How to load native library on android?

Question

I've got a .so library, which I've extracted from an other APK.

I've copied it into /libs/armeabi location in my project.

In my class, I'm loading it with

static {
    System.loadLibrary("mylib"); 
}

The app crashes with

I'm doing this in eclipse.

Here's the screen of the layout of my project:

What should I do for this to start working?

Answer 1

rename mylib.so in libmylib.so, and run your programm again (without modify the loadLibrary argument)

Answer 2

"rename mylib.so in libmylib.so, and run your programm again (without modify the loadLibrary argument)" from blackbelt

The folder libs/armeabi-v7a should also contain the libmylib.so library. If your phone is a new one, he will check there for libraries.
