-Requirements for building:
-==========================
--	Android NDK (tested with NDK 23), must be in the same location in which Android studio would unpack it (~/Android/Sdk/ndk/)
-	at least version 23
--	Android SDK build tools
-	version 30.0.3
--	ddnet-libs with Android libs
--	Java -- JDK 11+
--	7zip (for ddnet-libs building)
--	ninja
--	curl runtime
+Requirements for building for Android
+=====================================
 
-How to build:
-=============
--	run a terminal inside the source directory:
-	`scripts/android/cmake_android.sh <x86/x86_64/arm/arm64/all> <Game name> <Debug/Release>`
-	where the first parameter is the arch (all for all arches), the second is the apk name, which must be equal to the library name (if you want to rename the APK do it after the build)
-	and the third parameter which simply defines the build type
-	
--	if you build with a signing key for the APK
-	Generate one with
-	`keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias my-alias`
-	export environment variables for the script
+-	At least 10-15 GiB of free disk space.
+-	First follow the general instructions for setting up https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet for building on Linux.
+	This guide has only been tested on Linux.
+-	Install the Android NDK (version 26) in the same location
+	where Android Studio would unpack it (`~/Android/Sdk/ndk/`):
+	```shell
+	mkdir ~/Android
+	cd ~/Android
+	mkdir Sdk
+	cd Sdk
+	mkdir ndk
+	cd ndk
+	wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r26d-linux.zip
+	unzip android-ndk-r26d-linux.zip
+	unlink android-ndk-r26d-linux.zip
 	```
+-	Install the Android SDK build tools (version 30.0.3) in the same location
+	where Android Studio would unpack them (`~/Android/Sdk/build-tools/`):
+	```shell
+	# Assuming you already created the Android/Sdk folders in the previous step
+	cd ~/Android/Sdk
+	mkdir build-tools
+	cd build-tools
+	wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/build-tools_r30.0.3-linux.zip
+	unzip build-tools_r30.0.3-linux.zip
+	unlink build-tools_r30.0.3-linux.zip
+	mv android-11 30.0.3
+	```
+-	Install the Android command-line tools and accept the licenses using the SDK manager,
+	otherwise the Gradle build will fail if the licenses have not been accepted:
+	```shell
+	# Assuming you already created the Android/Sdk folders in the previous step
+	cd ~/Android/Sdk
+	mkdir cmdline-tools
+	cd cmdline-tools
+	wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-11076708_latest.zip
+	unzip commandlinetools-linux-11076708_latest.zip
+	unlink commandlinetools-linux-11076708_latest.zip
+	mv cmdline-tools latest
+	yes | latest/bin/sdkmanager --licenses
+	```
+-	Install cargo-ndk and add Android targets to rustup to build Rust with the Android NDK:
+	```shell
+	cargo install cargo-ndk
+	rustup target add armv7-linux-androideabi
+	rustup target add i686-linux-android
+	rustup target add aarch64-linux-android
+	rustup target add x86_64-linux-android
+	```
+-	Install OpenJDK 21:
+	```shell
+	sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk
+	```
+-	Install 7zip for building `ddnet-libs`:
+	```shell
+	sudo apt install p7zip-full
+	```
+-	Install ninja:
+	```shell
+	sudo apt install ninja-build
+	```
+-	Install curl:
+	```shell
+	sudo apt install curl
+	```
+-	*(macOS only)* Install coreutils so `nproc` is available:
+	```shell
+	brew install coreutils
+	```
+-	Build the `ddnet-libs` for Android (see below). Follow all above steps first.
+
+
+How to build the `ddnet-libs` for Android
+=========================================
+
+-	There is a script to automatically download and build all repositories,
+	this requires an active internet connection and can take around 30 minutes:
+	```shell
+	mkdir build-android-libs
+	scripts/compile_libs/gen_libs.sh build-android-libs android
+	```
+	**Warning**: Do not choose a directory inside the `src` folder!
+-	If you see several red error messages in the first few minutes,
+	abort the compilation with repeated Ctrl+C presses.
+	Examine the output and ensure that you installed the NDK to the correct location.
+-	After the script finished executing, it should have created a `ddnet-libs` directory
+	in your selected output folder, which contains all libraries in the correct directory
+	format and can be merged with the `ddnet-libs` folder in the source directory:
+	```shell
+	cp -r build-android-libs/ddnet-libs/. ddnet-libs/
+	```
+
+
+How to build the DDNet client for Android
+=========================================
+
+-	Open a terminal inside the `ddnet` project root directory and run the following:
+	```shell
+	scripts/android/cmake_android.sh <x86/x86_64/arm/arm64/all> <Game name> <Package name> <Debug/Release> <Build folder>
+	```
+	- The first parameter denotes the architecture.
+	  Use `all` to compile for all architectures.
+	  Note that all architectures will be compiled in parallel.
+	  For testing, only compile for one architecture initially to get readable output.
+	- The second parameter denotes the APK name, which must be equal to the library name.
+	  If you want to rename the APK, do it after the build.
+	- The third parameter denotes the package name of the APK.
+	- The fourth parameter denotes the build type.
+	- The fifth parameter denotes the build folder.
+-	Example to build only for `x86_64` architecture in debug mode:
+	```shell
+	scripts/android/cmake_android.sh x86_64 DDNet org.ddnet.client Debug build-android-debug
+	```
+-	To build a signed APK, generate a signing key and export environment variables before running the build script:
+	```shell
+	keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias my-alias
 	export TW_KEY_NAME=<key name>
 	export TW_KEY_PW=<key password>
 	export TW_KEY_ALIAS=<key alias>
 	```
-	so for example:
-	```
-	keytool -genkey -v -keystore Teeworlds.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias Teeworlds-Key
-	(it will prompt an input:)
-	Input keystore-password: mypassword
-	
-	export TW_KEY_NAME=Teeworlds.jks
-	export TW_KEY_PW=mypassword
-	export TW_KEY_ALIAS=Teeworlds-Key
-	scripts/android/cmake_android.sh all DDNet Release
-	```
-
-	You can also specify the build version code and build version string before running the build script, e.g.:
-	```
+-	By default, the version code and name of the APK will be determined automatically
+	based on the definitions in `src/game/version.h`.
+	You can also specify the build version code and name manually before running the build script, e.g.:
+	```shell
 	export TW_VERSION_CODE=20210819
 	export TW_VERSION_NAME="1.0"
 	```
-
-How to build the ddnet-libs for Android:
-========================================
--	There is a script to automatically download and build all repositories, this requires an active internet connection:
-	`scripts/compile_libs/gen_libs.sh <directory to build in> android`
-	Warning!: DO NOT CHOOSE A DIRECTORY INSIDE THE SOURCE TREE
-	
-	After the script finished executing it should have created a ddnet-libs directory which created all libs in the right directory format and can be merged with ddnet-libs in the source directory
+	The version code must increase for newer version in order for users to automatically update to them.
+	The version name is the string that will be displayed to the user, e.g. `1.2.3-snapshot4`.
+-	Example to build a signed APK in release mode for all architectures:
+	```shell
+	keytool -genkey -v -keystore Teeworlds.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias Teeworlds-Key
+	# It will prompt for the password, input for example "mypassword"
+	export TW_KEY_NAME=Teeworlds.jks
+	export TW_KEY_PW=mypassword
+	export TW_KEY_ALIAS=Teeworlds-Key
+	# Version code and name will be determined automatically
+	scripts/android/cmake_android.sh all DDNet org.ddnet.client Release build-android-release
+	```
+-	Note that you should only generate a signing key once (and make backups).
+	Users can only update apps automatically if the same package name and signing key have been used,
+	else they must manually uninstall the old app.
