| Description: |
| The GVR Android SDK supports both Daydream and Cardboard, including a simple API |
| used for creating apps inserted into Cardboard viewers, and the more complex API |
| for supporting Daydream-ready phones and the Daydream controller. |
| |
| Local Modifications: |
| Due to binary size concern, we have decided to use a static shim library instead |
| of the shared library that comes with this checkout. The static libraries are |
| downloaded from a public storage through gclient sync. |
| For Version 1.10.0, we have two date: 6 Dec 2016 and 10 Feb 2017. The latter |
| version cherrypick a CL that fix a crash on K and L. |
| All JNI calls in the static library also needs to be manually registered. So |
| we have 3 jni related files. These files were generated by |
| base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py from Java files. Modifications to |
| these generated files are documented in the files. |
| In order to run automated end-to-end tests on VR features, VR Services |
| (com.google.vr.vrcore) and in some cases Daydream Home |
| (com.google.android.vr.home) need to be installed before running tests. These |
| are downloaded into test-apks/vr_services and test-apks/daydream_home, |
| respectively. The downloaded APKs are the release APKs that are or were |
| publicly available via the Play Store. |
| In order to run automated end-to-end tests that involve a Daydream controller, |
| controller_test_api.aar needs to be present. This allows us to send controller |
| events using broadcasts like a real controller sends them over Bluetooth. The |
| library is open-sourced similar to the other .aars, but since it's only useful |
| for Chromium at the moment, it is uploaded to storage instead of to GitHub like |
| the GVR SDK. |
