How do you compile SFML 2.2 to Android?

[shippage]

I'm have a problem trying to get the Android example running on my phone.

I did a clone of the SFML master git repo and imported the Android project in Android Studio. When I Run/Debug it just sits on "Waiting for device". When I replug-in my phone it detects the device but the app still doesn't appear.

Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? SFML's wiki on building for Android is seems outdated and is for CMake, I also tried this method before but had weird problems with Make.

First, Android Studio doesn't support the NDK yet, so you can't use SFML/NDK with Android Studio. (you can when you know how to implement the native libs etc into gradle (build system))

So you have to use eclipse+adt+NDK, keep in mind that google stopped working on the ADT plugin. You will find in the Android/iOS thread a guide how to compile SFML and add in to "build-system/eclipse". http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=13716.msg96053#msg96053

Nope. that is the way to go. But you have to use the "Make" provided by the NDK (On windows its something like NDK/prebuilt/windows/... (I'm on my phone so I can't tell you the full path)

I'm wondering would we be able to use the Genymotion emulator to run an android sfml project rather than that thing that is built into eclipse?

You'd have to ask the Genymotion people.
