Gomobile bind-target=android Golang.org/x/mobile/example/bind/hello

D:\go\src\golang.org\x\mobile\example\bind>gomobile bind-target=android./hello

git clone https://github.com/golang/mobile.git

• Download
  $ go Get golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gomobile

• Installation (requires a few minutes to wait)
  Gomobile Init

3. There are two ways to develop mobile apps Golang

A. Native application development

$ go get-d golang.org/x/mobile/example/basic

• Main application areas:

  • application control management and configuration
  • OpenGL ES 2 bindings
  • Asset Management
  • Event Management
  • the package in the experiment contains openal bindings, audio, fonts, graphics, and motion sensors

• Android Development

  • $ gomobile build-target=android Golang.org/x/mobile/example/basic
    This command generates an APK installation package named Basic

  • $ gomobile Install Golang.org/x/mobile/example/basic
    This command installs the APK package to the connected Android device

• iOS development

  • $ gomobile Build-target=ios Golang.org/x/mobile/example/basic
    This command generates an app installation package called Basic

  • Download iOS install Package command-line tool-Ios-deploy
    $ ios-deploy-b Basic.app
    This command installs the app file to an enabled iOS emulator or to a connected iOS device

B. Hybrid binding development

$ go get-d golang.org/x/mobile/example/bind/...

• Benefits
  • Go code reuse
  • share common Go code in Android and iOS development by calling the bound Golang package name

• Restrictions

  • only some go types currently supported
  • binding between languages has performance overhead
