# Android support in Fluidsynth
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fluidsynth supports Android audio outputs by Oboe and OpenSLES audio drivers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Android also has Android MIDI API which is exposed only in Android Java API, but it is not exposed as a native API, therefore there is no `mdriver` support for Android. There is an example MidiDeviceService implementation for Fluidsynth at: https://github.com/atsushieno/fluidsynth-midi-service-j
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`libfluidsynth.so` and `libfluidsynth-assetloader.so` are the library that should be packaged into apk. The latter is for asset-based "sfloader".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, "oboe" is the default driver for Android. You can also explicitly specify "opensles" instead, with "audio.driver" setting:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
fluid_settings_setstr (settings_handle, "audio.driver", "opensles");
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Custom SoundFont loader
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since Android file access is quite limited and there is no common place
|
||
|
|
to store soundfonts unlike Linux desktop (e.g. `/usr/share/sounds/sf2`), you
|
||
|
|
will most likely have to provide custom soundfont loader.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since version 2.0.0 Fluidsynth comes with `fluid_sfloader_set_callbacks()` which brings
|
||
|
|
[customizible file/stream reader](https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/issues/241) (open/read/seek/tell/close). It is useful to implement simplified
|
||
|
|
custom SF loader e.g. with Android assets or OBB streams.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Android implementation is in separate library called `libfluidsynth-assetloader.so`. It comes with native Asset sfloader. However, its usage is a bit tricky because AssetManager needs to be passed from Java code (even though we use AAssetManager API).
|
||
|
|
Use `Java_fluidsynth_androidextensions_NativeHandler_setAssetManagerContext()` to initialize the this loader, then call `new_fluid_android_asset_sfloader()` to create a new sfloader. If you already have AAssetManager instance, then the first JNI function is ignorable and you only have to specify the manager to the second function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is [an example source code](https://github.com/atsushieno/fluidsynth-midi-service-j/blob/a2a56b/fluidsynthjna/src/main/java/fluidsynth/androidextensions/AndroidNativeAssetSoundFontLoader.kt#L17) on how to do it.

|

|
|
## Building
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, you are supposed to provide `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` to glib etc. as well as oboe. There is nothing special.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, in reality, Oboe does not come up with an official package specification, so you will have to create it manually... unless you use `oboe-1.0.pc` in this directory as well as the build system set up here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are "non-normative" build scripts i.e. `Makefile.android` and a couple of helper files in this directory. In case you don't have any dependencies such as glib for Android, then it would be helpful.
