Use 32-bit jni libraries on 64-bit android

Question

I\'ve tried running an application using a native library on the Nexus 9.

The application exits with an error message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError         


        

Answer 1

I encountered the same issue, when I did the update from Android Studio 2.1 to 2.2.3 (with ndk v.13.1), and no tips found in google really helped me (like using abiFilters, exclude 'lib/x86_64/lib….so’, LOCAL_MULTILIB := 32, or TARGET_PREFER_32_BIT := true, …).

Finally, I was able to make it worked again with the latest AS v2.2.3 (without changing anything in Android.mk or in build.gradle), just by using my previous ndk compiler, i.e. android-ndk-r10e

I built the library manually with ndk-build for "armeabi-v7a" and "x86" only, and it worked like a charm on Android with arm64.
