No JNI_OnLoad found in ... skipping init

Question

I've been getting this message for the past day or so, and up until now it hasn't caused a problem. I got my code to run with my native library earlier but today I added a few new functions and again it will not work.

There are no errors displayed in LogCat, but my program just opens and closes instantly on my device. There is no message saying that the application has stopped unexpectedly, just a black flash across the screen.

I have looked around google and SO but there are SO many different reasons for this message to come up. Here is my LogCat :

08-03 10:44:50.186: D/dalvikvm(2143): Trying to load lib /data/data/my.eti.commander/lib/libRelayAPI.so 0x40514f58

08-03 10:44:50.186: D/dalvikvm(2143): No JNI_OnLoad found in /data/data/my.eti.commander/lib/libRelayAPI.so 0x40514f58, skipping init

What I would like to know is :

1) Is this No JNI_OnLoad message causing my program to not open?

2) If so, I know I have none of my code posted, but could someone explain the general idea of this message. Including what init it is skipping.

EDIT :

The new functions I added today were commented out when this happened. I had originally gotten a different error, and wanted to make sure my old code was still working.

Answer 1

The function JNI_OnLoad is not essential. Thus, if you have not provided this function, your program should run normally.

Your problem come from another part of your code. Try to use ndk-gdb to fix it.
