Android

Hyperion runs on Android phones and tablets. Support works, but isn't stable yet.

What you'll need

The Android NDK. We test with NDK 29. Point ANDROID_NDK_HOME at it.
Ninja, on your PATH or installed with Visual Studio or the Android SDK.
The Android SDK and Java 17, for Gradle. Android Studio installs both.

We build for 64-bit ARM (arm64-v8a), and you'll need Android 9 (API 28) or newer.

Build it

Build the engine for Android. The libraries end up in Binaries/Android/Release/.
```
build.bat Android Release
```
Package it with your project's content:
```
Tools\Scripts\PackageBuildAndroid.bat --cook --project MyGame
```
Without --cook, only engine content is included.
Build and install the APK with Gradle, from Source/PlatformSpecific/Android/:
```
gradlew.bat installDebug
```
You can also open that folder in Android Studio and run it from there.

Settings

Android uses Config/EngineConfig.Android.json instead of the regular config with platform-specific overrides for targeting lower end devices than the typical desktop experience
