DESCRIPTION

This project ports the Windows application Emu48 written in C to Android.
It uses the Android NDK. The former Emu48 source code remains untouched because of a thin win32 emulation layer above Linux/NDK!
This win32 layer will allow to easily update from the original Emu48 source code.
It can open or save the exact same state files (state.e48/e49) than the original Windows application!

Some KML files with theirs faceplates are embedded in the application but it is still possible to open a KML file and its dependencies by selecting a folder.

The application does not request any permission (because it opens the files or the KML folders using the content:// scheme).

The application is distributed with the same license under GPL and you can find the source code here:
https://github.com/dgis/emu48android


QUICK START

1. From the left side, slide your finger to open the menu.
2. Touch the "New..." menu item.
3. Select a predefined faceplate (or select a custom KML script folder).
4. And the calculator should now be opened.


NOTES

- When using a custom KML script by selecting a folder, you must take care of the case sensitivity of its dependency files.


NOT WORKING YET

- Disassembler
- Debugger
- Macro
- Infrared Printer
- Serial Ports (Wire or Ir)

TODO

- Sometimes, it seems to be in authentic calculator slow speed and it should not be.
- Add a separation between the pixels (Suggestion from Jaime Meza)
- Sometimes the "busy" annunciator gets stuck
- Add KML script loading dependencies fallback to the inner ROM (and may be KML include?)
- Add haptic feedback when touch a button
- Add a true fullscreen mode under the status bar and the bottom buttons
- Improve the access to the menu
- Change the logo following the template


BUILD

Emu48 for Android is built with Android Studio 3.3 (2019).
And to generate an installable APK file with a real Android device, it MUST be signed.

Either use Android Studio:
* In menu "Build"
* Select "Generate Signed Bundle / APK..."
* Select "APK", then "Next"
* "Create new..." (or use an existing key store file)
* Enter "Key store password", "Key alias" and "Key password", then "Next"
* Select a "Destination folder:"
* Select the "Build Variants:" "release"
* Select the "Signature Versions:" "V1" (V1 only)
* Finish

Or in the command line, build the signed APK:
* In the root folder, create a keystore.jks file with:
** keytool -genkey -keystore ./keystore.jks -keyalg RSA -validity 9125 -alias key0
** keytool -genkeypair -v -keystore ./keystore.jks -keyalg RSA -validity 9125 -alias key0
* create the file ./keystore.properties , with the following properties:
    storeFile=../keystore.jks
    storePassword=myPassword
    keyAlias=key0
    keyPassword=myPassword
* gradlew build
* The APK should be in the folder app/build/outputs/apk/release

Then, you should be able to use this fresh APK file with an Android device.
