## Sign the Android APK from CI
|
|
|
|
The [Github Actions Workflow](https://github.com/minetest/minetest/actions?query=workflow%3Aandroid+event%3Apush)
|
|
automatically produces an APK for each architecture.
|
|
Before installing them onto a device they however need to be signed.
|
|
|
|
This requires an installation of the Android SDK and `adb`.
|
|
```bash
|
|
.../android-sdk/build-tools/30.0.3/apksigner sign --ks ~/.android/debug.keystore \
|
|
app-arm64-v8a-release-unsigned.apk
|
|
# Enter 'android' (without quotes) when asked for a password
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the `debug.keystore` will not exist if you have never compiled an
|
|
Android app on your system (probably).
|
|
|
|
After that installing it will work:
|
|
```bash
|
|
adb install -r -d ./app-arm64-v8a-release-unsigned.apk
|
|
```
|

## How to get debug output from Minetest on Android
|
|
|
|
In case debug.txt isn't enough (e.g. when debugging a crash), you can get debug
|
|
output using logcat:
|
|
|
|
`adb logcat -s 'Minetest:*' '*:F'`
|
|
|
|
Note that you can do this even *after* the app has crashed,
|
|
since Android keeps an internal buffer.
|
|
|
|
A segmentation fault for example looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```

## Profiling Minetest on Linux
|
|
|
|
We will be using a tool called "perf", which you can get by installing `perf` or `linux-perf` or `linux-tools-common`.
|
|
|
|
For best results build Minetest and Irrlicht with debug symbols
|
|
(`-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo` or `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug`).
|
|
|
|
Run the client (or server) like this and do whatever you wanted to test:
|
|
```bash
|
|
perf record -z --call-graph dwarf -- ./bin/minetest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will leave a file called "perf.data".
|
|
|
|
You can open this file with perf built-in tools but much more interesting
|
|
is the visualization using a GUI tool: **[Hotspot](https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot)**.
|
|
It will give you flamegraphs, per-thread, per-function views and much more.
