How to Add .So Files to an Android Library Project Using Gradle 0.7+

How can I add .so files to an android library project using gradle 0.7+

In the end I didnt need to use product flavours.

For the library project I added the following:

android {
    sourceSets {
        main {
            jniLibs.srcDirs = ['libs']
        }
    }        
}

The libs folder had a folder inside called "armeabi-v7a" and as this is my only target it worked a treat.

The ndk files (.so) are propagated into the android project that is using the android library project.

Add pre-built .so files in project using Android Gradle plugin 0.7.3

So how you can add the pre-built .so files ?

1) Upgrade your android studio to 0.4.0

2) Replace "distributionUrl=" in gradle-wrapper.properties with "distributionUrl=http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.9-all.zip"

3) Add/Replace your 'buildscript' section build.gradle with:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.3'
    }
} 

4)

5) Add the following in your build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 18
    buildToolsVersion "18.1.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 18
    }

    productFlavors {
        x86 {
            ndk {
                abiFilter "x86"
            }
        }
        arm {
            ndk {
                abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "armeabi"
            }
        }

    }

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
    }
}    

6) Build your project.

Adding a .so file in Android Studio

You can add pre built *.so files in Android Studio using gradle 0.7.2+. First create the jniLibs at this location /app/src/main/ location and copy the all the folder with *.so files (armeabi, armeabi-v7a, mips, x86) in the jniLibs.

Include .so library in apk in android studio

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.

Android Studio - include and consume .so library

Thank you guys for helping but it was a stupid problem. When I imported my .so files under jniLibs, they were named like libSONAME.so. In these lines of code:

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

we should not use System.loadLibrary("libSONAME");, but just System.loadLibrary("SONAME");.

Then, just build the project and everything was OK.

Thank you all for helping. I hope this will save time to someone else.
