Googletest for Android NDK

Question

I checked a previous answer about unit test for Android, where it is suggested Googletest as a good option. However, I got a look into the Google C++ Testing Framework - Googlet

Answer 1

You need to built Googletest for Android to be able to run it with your toolchain, as you working with cross-compilation.

Download source code of googletest

$ cd googletest

Copy jni directory to googletest directory

$ cd /path/to/this/git
$ cp -r jni googletest/
