
| ...
| |
| export MOZCONFIG=~/src/mozconfig-droid
| |
| make -f client.mk
| |
| | |
| === Build for Mac OSX<br> ===
| |
| | |
| Requirements : Mercurial (hg), autoconf-2.13 (Use Macports to install), Android SDK/NDK (use r6 or r5c; r6bc and r7 will build but crash)<br>
| |
| <pre>hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central src
| |
| cd src
| |
| vi .mozconfig
| |
| </pre>

| == Architecture Overview ==
| |
| | |
| Get a bird's eye view of how the native UI version of Fennec is [[Fennec/NativeUI/Architecture Overview|structured]]. There are also some examples of [[Fennec/NativeUI/Messages|messaging]] between Java and XUL/JS.
| |
| | |
| == Design ==
| |
| | |
| The UI design is under revision, to make it simpler and to make more use of standard Android controls (i.e. hardware/system menu button, back button) and to make sure that more touchevents can be passed directly to web content.
