Andriod and C++, how?

Hey guys,

Im new over here, but i've beens following posts from a long time now.
i know a little java, and some other stuff.

But right now im putting myself into c++, My real question comes like this: What do i really need to compile c++ for andriod? :confused:

And maybe a little description, if you want to. Like in steps :D


Thank you in advance

If you want android application development in C++, you'd need to use their NDK.
If you just want to compile standard C++ code on an android device, you'd need to root it and install gcc.

what's the difference between using the NDK and rooting the device and installing the gcc?

One you're supposed to do, if you're going to make android apps in C++.
The second is just a hack.

Thanks! Just What i needed to know :D

The second will void your warranty. That is, unless you don't break it and unroot it before sending it in to service.
