Build Android APKs on device, on your smartphone and tablet withTermux; Make applications for your Android smartphone and tablet! This repository contains source code for many Android applications that have been successfully built inTermux.

Have you ever wanted to build your own application? Something that you can distribute over the Internet, and can be used on Android smartphones and tablets worldwide. Would you dare to try to spend some time learning something new to do so?

BuildAPKs is a project containing repositories of source code designed just for this purpose. Source code is the way programs are written in a human understandable language for applications to compile and then to be run on an Android device. These programs have been successfully built on device, a smartphone. First successful builds on Sun May 28 2017 inTermux (Android 6.0.1 aarch64).

Cloning and updatingsubmodules is automated into thebuild*.bash scripts. To manually update this project to the newest version; Seeupdate.buildAPKs.sh for more information. If you recieve a history error message from git pull, the simplest solution ismv ~/buildAPKs ~/b0 and then reclone into the $HOME folder. SeeCHANGE.log for this git repository's change history.

The~/buildAPKs/sources/github and~/buildAPKs/var directories can be symbolic links to external storage space to save native space on device. For example, agithub/var directory can be created and each can be symlinked with ln -s. Prefix the build*.bash scripts with bash to run buildAPKs in external storage, i.e.$ bash buildFlashlights.bash. Build Android APKs on device (smartphone and tablet).

This command:for i in $(cat ~/buildAPKs/var/db/UNAMES) ; do ~/buildAPKs/build.github.bash $i ; done will attempt to buildUNAMES, all known GitHub usernames.

While this command:for i in $(cat ~/buildAPKs/var/db/TNAMES) ; do ~/buildAPKs/scripts/bash/github/build.github.topics.bash $i ; done will attempt to buildTNAMES, all known GitHub topics @GitHub.

Submit apull request at db.BuildAPKs if you would like names added to these listings. Thedb.BuildAPKsREADME.md has more information about the new database buildAPKs uses.

Prefix these bash scripts by typing dot slash./ on your Android smartphone and tablet in Termux, i.e. type./b at the prompt $, press TAB TAB (x2). The prompt will magically add uild. Then add a capital A. Press TAB TAB (x2) again. This will build the following command on the command line./buildAll.bash for you. Press enter (return) in~/buildAPKs/. Additional CLI information atThe Linux Documentation Project.

The built APKs will be deposited into Download/builtAPKs ifTermux storage permission is granted for installing on smartphone and tablet through browsers, and download and file managers. Built APKs will be deposited into ~/buildAPKs/cache/builtAPKs if storage permission is not granted. The minimal install size to start building your first applications is about 10MB. Have fun and enjoy compiling, hacking, modifying and running these select APKs on device!

ThebuildAll.bash command can build hundreds of APKs on your device. Maximum space allotment for complete build of everything included (755) is about 850MB for buildAPKs, plus about 74MB for the finished products deposited into Download/builtAPKs; More than seven hundred and fifty five (755) Android applications can be made from source code available atBuildAPKs on device today. Withbuild.github.bash you can build nearly an unlimited number of APKs which are available at GitHub.
