jni-curl-lib is a sample that shows you how to manage 3rd party C/C++ libraries with Android Studio.
This sample uses the Android Studio CMake plugin with external library support. It demos how to:
- include a pre-built static library (gmath) in your app
- include a pre-built shared library (gperf) in your app
The sample includes 2 modules:
- app -- imports a shared library (libgperf.so) and a static library (libgmath.a) from the
distribution
folder - gen-libs -- contains the source code and CMake build script for the gmath and gperf example libraries. The resulting binaries are copied into the
distribution
folder. By default, gen-libs module is disabled in setting.gradle and app/build.gradle, so it won't show up in Android Studio IDE. If re-generating lib is desirable, follow comments inside settings.gradle and app/build.gradle to enable this module, generate libs, then disable it again to avoid unnecessary confusion.
The main goal of the sample is to demo how to use 3rd party libs, it is not to demonstrate lib package generation. Toward that goal, the pre-built libs are included in the distribution
folder.
When importing libraries into your app, include the following in your app's CMakeLists.txt
file (in the following order):
- import libraries as static or shared(using
add_library
) - configure each library binary location(using
set_target_properties
) - configure each library headers location (using
target_include_directories
)
For shared libraries, notify gradle to pack them into APK. One simple way is to include the shared lib directory into application's jniLibs directory:
- jniLibs.srcDirs = ['../distribution/gperf/lib']
- Android Studio 3.0.0 with NDK bundle.
- Download Android Studio
- Launch Android Studio.
- Open the sample directory.
- Open File/Project Structure...
- Click Download or Select NDK location.
- Click Tools/Android/Sync Project with Gradle Files.
- Click Run/Run 'app'.
