Provides an Android NDK build of SQLite with an optimized JSON data interface, with a low-level API for Cordova SQLite evcore plugin versions.

Based on liteglue / Android-sqlite-native-driver.

android-sqlite-evcore-ndk-driver-free provides build of a JAR with the following:

• single EVNDKDriver class with native Java interface to the needed C functions
• automatic build for current Android NDK targets (armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64, arm64-v8a) that is accessible from the native Java interface, with the following user defined functions:
  • REGEXP integrated from brodybits / sqlite3-regexp-cached (based on https://git.altlinux.org/people/at/packages/?p=sqlite3-pcre.git by Alexey Tourbin, public domain)
  • BASE64 and BLOBFROMBASE64 integrated from brodybits / sqlite3-base64, using brodybits / libb64-core (based on https://libb64.sourceforge.net/ by Chris Venter, public domain)

This is accomplished by using GlueGen around the C module.

Minimum API level: android-22 (Android 5.1)

NOTE: This project references multiple subprojects, which may be resolved by: $ make init (as described below).

WARNING: The reference handles that are returned by the EVNDKDriver library functions are raw C pointer values. If someone uses a reference handle that is not valid, or no longer valid with the EVNDKDriver library the behavior is undefined (may crash, for example). It is NOT recommended to use this API directly unless you really understand how this library works internally.

__3.40.0__

See the following reference for installing older android-ndk cask using Homebrew: https://www.jverdeyen.be/mac/downgrade-brew-cask-application/

To install android-ndk version r16b, for example:

brew cask install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/4570652dc6a3a8f7fd2be1053dd43547a2c78e26/Casks/android-ndk.rb

Note that homebrew-cask seems to have restored maintenance of the android-ndk cask, as discussed in Homebrew/homebrew-cask#58883.

New stable default page size and cache size (https://sqlite.org/pgszchng2016.html):

• -DSQLITE_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE=4096
• -DSQLITE_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE=-2000

• SQLite (https://sqlite.org/) - public domain
• brodybits / sqlite3-regexp-cached - based on https://git.altlinux.org/people/at/packages/?p=sqlite3-pcre.git by Alexey Tourbin, public domain
• brodybits / sqlite3-base64 - Unlicense (public domain) ref: https://unlicense.org/
• brodybits / libb64-core - based on https://libb64.sourceforge.net/ by Chris Venter, public domain

• Support direct query of BLOB type

FUTURE TBD/TODO:

• Automatic AAR build
• Document this project (again, perhaps in a blog post)
• Some more SQLite API functions will be needed to rebuild the native sqlcipher library to replace the native libraries in the @sqlcipher / android-database-sqlcipher (SQLCipher for Android) project.

Initialize with the subproject references:

$ make init

Then to build:

$ make

$ make regen
