It introduces an `android` directory under `qt` and a simple way to build an Android package of `bitcoin-qt`: 1. Build depends for Android as described in the [README](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/README.md) 2. Configure with one of the resulting prefixes 3. Run `make && make apk` in `src/qt` The resulting APK files will be in `android/build/outputs/apk`. You can install them manually or with [adb](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb). One can also open the `android` directory in Android Studio for that integrated development and debugging experience. `BitcoinQtActivity` is your starting point. Under the hood makefile `apk` target: 1. Renames the `bitcoin-qt` binary to `libbitcoin-qt.so` and copies it over to a folder under `android/libs` depending on which prefix and corresponding [ABI](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis.html#sa) `bitcoin-qt` was built for 2. Takes `libc++_shared.so` from the Android NDK and puts in the same place. It [must be included](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpp-support) in the APK 3. Extracts Qt for Android Java support files from the `qtbase` archive in `depends/sources` to `android/src` There is also just a tiny bit of `ifdef`'d code to make the Qt Widgets menus usable. It's not pretty but it works and is a stepping stone towards https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16883.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
