This command installs files to:

You can further customize the installation location by setting additional CMake variables to override their defaults.

-```

Either using the SPIRV tools provided as part of the Android NDK, or using upstream sources.
-To build with SPIRV tools from the NDK, remove the build-android/third_party directory created by running update_external_sources_android.sh, (or avoid running update_external_sources_android.sh).
-Use the following script to build everything in the repository for Android, including validation layers, tests, demos, and APK packaging: This script does retrieve and use the upstream SPRIV tools.

Test and demo APKs can be installed on production devices with:
-```
-./install_all.sh [-s <serial number>]
-```
+

vkjson_info for Android is built as an executable for devices with root access.
To use, simply push it to the device and run it:
-```
-./build_all.sh
-adb push obj/local/<abi>/vkjson_info /data/tmp/
-adb shell /data/tmp/vkjson_info
-```
+
+ ./build_all.sh
+ adb push obj/local/<abi>/vkjson_info /data/tmp/
+ adb shell /data/tmp/vkjson_info
+
The resulting json file will be found in:
-```
-/sdcard/Android/<device_name>.json
-```
+
+ /sdcard/Android/<device_name>.json
To build, install, and run the Smoke demo for Android, run the following, and any prompts that come back from the script:
-```
-./update_external_sources.sh --glslang
-cd demos/smoke/android
-export ANDROID_SDK_HOME=<path to Android/Sdk>
-export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=<path to Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle>
-./build-and-install
-adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android-intent.category.LAUNCH -n com.example.Smoke/android.app.NativeActivity --es args "--validate"

The glslang repository is required to build and run Loader and Validation Layer components.
-It is not a git sub-module of Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers but Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers is linked to a specific revision of glslang.
