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.

-ScummVM has also been ported to the Android platform.
-There is a [[Android/Guide|quick start guide]] aimed at users of the stable version from the Android Market.
+== About ==
+ScummVM has been ported to the Android platform.
-== Controls ==
+For more information, including how to install and use ScummVM on Android, see the [https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/other_platforms/android.html Android user documentation].
-=== 5-Way navigation control / DPAD ===
-    DPAD up/down/left/right: Mouse movement
+== Developer information ==
-    DPAD center: Left mouse button

-=== Touchscreen ===
-    The touchscreen can be used in two modes: direct mode and touchpad mode. The default mode is touchpad mode.
-    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 ===
-    Back button: Escape
-    Menu button: ScummVM menu
-    Menu button held for 0.5s: Toggle virtual keyboard
-    Camera or Search button: Right mouse button click
-== Installation ==
+To test newer development versions, the daily autogenerated builds from the buildbot can be found [https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds here].
-=== Release Builds ===
+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.
-Most users will install/update the latest stable signed release build and plugins from the Google Play store directly on their device.<br />
+To build your own version from source, see the [[Compiling_ScummVM/Android|compilation instructions for Android]].
-The ScummVM developer page for this is [https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=ScummVM here].<br />
-It is required to install the main ScummVM application from [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scummvm.scummvm here] before installing the required engine plugins.
-For users with Android devices lacking the Google Play store access, there are several other options to install the release builds:<br />
+=== Known issues ===
-# Zip files with signed apks will be provided on the download page and these can be installed with a file manager as per the instructions for daily builds below.<br />
-# F-Droid OSS Catalogue from [https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.scummvm.scummvm here].
-=== Daily Builds ===
+When quitting ScummVM by using the Quit button, the process is not cleaned up immediately by Android and the shared object stays in memory.
-As the Play store version may be outdated or users may want to test newer development versions, the daily autogenerated builds from our buildbot can be found [http://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html here].
+This means that some global variables (like the debug level) stay initialized to their previous values.
-However, to install them, a few points are needed to be dealt with:
+=== External links ===
-* You will need to uninstall all currently installed ScummVM versions including all plugins, as you can not install a daily build alongside the stable release.
+* [https://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=17 ScummVM forum for the ScummVM Android port]
-* In order to install the APKs from the daily build zip files, you will need a file manager. The free and open source Ghost Commander is recommended which can also unzip the zip files if downloaded directly to the device.
-* In order to install these _UNSIGNED_ daily builds, you will need to enable the option in the Android Settings for Unknown sources.<br />
-This is usually under Settings->Security->Unknown Sources (Allow installation of apps from unknown sources).<br />
-You should turn this off again after you have installed both the main ScummVM apk and the required engine plugins.
