What is this errors and How to solve this problem? This project works fine on my old laptop Ubuntu 14.04 LTS that using android studio 3.0

Answer 1

Mips is not supported anymore in Android NDK r17. I had the same problem and in my case it was caused by a dependency which contains a prebuilt mips native lib. I was able to fix the build error by excluding the mips files as follows in the main build.gradle:

android {
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'lib/mips64/NAME_OF_THE_LIB.so'
        exclude 'lib/mips/NAME_OF_THE_LIB.so'
    }
}

where NAME_OF_THE_LIB must be replaced by the actual name of the so file. You can find it by unzipping the apk of a previous successful build, if you have one.

Answer 2

You should check Android Studio configuration on you old PC and compare version of every position in Android SDK > SDK Tools:

In my case the main problem was with Android NDK. Apparently I've installed update to version 17 and that was causing problems. So what I did:

1. Remove everything from directory [android-sdk]\ndk-bundle\ or uninstall Android NDK in Android Studio\Sdk tools (see on the image above)
2. Close Android Studio (AS).
3. Download (in my case) NDK version 16b from https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases
4. Extract archive (10 directories and 8 files or so) to [android-sdk]\ndk-bundle\
5. Start AS and perform full refresh: Build > Refresh Linked C++ projects and Build > Rebuild project.

Hope it helps.
