This page describes how to build Android packages from the ScummVM source tree.

While one can manually go through the process of installing and configuring the toolchains for the target Android architectures, and cross-compiling any third party libraries (again for each target architecture), currently the recommended method is to use a Docker container that can be built using scripts from our [https://github.com/scummvm/dockerized-bb Dockerised Buildbot repository]. This page will cover how to build ScummVM for the supported target Android architecture using the Docker container method.

However, one can still attempt the manual way of setting up the Android toolchain(s), without using Docker containers, by following the logic and commands in our scripts for building the Docker images. It should be noted, that the process of manually setting the toolchains is considerably easy if the developer does not need any of the cross-compiled third party libraries that some of the engines or functionalities of ScummVM depend on.
