Minetest: Android version
 | 
						|
=========================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Controls
 | 
						|
--------
 | 
						|
The Android port doesn't support everything you can do on PC due to the
 | 
						|
limited capabilities of common devices. What can be done is described
 | 
						|
below:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
While you're playing the game normally (that is, no menu or inventory is
 | 
						|
shown), the following controls are available:
 | 
						|
* Look around: touch screen and slide finger
 | 
						|
* double tap: place a node or use selected item
 | 
						|
* long tap: dig node
 | 
						|
* touch shown buttons: press button
 | 
						|
* Buttons:
 | 
						|
** left upper corner: chat
 | 
						|
** right lower corner: jump
 | 
						|
** right lower corner: crouch
 | 
						|
** left lower corner: walk/step...
 | 
						|
   left up right
 | 
						|
       down
 | 
						|
** left lower corner: display inventory
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When a menu or inventory is displayed:
 | 
						|
* double tap outside menu area: close menu
 | 
						|
* tap on an item stack: select that stack
 | 
						|
* tap on an empty slot: if you selected a stack already, that stack is placed here
 | 
						|
* drag and drop: touch stack and hold finger down, move the stack to another
 | 
						|
  slot, tap another finger while keeping first finger on screen
 | 
						|
  --> places a single item from dragged stack into current (first touched) slot
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Special settings
 | 
						|
----------------
 | 
						|
There are some settings especially useful for Android users. Minetest's config
 | 
						|
file can usually be found at /mnt/sdcard/Minetest.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* gui_scaling: this is a user-specified scaling factor for the GUI- In case
 | 
						|
               main menu is too big or small on your device, try changing this
 | 
						|
               value.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Requirements
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In order to build, your PC has to be set up to build Minetest in the usual
 | 
						|
manner (see the regular Minetest documentation for how to get this done).
 | 
						|
In addition to what is required for Minetest in general, you will need the
 | 
						|
following software packages. The version number in parenthesis denotes the
 | 
						|
version that was tested at the time this README was drafted; newer/older
 | 
						|
versions may or may not work.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Android SDK 29
 | 
						|
* Android NDK r21
 | 
						|
* Android Studio 3 [optional]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Additionally, you'll need to have an Internet connection available on the
 | 
						|
build system, as the Android build will download some source packages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Build
 | 
						|
-----
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The new build system Minetest Android is fully functional and is designed to
 | 
						|
speed up and simplify the work, as well as adding the possibility of
 | 
						|
cross-platform build.
 | 
						|
You can use `./gradlew assemblerelease` or `./gradlew assembledebug` from the
 | 
						|
command line or use Android Studio and click the build button.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When using gradlew, the newest NDK will be downloaded and installed
 | 
						|
automatically. Or you can create a `local.properties` file and specify
 | 
						|
`sdk.dir` and `ndk.dir` yourself.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* In order to make a release build you'll have to have a keystore setup to sign
 | 
						|
  the resulting apk package. How this is done is not part of this README. There
 | 
						|
  are different tutorials on the web explaining how to do it
 | 
						|
  - choose one yourself.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Once your keystore is setup, enter build/android subdirectory and create a new
 | 
						|
  file "ant.properties" there. Add following lines to that file:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  > key.store=<path to your keystore>
 | 
						|
  > key.alias=Minetest
