+# Android FFmpeg Builder
+A robust shell script to build FFmpeg libraries for Android. This script automatically builds FFmpeg shared libraries (.so files) for multiple Android architectures.
+
+## Current Features
+- Builds FFmpeg version 7.1 for Android
+- Supports multiple architectures (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86_64)
+- Minimal configuration focusing on core video/audio functionality
+- Optimized for size and performance
+- Automated build process
+- Pre-built binaries available in releases
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Required Tools
+- Android NDK
+- Build essentials (gcc, make)
+- YASM/NASM assembler
+- wget
+- pkg-config
+
+On Ubuntu/Debian:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc make yasm nasm pkg-config wget
+```
+
+On macOS:
+```bash
+brew install automake yasm nasm pkg-config wget
+```
+
+Android NDK Setup
+1. Download Android NDK from [Android's NDK page](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads)
+2. Extract it to a location (default: `/opt/android-ndk`)
+3. Update the `ANDROID_NDK_HOME` variable in the script if your NDK is installed elsewhere
+
+## Usage
+1. Clone this repository:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/husen-hn/android-ffmpeg-builder.git
+cd android-ffmpeg-builder
+```
+
+2. Make the script executable:
+```bash
+chmod +x build_ffmpeg.sh
+```
+
+3. Run the script:
+```bash
+./build_ffmpeg.sh
+```
+
+The built libraries will be in `android/project_libs/`:
+```
+android/project_libs/
+├── arm64-v8a/
+│   ├── libavcodec.so
+│   ├── libavformat.so
+│   ├── libavutil.so
+│   ├── libswresample.so
+│   └── libswscale.so
+├── armeabi-v7a/
+└── x86_64/
+```
+
+## Configurations
+The script builds FFmpeg with these configurations:
+- Shared libraries enabled
+- Static libraries disabled
+- Documentation disabled
+- Programs (ffmpeg, ffplay, ffprobe) disabled
+- Hardware acceleration disabled
+- Minimal codec support (h264, aac, mp3)
+- File protocol support
+- MP4 and MKV container support
