Godroid Builder

Patched and namespaced builds of the Android Godot library.

This repo creates namespaced versions of godot-lib.template_release.aar with custom patches included.

Namespaces

The Java classes for the 3.x and 4.0-4.5 branches of godot are renamed to include the version number.

For example, a 3.x import becomes:

import org.godotengine.godotv3_x.FullScreenGodotApp;

Patches

Each branch has an "overlay" folder which is applied on-top of the clone from the main Godot repo. Each overlay includes patches for:

• Loading game assets from a hard-coded path inside /data/user/0/com.shipthis.go/files/assets
• Adjustments to work with the 16 KB Google Play compatibility requirement.
• Forwarding of all log messages to a WebSocket handler.
• Adaptations to work with Play Feature Delivery.
• Adaptations to work with the namespace.

Using

Add the ShipThis Godot library to your module's build.gradle.kts:

val godotVersion = "4.5"
val godotVersionDash = godotVersion.replace('.', '-')
val buildType = "debug" // or "release"

dependencies {
    implementation(
        "shipth.is:godot-lib-v$godotVersionDash:+:template-$buildType@aar"
    )
}

Notes

• godotVersion must match the Godot engine version your project targets.
• buildType should align with your app’s build variant (debug or release).
• The + version selector always resolves to the latest compatible build for that Godot version.
