Looked into compilation options required for the NFD. Will next look into the required libraries that are needed for the NFD. The next step is to attempt to import the required native files into the /jni folder of an Android project and use the Android NDK build tools to compile the NFD as a redistributable .so library file.

NFD and NRD are not able to run on an unrooted Android phone within a Process container. Using the nfdc tool, a route was registered with the following command:

nfdc register /ndn tcp4://131.179.196.46:6363 

Running nfs-status shows that the new RIB entry for the "/ndn" prefix is indeed recognized by the NFD running on localhost.

Following which, the Android NDNPing example application is modified by pointing the Face object's connection to that of the NFD running on the localhost. Running ping, receives a reply which shows that the NFD is working correctly.

Apologies for the typographic error. The first sentence in the earlier post was meant to read:

NFD and NRD are NOW able to run on an unrooted Android phone within a Process container.

Design of Android Service that runs NFD and NRD has been completed. See attached files for reference.

The following milestones as set out by this task has been achieved by the NFD Team:

  • install NFD on any stock, unrooted Android phone
  • start NFD as a service on Android
  • allow other apps to connect to NFD over TCP

It has been decided that local NDN enabled applications will communicate with the locally running Android NFD through use of TCP only. However, the NFD will continue to interface with the outside world through both TCP and UDP. A detailed presentation on the NFD Service and Application Interaction can be found at:
