using Realm in Android project with armeabi support only

Question

I'm trying to use Realm. I setup the build.gradle and called Realm.init(context) on app start.

The problem is, the app crashes on launch.

Here's the log:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.test.android com.getkeepsafe.relinker.MissingLibraryException: lib/armeabi/librealm-jni.so
                                                                         at android.app.ActivityThread.handleBindApplication(ActivityThread.java:5406)

The project uses another library that only supports armeabi. that's why I added an abiFilter

ndk { abiFilters "armeabi" }

Adding other values in here will cause that library to crash.

Is there a way for me to use Realm for "armeabi" only?

Answer 1

I also faced the same issue.Just now solved it by adding this realm version to project level gradle classpath 'io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:6.0.0'

link here

Answer 2

Solved.

just to updated gradle classpath to classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:5.11.0"

 dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
    classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:5.11.0"

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files`enter code here`


}

I think your problem is that since Realm 2.0, armeabi support was removed, and only armeabi-v7 works (read change log: armeabi is not supported anymore).

There is an issue tracking it here.

However, you can still use Realm 1.2.0, which works just as well. You can refer to this guide for the breaking changes in 2.x so that you can revert that behavior, otherwise it works exactly the same.
