+== Building GDAL using Android NDK on Linux ==
+
+''' Warning! this is still a work in progress! '''
+
+
+This procedure was developed on a Linux system using Android NDK r5b.
+
+First, a standalone toolchain is created to make the configure script easier to use. (See android-ndk-r5b/docs/STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.html for more details)
+
+{{{
+~$ android-ndk-r5b/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-8 --install-dir=android-8-toolchain
+}}}
+
+Next, the toolchain's bin directory is added to the PATH.
+
+{{{
+~$ export PATH=$PATH:~/android-8-toolchain/bin/
+}}}
+
+From the GDAL source directory, configure for cross compiling and make.
+
+{{{
+gdal$ CC="arm-linux-androideabi-gcc" CXX="arm-linux-androideabi-g++" \
+CFLAGS="-mthumb" CXXFLAGS="-mthumb" LIBS="-lsupc++ -lstdc++"  ./configure --host=arm-linux-eabi --without-grib
+gdal$ make
+}}}
+
+== Next steps ==
+
+ * check if resulting libs are usable.
+ * build and adapt the Java swig bindings to expose GDAL to the Java portion of an Android application.
