  • run: Run a binary or example of the local package
  • gdb: Start a gdb session attached to an adb device with symbols loaded

Manifest

cargo supports the metadata table for configurations for external tools like cargo apk. Following configuration options are supported by cargo apk under [package.metadata.android]:

[package.metadata.android]
# Specifies the package property of the manifest.
package = "com.foo.bar"

# Specifies the array of targets to build for.
build_targets = [ "armv7-linux-androideabi", "aarch64-linux-android", "i686-linux-android", "x86_64-linux-android" ]

# Path to your application's resources folder.
# If not specified, resources will not be included in the APK.
resources = "path/to/resources_folder"

# Path to the folder containing your application's assets.
# If not specified, assets will not be included in the APK.
assets = "path/to/assets_folder"

# Name for final APK file.
# Defaults to package name.
apk_name = "myapp"

# `default` (or unspecified) - Debug symbols, if they exist, are not treated
#                              specially.
#
# `strip`                    - Debug symbols are stripped from the shared
#                              libraries before being copied into the APK.
#
# `split`                    - Functions the same as `strip`, except the debug
#                              symbols are written to the apk output directory
#                              alongside the stripped shared libraries, with
#                              a `.dwarf` extension.
#
# Note that the `strip` and `split` options will only have an effect if
# debug symbols are present in the `.so` file(s) produced by your build, enabling
# https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html#strip or
# https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html#split-debuginfo
# in your cargo manifest can cause debug symbols to no longer be present
# in the `.so`.
strip = "default"

# Folder containing extra shared libraries intended to be dynamically loaded at runtime.
# Files matching `libs_folder/${android_abi}/*.so` are added to the apk
# according to the specified build_targets.
runtime_libs = "path/to/libs_folder"

# The name of a Linux user ID that is shared with other apps. By
# default, Android assigns each app its own unique user ID. However, if
# this attribute is set to the same value for two or more apps, they all
# share the same ID, provided that their certificate sets are identical.
# Apps with the same user ID can access each other's data and, if
# desired, run in the same process.
shared_user_id = "my.shared.user.id"

# Defaults to `$HOME/.android/debug.keystore` for the `dev` profile. Will ONLY
# generate a new debug.keystore if this file does NOT exist. A keystore is never
# auto-generated for other profiles.
#
# The keystore path can be absolute, or relative to the Cargo.toml file.
#
# The environment variables `CARGO_APK_<PROFILE>_KEYSTORE` and
# `CARGO_APK_<PROFILE>_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD` can be set to a keystore path
# and keystore password respectively. The profile portion follows the same rules
# as `<cfg>`, it is the uppercased profile name with `-` replaced with `_`.
#
# If present they take precedence over the signing information in the manifest.
