SQLite Android Bindings

  <li><a name=buildnative></a> <b>Build the native libraries.</b>
  <p> To build the native libraries, navigate to the
      <code>sqlite3/src/main/</code> directory of the project directory and
      run the <code>ndk-build</code> command. For example, on Linux if 
      Android Studio and the NDK are installed using their default paths:
<verbatim>
    $ cd sqlite3/src/main
    $ ~/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/ndk-build</verbatim>
  <p> On modern hardware, this command takes roughly 2 minutes to build the
      native libraries for all Android architectures.
  <p> 
  The latest release of the public domain SQLite library comes bundled 
  with the SQLite Android bindings code downloaded in step 1. If you wish
  to use a different version of SQLite, for example one that contains the
  proprietry [./see.wiki | SEE extension], then replace the <code>sqlite3.c</code>

  switches, for example the -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS5 switch used to enable 
  <a href=http://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html>FTS5</a>, they should be added to
  the <code>Android.mk</code> file at this location:

<verbatim>
    sqlite3/src/main/jni/sqlite/Android.mk</verbatim>
  <p>
  If the <code>Android.mk</code> or <code>sqlite3.&#91;ch&#93;</code> files
  are edited after <code>ndk-build</code> is run, it may be necessary to run
  the <code>ndk-build clean</code> command before rerunning 
  <code>ndk-build</code> to ensure a correct build.
  <p>
  Once <code>ndk-build</code> has been run successfully, unless you modify
  the <code>Android.mk</code> or <code>sqlite3.&#91;ch&#93;</code> files,
  it should not be necessary to run it again. It <i>does not</i> have to be 
  run each time the application is rebuilt.

  <li> <b>Assemble the aar file</b>. To assemble the aar file using the 
  command line, first set environment variable ANDROID_HOME to the SDK
  directory, then run the gradle "assembleRelease" target from within the
  "sqlite3" sub-directory of the project directory. For example:

  <p>
  Using either the command line or Android Studio to run the gradle task
  causes the aar file to be created at:
  <code>sqlite3/build/outputs/aar/sqlite3-release.aar</code>.
  <p>
  Once the custom aar file has been created, it may be used in an Android
  Studio application as described above. The aar file should be roughly
  4.5MB in size. If it is much smaller than this (closer to 100KB), this
  indicates that the aar file is missing the native libraries. The usual
  cause of this is an unnoticed error while building the native libraries 
  (step 2 above).
