Hello, we’d like to use Filament (google’s renderer) on both platforms (Android and iOS). Is it correct we should use cinterop to create a filament.klib and use that? Or is there already something else out there to ease the process?

[Kris Wong]

Cinterop is specific to Kotlin/Native

[Kris Wong]

for Android you'll want a JAR/AAR

[Kris Wong]

also, it seems Filament is written in C++, not C

@Kris Wong can't you target android native too with KN?

[Kris Wong]

not at this time

Hi! One of the authors of Filament here :)

[romainguy]

We already provide AARs for Android and we do have iOS builds, but not C wrappers. The APIs are C++ although they are very easy to call from C (see the JNI layer)

[Kris Wong]

seems like it's not too much of a stretch to get it working for K/N and K/JVM, then

[Kris Wong]

will just have to maintain a C shim that covers the necessary APIs

[Kris Wong]

I have done exactly that for libPhoneNumber

[romainguy]

My plan is to use cppast to generate the C bindings

Salut Romain, sounds good! Do you plan on having it packaged as a KMP at some point or are you counting on us the community do it on top of the C bindings & co?
