Make ews-cpp build and run for Android NDK

[kmorrissey-mersive]

We would like to use ews-cpp on a device that runs Linux/Android. Android NDK C++ libraries do not have std::to_string() and a few other functions that ews-cpp counts on. I made some minor localized changes to ews-cpp to correct for the missing functions. How do I go about submitting the changes for consideration?

Hi Karen!

Android support would be a great addition and I would definitely like to merge any changes in that direction.

How do I go about submitting the changes for consideration?

Well, just the normal "GitHub flow": Make sensible commits in a separate branch, publish that branch in your fork on GitHub, and, once you think its complete, open a new pull request.

Would be nice if we could support Android NDK in our CI matrix. AFAIK, only Android SDK is supported in Travis CI builds.

CircleCI apparently pre-installs Android NDK.

I made a pull request with the Android NDK changes (plus a few others). I did something wrong in how I managed my repo/threads, and the pull request has some changes you should already have. You might not want to merge yet, because when looking at the pull changes, I see some things I may have done wrong.

One thing I was trying to fix was that on Windows VC++ under VS2012 (which we are stuck using for now) min(a,b) and max(a,b) are macros unless NOMINMAX is #defined. I can imagine some people not wanting ews-cpp to require that NOMINMAX be defined, but I don’t know how else to do it. Do you have any thoughts?

Seems like there is no libcurl for Android NDK.

[kmorrissey-mersive]

That’s not true. We use libcurl in Android NDK programs. I’m using ews-cpp right now under NDK.

You're probably absolutely right. I'm totally new to Android.

We have been running with a private, modified copy of EWS-CPP in our product. Didn't do it right the first time, so we have fallen far behind in keeping up with EWS-CPP changes. We are now setting up a proper fork and will reintegrate our Android NDK changes so we can do a usable pull request. We will be another customer for OAuth; a lot of our users use our product to access O365.

Cool. Awesome news!

@kmorrissey-mersive Did you made progress with the Android NDK integration? Did the changes for OAuth2 work for you? I realized that there needs more to be done, if the client sits behind a proxy (see #172).
