Oct 2018 - Fresh install of Android with fuse 1.9.0 on Windows 10 64bit

Hi there,

Some may have noticed that portions of the intro docs aren’t reflecting the current state of fuse; things are only this way because fusetools became fuse open and its now up to the community to make the difference. The fate of the world is literally in our hands now, haha, ok maybe not as dramatic and its not entirely only in our hands, a core bunch of fusetools guys are still maintaining the core pieces whilst working their day jobs, which are the main parts that allow an app to be built natively for iOS and Android. Other than that, its really up to the rest of us to build and share new components, native or high level (UX) components (which is actually awesomely quick to do, once you get the hang of it).

With that being said, I happened to have a clean Windows laptop and here’s my quick tutorial to get going on Windows 10:

Setup - perhaps in the next version of fuse, the install will have less steps…

  1. Download latest version of fuse and install:
    https://fuse-open.github.io/downloads

  2. Download and install latest Java Development Kit(JDK):
    https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

Setup4

  1. Open the command line and install android with fuse install android, enter to install and y to say yes to their agreements.
    (make sure you have good internet because its going to download a lot of android things)

Setup5

  1. Agree & Download NDK16b:
    https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases#ndk-16b-downloads

Setup52

  1. Extract the zip to your Android SDK directory, replace and rename the folder to ndk-bundle:
    C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Fusetools\Fuse\Android\AndroidSDK
    If you run into a “Path too long” error whilst extracting, you will need to extract with 7Zip:
    https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Export to your droid

  1. Open fuse and create a “New Example project”

Setup7

  1. Run cmd and navigate to your project folder location
    Setup8

  2. Plugin your android device and make sure that USB debugging is enabled.

  3. Export to your device by using fuse build --target=android --run

Setup6

You will now see a nice button on your device, that you can tap to animate and swipe to the left to see more :slight_smile:
