Android Development In Visual Studio

Introduction

vs-android is intended to provide a collection of scripts and utilities to support integrated development of Android NDK C/C++ software under Microsoft Visual Studio.
Currently vs-android only works under Visual Studio 2010. Earlier versions lack the MSBuild integration with the C/C++ compilation systems.
The only required component is the Android NDK. Neither Cygwin, Java, nor the full Android SDK are needed to compile and link C/C++ code.

Features

• Compile and link Android C/C++ projects within Visual Studio.
• Integrated development, no makefiles. Works as another 'Platform' type.
• Android settings co-exist within the same VS projects as other platforms.
• Supports static library projects, and links them in if marked as project dependencies.
• Intellisense and 'External Dependencies' correctly pull in Android NDK headers.
• Cygwin install is not required.
• Around twice as fast as using ndk-build under Cygwin. For full rebuilds, and incremental changes.
• Ctrl-F7: compile single file functions, has no dependency checking wait.
• Supports invoking ant after linking, such that you end up with a packaged ready-to-deploy .apk file.
