I've tried the solution presented in the accepted answer and it did not work for me. I wanted to share what DID work for me as it might help someone else. I've found this solution here.
Basically what you need to do is put your .so
files inside a a folder named lib
(Note: it is not libs
and this is not a mistake). It should be in the same structure it should be in the APK
file.
In my case it was:
Project:
|--lib:
|--|--armeabi:
|--|--|--.so files.
So I've made a lib folder and inside it an armeabi folder where I've inserted all the needed .so files. I then zipped the folder into a .zip
(the structure inside the zip file is now lib/armeabi/*.so) I renamed the .zip
file into armeabi.jar
and added the line compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
into dependencies {}
in the gradle's build file.
This solved my problem in a rather clean way.
To include native libraries you need:
To create jar file, use the following snippet:
task nativeLibsToJar(type: Zip, description: 'create a jar archive of the native libs') {
destinationDir file("$buildDir/native-libs")
baseName 'native-libs'
extension 'jar'
from fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '**/*.so')
into 'lib/'
}
tasks.withType(Compile) {
compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn(nativeLibsToJar)
}
To include resulting file, paste the following line into "dependencies" section in "build.gradle" file:
compile fileTree(dir: "$buildDir/native-libs", include: 'native-libs.jar')
I had the same problem. Check out the comment in https://gist.github.com/khernyo/4226923#comment-812526
It says:
for gradle android plugin v0.3 use "com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageApplication"
That should fix your problem.
