Build Docs

api_domain

name string, The name of the module. Must be unique across all modules.

arch interface

cc_api_contributions list of string, cc library contributions (.h files/.map.txt) of this API domain This dependency is a no-op in Soong, but the corresponding Bazel target in the api_bp2build workspace will provide a `CcApiContributionInfo` provider

compile_multilib string, control whether this module compiles for 32-bit, 64-bit, or both. Possible values are "32" (compile for 32-bit only), "64" (compile for 64-bit only), "both" (compile for both architectures), or "first" (compile for 64-bit on a 64-bit platform, and 32-bit on a 32-bit platform).

debug_ramdisk bool, Whether this module is installed to debug ramdisk

device_specific bool, whether this module is specific to a device, not only for SoC, but also for off-chip peripherals. When set to true, it is installed into /odm (or /vendor/odm if odm partition does not exist, or /system/vendor/odm if both odm and vendor partitions do not exist). This implies `soc_specific:true`.

⊕dist Dist

configuration to distribute output files from this module to the distribution directory (default: $OUT/dist, configurable with $DIST_DIR)

targets list of string, Copy the output of this module to the $DIST_DIR when `dist` is specified on the command line and any of these targets are also on the command line, or otherwise built

dest string, The name of the output artifact. This defaults to the basename of the output of the module.

dir string, The directory within the dist directory to store the artifact. Defaults to the top level directory ("").

suffix string, A suffix to add to the artifact file name (before any extension).

append_artifact_with_product bool, If true, then the artifact file will be appended with _<product name>. For example, if the product is coral and the module is an android_app module of name foo, then the artifact would be foo_coral.apk. If false, there is no change to the artifact file name.

tag string, A string tag to select the OutputFiles associated with the tag. If no tag is specified then it will select the default dist paths provided by the module type. If a tag of "" is specified then it will return the default output files provided by the modules, i.e. the result of calling OutputFiles("").

dists list of Dist, a list of configurations to distribute output files from this module to the distribution directory (default: $OUT/dist, configurable with $DIST_DIR)

enabled bool, emit build rules for this module Disabling a module should only be done for those modules that cannot be built in the current environment. Modules that can build in the current environment but are not usually required (e.g. superceded by a prebuilt) should not be disabled as that will prevent them from being built by the checkbuild target and so prevent early detection of changes that have broken those modules.

host_required list of string, names of other modules to install on host if this module is installed

init_rc list of string, init.rc files to be installed if this module is installed

java_api_contributions list of string, java library contributions (as .txt) of this API domain This dependency is a no-op in Soong, but the corresponding Bazel target in the api_bp2build workspace will provide a `JavaApiContributionInfo` provider

licenses list of string, Describes the licenses applicable to this module. Must reference license modules.

multilib interface

native_bridge_supported bool, Whether this module is built for non-native architectures (also known as native bridge binary)

owner string, vendor who owns this module

product_specific bool, whether this module is specific to a software configuration of a product (e.g. country, network operator, etc). When set to true, it is installed into /product (or /system/product if product partition does not exist).

⊕product_variables.always_use_prebuilt_sdks

⊕enabled

⊕product_variables.debuggable

⊕init_rc

proprietary bool, whether this is a proprietary vendor module, and should be installed into /vendor

ramdisk bool, Whether this module is installed to ramdisk

recovery bool, Whether this module is installed to recovery partition

required list of string, names of other modules to install if this module is installed

soc_specific bool, whether this module is specific to an SoC (System-On-a-Chip). When set to true, it is installed into /vendor (or /system/vendor if vendor partition does not exist).

system_ext_specific bool, whether this module extends system. When set to true, it is installed into /system_ext (or /system/system_ext if system_ext partition does not exist).

target interface

⊕target.android

compile_multilib string

⊕target.host

compile_multilib string

target_required list of string, names of other modules to install on target if this module is installed

vendor bool, whether this module is specific to an SoC (System-On-a-Chip). When set to true, it is installed into /vendor (or /system/vendor if vendor partition does not exist). Use `soc_specific` instead for better meaning.

vendor_ramdisk bool, Whether this module is installed to vendor ramdisk

vintf_fragments list of string, VINTF manifest fragments to be installed if this module is installed

visibility list of string, Controls the visibility of this module to other modules. Allowable values are one or more of these formats:


 ["//visibility:public"]: Anyone can use this module.
 ["//visibility:private"]: Only rules in the module's package (not its subpackages) can use
     this module.
 ["//visibility:override"]: Discards any rules inherited from defaults or a creating module.
     Can only be used at the beginning of a list of visibility rules.
 ["//some/package:__pkg__", "//other/package:__pkg__"]: Only modules in some/package and
     other/package (defined in some/package/*.bp and other/package/*.bp) have access to
     this module. Note that sub-packages do not have access to the rule; for example,
     //some/package/foo:bar or //other/package/testing:bla wouldn't have access. __pkg__
     is a special module and must be used verbatim. It represents all of the modules in the
     package.
 ["//project:__subpackages__", "//other:__subpackages__"]: Only modules in packages project
     or other or in one of their sub-packages have access to this module. For example,
     //project:rule, //project/library:lib or //other/testing/internal:munge are allowed
     to depend on this rule (but not //independent:evil)
 ["//project"]: This is shorthand for ["//project:__pkg__"]
 [":__subpackages__"]: This is shorthand for ["//project:__subpackages__"] where
     //project is the module's package. e.g. using [":__subpackages__"] in
     packages/apps/Settings/Android.bp is equivalent to
     //packages/apps/Settings:__subpackages__.
 ["//visibility:legacy_public"]: The default visibility, behaves as //visibility:public
     for now. It is an error if it is used in a module.

If a module does not specify the `visibility` property then it uses the `default_visibility` property of the `package` module in the module's package. If the `default_visibility` property is not set for the module's package then it will use the `default_visibility` of its closest ancestor package for which a `default_visibility` property is specified. If no `default_visibility` property can be found then the module uses the global default of `//visibility:legacy_public`. The `visibility` property has no effect on a defaults module although it does apply to any non-defaults module that uses it. To set the visibility of a defaults module, use the `defaults_visibility` property on the defaults module; not to be confused with the `default_visibility` property on the package module. See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/soong/+/master/README.md#visibility for more details.

buildinfo_prop

buildinfo_prop module generates a build.prop file, which contains a set of common system/build.prop properties, such as ro.build.version.*. Not all properties are implemented; currently this module is only for microdroid.

name string, The name of the module. Must be unique across all modules. Default: buildinfo.prop
