TypePHP Android native app

This example compiles PHP into a self-contained Android arm64-v8a shared library and packages a signed APK using the Android SDK command-line tools. The TypePHP code owns the control layout, name input, click counter, reset behavior, and event dispatch. Java only supplies the Activity lifecycle and a generic native View bridge. It does not require Gradle or Android Studio.

Prerequisites:

• Android SDK Platform/Build Tools 36
• Android NDK r27 or newer
• JDK with javac and keytool
• the compiler Composer dependencies, including php-nano and PHPX sources

Build:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/home/swoole/soft/android-sdk
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/home/swoole/soft/android-ndk-r27d
export PHPX_HOME=/path/to/phpx
./build-app.sh --nano

tpc.php itself still runs dynamically on the host PHP. --nano applies to the generated JNI shared library, which compiles the selected php-nano and PHPX sources directly and does not require a prebuilt Android libphp.a or libphpx.a. For a non-Nano build, additionally set PHPX_ANDROID_SDK_DIR to the SDK produced by phpx/sdk/build-native.sh and run ./build-app.sh without --nano.

The result is dist/typephp-android-hello-debug.apk. With an arm64 Android device connected and USB debugging enabled, install and launch it using:

./install-app.sh
