Android
=======

For details on developing Go for Android, see the documentation in the
mobile subrepository:

	https://github.com/golang/mobile

To run the standard library tests, see androidtest.bash. Run it as

	CC_FOR_TARGET=$STANDALONE_NDK_PATH/bin/clang GOARCH=arm64 ./androidtest.bash

To create a standalone android NDK tool chain, follow the instructions on

	https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain

To run tests on the Android device, add the bin directory to PATH so the
go tool can find the go_android_$GOARCH_exec wrapper generated by
androidtest.bash. Then, use the same GOARCH as when androidtest.bash ran
and set GOOS to android. For example, to run the go1 benchmarks

	export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
	cd $GOROOT/test/bench/go1/
	GOOS=android GOARCH=arm64 go test -bench=. -count=N -timeout=T
