Samba Documents Provider

Overview

This is an Android app that extends the built in File Manager to support connecting to SMB file shares.

This app is built on top of Samba 4.5.1.

Setup

Prerequisite

Android SDK and NDK r13b or above are required to build this app. Android Studio is highly recommended.

Check out Samba Documents Provider code into a folder called SambaDocumentsProvider to avoid Android Studio module name change.

Build Steps

  1. Download and unarchive Samba 4.5.1 source code.
  2. Change directory to the root of Samba source code.
  3. Create a git repository.
  4. Run git apply <path_to_samba_documents_provider_source>/sambapatch.diff.
  5. Modify configure.sh to change $NDK to point to your NDK folder.
  6. Uncomment corresponding flags in configure.sh to compile for different architecture. Uncomment flags for ARMv7 in addition to 32-bit ARM to compile it for ARMv7.
  7. Run configure.sh to configure Samba project.
  8. Run compile.sh to compile libsmbclient.so.
  9. Run install.sh <path_to_samba_documents_provider_source>/app/src/main/jniLibs/<ABI>.
  10. Change directory to SambaDocumentsProvider source code.
  11. Run mv app/src/main/jniLibs/<ABI>/includes app/src/main/cpp/samba_includes.
  12. Change directory to the root of Samba source code and run make distclean.
  13. Repeat step 6-12 for all desired ABI's.
  14. Make sure to change app's build.gradle to include only ABI's that Samba was built for in previous steps.
  15. Compile SambaDocumentsProvider.
