 | |
| ## Sign the Android APK from CI
 | |
| 
 | |
| The [Github Actions Workflow](https://github.com/minetest/minetest/actions?query=workflow%3Aandroid+event%3Apush)
 | |
| automatically produces an APK for each architecture.
 | |
| Before installing them onto a device they however need to be signed.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This requires an installation of the Android SDK and `adb`.
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| .../android-sdk/build-tools/30.0.3/apksigner sign --ks ~/.android/debug.keystore \
 | |
| 	app-arm64-v8a-release-unsigned.apk
 | |
| # Enter 'android' (without quotes) when asked for a password
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that the `debug.keystore` will not exist if you have never compiled an
 | |
| Android app on your system (probably).
 | |
| 
 | |
| After that installing it will work:
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| adb install -r -d ./app-arm64-v8a-release-unsigned.apk
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## How to get debug output from Minetest on Android
 | |
| 
 | |
| In case debug.txt isn't enough (e.g. when debugging a crash), you can get debug
 | |
| output using logcat:
 | |
| 
 | |
| `adb logcat -s 'Minetest:*' '*:F'`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that you can do this even *after* the app has crashed,
 | |
| since Android keeps an internal buffer.
 | |
| 
 | |
| A segmentation fault for example looks like this:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```

| 
 | |
| ## Profiling Minetest on Linux
 | |
| 
 | |
| We will be using a tool called "perf", which you can get by installing `perf` or `linux-perf` or `linux-tools-common`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| For best results build Minetest and Irrlicht with debug symbols
 | |
| (`-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo` or `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug`).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Run the client (or server) like this and do whatever you wanted to test:
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| perf record -z --call-graph dwarf -- ./bin/minetest
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| This will leave a file called "perf.data".
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can open this file with perf built-in tools but much more interesting
 | |
| is the visualization using a GUI tool: **[Hotspot](https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot)**.
 | |
| It will give you flamegraphs, per-thread, per-function views and much more.
