Android Builder was modernized to the latest Google stacks. It is compatible with latest build tools version (33) and android (13).
The following PR covers:
- Migration from deprecated DX to D8
- Migrate from deprecated jarsigner to apksigner
- Android Builder works now for both POSIX and Windows
- There is no possibility to lunch SDK and AVD managers, the tools that we spawned previously are deprecated. We will need to write our own wrappers for console tools if we want to support that.
- Android Builder now parsers AndroidManifest.xml file and informs Android NDK project about minAndroidSdk version from this file. This helps to avoid warnings in the build process.
- Assist/Autocomplete refactored to use libclang
Other minor changes:
- Removed CoWork Pipe
- .dli runtime loading of dynamic libraries now supports path to library in access function
- EditField::SetBackground
- RichTextView::GotoLabel variant with Gate for matching
- RichEdit::GotoLabel variant with Gate for matching
This might bring some incompatibilities in the code that expects wchar to be 16 bit, which
escpecially involves dealing with Win32 (and to lesser extend MacOS) APIs, so if your application
is doing that, please check all instances of WCHAR (UniChar on MacOS) or even wchar
especially type casts.
To support host APIs, char16 is introduced (but there is no 16-bit String varian).
Use ToSystemCharsetW, FromSystemCharsetW to convert texts to Win32 API.
- Support of drawing non-BMP characters in GUI
- Vastly improved character font replacement code (when drawing characters missing with requested font, replacement font is used)
- Last instances of Win32 ANSI calls (those ending with A) are removed
- UTF handling routines are refactored and their's naming is unified
- RTF is now being able to handle non-BMP characters (RTF is used as clipboard format for RichText)
Other minor changes:
- fixed TryRealloc issue
- improved MemoryCheck
- Removed MemoryAlloc48/MemoryFree48
- In theide Background parsing should less often cause delays in the main thread
