How to get the path to the lib folder for an installed package

Question

Shared libraries .so files are placed in lib/armeabi in an apk file.

I have read after installation the libs gets extracted to /data/data/application_package/lib

And if you're using a native activity and C++:

void ANativeActivity_onCreate(ANativeActivity* app, void*, size_t) {
    const jclass contextClass = app->env->GetObjectClass(app->clazz);
    const jmethodID getApplicationContextMethod =
        app->env->GetMethodID(contextClass, "getApplicationContext", "()Landroid/content/Context;");
    const jobject contextObject =
        app->env->CallObjectMethod(app->clazz, getApplicationContextMethod);
    const jmethodID getApplicationInfoMethod = app->env->GetMethodID(
        contextClass, "getApplicationInfo", "()Landroid/content/pm/ApplicationInfo;");
    const jobject applicationInfoObject =
        app->env->CallObjectMethod(contextObject, getApplicationInfoMethod);
    const jfieldID nativeLibraryDirField = app->env->GetFieldID(
        app->env->GetObjectClass(applicationInfoObject), "nativeLibraryDir", "Ljava/lang/String;");
    const jobject nativeLibraryDirObject =
        app->env->GetObjectField(applicationInfoObject, nativeLibraryDirField);
    const jmethodID getBytesMethod = app->env->GetMethodID(
        app->env->GetObjectClass(nativeLibraryDirObject), "getBytes", "(Ljava/lang/String;)[B");
    const auto bytesObject = static_cast(app->env->CallObjectMethod(
        nativeLibraryDirObject, getBytesMethod, app->env->NewStringUTF("UTF-8")));
    const size_t length = app->env->GetArrayLength(bytesObject);
    const jbyte* const bytes = app->env->GetByteArrayElements(bytesObject, nullptr);
    const std::string libDir(reinterpret_cast(bytes), length);
