How to add C++ folder to android stodio

cocos2d-x C++
#1

I’ve imported a cocos2d-x to my android studio IDE, but it only has android code. Now I want to add Class folder(which contain C++ files) to android studio, because I have to implement on both Java and C++ code. So how can I do?

So, you get project.android and imported it to Android Studio? Its not very good. In new cocos templates there is a folder “project.android-studio” with template for android studio project and gradle support. In this template Android Stusio doesnt build c++ code, so you have to use cocos-console to build project(after c++ built you can use Android Studio to edit and deploy Java):

cocos compile -p android --android-studio

Note: There are no official way to edit C++ in Android Studio now. Its only experimental support of C++. Android studio template still uses old ndk-build with mk files.

Thanks a ton for your answer. I’m a newbie and have no experience with cocos2d-x. I check my cocos project but cannot find project.android-studio folder :frowning:

I believe it’s because cocos not officially support Android Studio yet. If you downloaded Cocos2d-x from Cocos Store there are no “project.android-studio” folder. But you can download cocos from site and get this folder from there. Add it to your project.

Any problem if I download and add project.android-studio to my on-doing project?

You have to copy your java code, manifest and others to project.android-studio folder.
Then you can switch. Use this commands:

  1. cocos compile -p android
    To build “project.android” folder with eclipse(ant) project.

  2. cocos compile -p android --android-studio
    To build “project.android-studio” folder and Android Studio(gradle) project

Hi @Gaspar, I downloaded cocos2d-x 2.2.6 on the cocos site but still have no project.android-studio folder

Oh, i am using cocos2d-x v3 and i dont think that cocos v2 support Android Studio. You can try to use project.android-studio from cocos v3 and use console to build c++, then use Android studio to make apk. But i am not sure that it will be easy
