Post Bug 1220476, we can skip installing an Android NDK during |mach bootstrap| for front-end (--disable-compile-environment, |mach artifact| based) builds entirely. This ticket tracks offering such build configurations during |mach bootstrap|, not installing the NDK for Android builds, and printing an appropriate mozconfig for this configuration. Bug 1207888 and Bug 1207890 block doing this for Desktop builds.
This is a [good next bug] for a Python developer.

Firefox for Android", like: """ Do you want to modify just Firefox for Android, or do you want to modify the Gecko platform? The Firefox for Android front-end is built using Java, the Android Platform SDK, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. If you want to work on the look-and-feel of Firefox for Android, this is what you want. Firefox for Android is built on top of the Gecko technology platform. Gecko is Mozilla's web rendering engine, similar to Edge, Blink, and WebKit. Gecko is implemented in C++ and JavaScript. If you want to work on web rendering, this is what you want. If you don't know what you want, start with just the Firefox for Android front-end -- your builds will be much shorter than if you build Gecko as well. But don't worry! You can always switch configurations later. 1. Just the Firefox for Android front-end front-end ** Java and JavaScript ** short builds ** use IntelliJ or Android Studio 2. The Gecko platform and Firefox for Android platform ** C++ ** long builds ** use your text editor """ If the user selects 1, then don't install the Android NDK at all, and offer only the --disable-compile-environment mozconfig, with object directory 'objdir-frontend'. If the user selects 2, then do install the NDK, and offer the existing mozconfig with object directory 'objdir-droid'.

Comment on attachment 8684960 [details] [diff] [review] fourth.patch Review of attachment 8684960 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- The messages are good, but you're installing the NDK first, and then asking if it should be used. The NDK is about 500Mb, so we don't want to install it at all if we're not going to use it. (People on bad networks will appreciate the savings.) So look at the code around https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/python/mozboot/mozboot/bootstrap.py#123 and add a second choice *before* doing the installations. You'll need to ferry the information around. It might be easier to add a *new* application type -- mobile_android_artifact_mode, say -- that knows what to do.

Need some clarification on how to do this : ""add a second choice *before* doing the installations. You'll need to ferry the information around. It might be easier to add a *new* application type -- mobile_android_artifact_mode, say -- that knows what to do.""
(In reply to Harshit Bansal from comment #5) > Need some clarification on how to do this : > ""add a second choice *before* doing the installations. You'll need to > ferry the information around. It might be easier to add a *new* application > type -- mobile_android_artifact_mode, say -- that knows what to do."" If you look at https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/python/mozboot/mozboot/bootstrap.py#30, you'll see a map of application name (Firefox for Android) to identifier (mobile_android). We then use that identifier to call the right functions, see: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/python/mozboot/mozboot/bootstrap.py#137 and https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/python/mozboot/mozboot/bootstrap.py#145. So you might add another application name (Firefox for Android, artifact mode) and another identifier (mobile_android_artifact_mode), and the appropriate functions. That would implement this choice. Then we could work on showing better messaging to explain the choices. Alternately, you could add another prompt *inside* the mobile_android logic branches, asking whether to build in artifact mode. I think I prefer the earlier approach (new application name and identifier) because we're going to want to support this for Desktop (non-Android) builds eventually.

Comment on attachment 8688579 [details] [diff] [review] fourth.patch Review of attachment 8688579 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Harshit -- sorry for the delayed review. Lots to do and I'm behind on my queue. This patch is looking much better! I see you've added a flag to `ensure_android_sdk_and_ndk`, and then duplicated the `install_mobile_android*packages` functions. I think this is reversed; you want the flag to be at the `install_mobile_android*` layer. So: * split `ensure_android_sdk_and_ndk` into `ensure_android_sdk` and `ensure_android_ndk`; * make an `install_mobile_android` function that takes the flag and conditionally does the android_sdk and android_ndk things; * use the helper function above in the two `install_mobile_android*` functions. Great progress!

Otherwise, you seem to have very strong Python skills. Are you familiar with the build system? I have a couple of tickets to improve the Fennec build system. One is purging some unused and crufty code; it's straight-forward but requires an attention to detail. The other is to improve some preprocessing and simple `mobile/android/base/Makefile.in`.
