Radiant-Wrapper

Radiant-Wrapper is a Docker image that allows you to generate APKs for Android. It's essentially a wrapper for python-for-android with all dependencies included. This tool has the ability to compile three kinds of projects:

1. Static HTML - Projects with an index.html file
2. Django Projects - Web applications built with Django
3. Python Projects - Any Python project that implements a main.py file

Installation

Pull the Docker image that includes the Android NDK and SDK:

docker pull dunderlab/radiant_p4a

Then install the Python package to use the wrapper command:

pip install radiant-wrapper

Usage

The radiant_p4a command replaces the standard p4a command and runs it inside the Docker container:

radiant_p4a.py apk --arch arm64-v8a

Project Types

Static HTML

If your project contains an index.html file, Radiant-Wrapper will automatically create a main.py file that sets up a simple HTTP server to serve your static files.
For a complete example of a static HTML project, see: https://github.com/dunderlab/radiant-html_template

Django Projects

If your project contains a Django application (identified by the presence of manage.py), Radiant-Wrapper will set up the necessary environment to run your Django app on Android.
For a complete example of a Django project, see: https://github.com/dunderlab/radiant-django_template

Python Projects with main.py

If your project already has a main.py file, Radiant-Wrapper will use it directly to build your Android application.

GitHub Workflow for Automated APK Generation

A GitHub workflow is available to automate the APK generation process. When added to your repository, this workflow will automatically build an Android APK for your project on every push or when manually triggered. The workflow handles all project types (Static HTML, Django, and Python with main.py) and uploads the generated APK as an artifact.

To use this workflow, copy the radiant_wrapper.yml file to your repository's .github/workflows/ directory.
