About

ScummVM has been ported to the Android platform.

For more information, including how to install and use ScummVM on Android, see the Android user documentation.

Developer information

Daily Builds

To test newer development versions, the daily autogenerated builds from the buildbot can be found here.

To install a daily build:

Uninstall all currently installed ScummVM versions including all plug-ins, as you can not install a daily build alongside the stable release.
Manually install the APK package. Instructions for manual installation are found in the Android user documentation.

The daily builds are debug builds, which means that on some devices performance may be significantly slow for certain CPU intensive features and processes, such as video decoding and MT-32 emulation.

To build your own version from source, see the compilation instructions for Android.

Known issues

When quitting ScummVM by using the Quit button, the process is not cleaned up immediately by Android and the shared object stays in memory.

This means that some global variables (like the debug level) stay initialized to their previous values.

+== Developer information ==
-== Controls ==
+=== Daily Builds ===
-=== 5-Way navigation control / DPAD ===
-    DPAD up/down/left/right: Mouse movement
+To test newer development versions, the daily autogenerated builds from the buildbot can be found [https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds here].
-    DPAD center: Left mouse button
-=== Trackball ===
+To install a daily build:
+* Uninstall all currently installed ScummVM versions including all plug-ins, as you can not install a daily build alongside the stable release.
+* Manually install the APK package. Instructions for manual installation are found in the [https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/other_platforms/android.html#manually-installing-the-apk-package Android user documentation].<br />
+The daily builds are debug builds, which means that on some devices performance may be significantly slow for certain CPU intensive features and processes, such as video decoding and MT-32 emulation.
-    Movement: Mouse movement
+To build your own version from source, see the [[Compiling_ScummVM/Android|compilation instructions for Android]].
-    Click: Left mouse button
-=== Touchscreen ===
+=== Known issues ===
-    The touchscreen can be used in two modes: direct mode and touchpad mode. The default mode is touchpad mode.
+When quitting ScummVM by using the Quit button, the process is not cleaned up immediately by Android and the shared object stays in memory.
-    When in direct mode, the mouse cursor moves to the touched point on screen.
-    In touchpad mode, the mouse cursor is independent of the touched point, it
-    is moved relative to its current position - like on a touchpad.
-    The Android version of ScummVM doesn't have an input configuration dialog yet,
-    but as a temporary workaround, touchpad mode can be toggled with the "Mixed AdLib/MIDI mode"
-    checkbox on the MIDI tab in ScummVM's main options dialog. Restart ScummVM after changing it.
-    Tap + movement: Mouse movement
-    Tap without movement: Left mouse button click
-    Tap held for &gt;0.5s without movement: Right mouse button click
-    Tap held for &gt;1s without movement: Middle mouse button click
-    Double Tap + movement: Drag and drop
-    On devices supporting multitouch:
-    Hold down one finger, tap with second: Right mouse button click
-    Hold down two fingers, tap with third: Middle mouse button click
-=== System keys ===
+This means that some global variables (like the debug level) stay initialized to their previous values.
