Answer 1

I believe you're looking at the wrong documentation. On this page: https://developer.here.com/documentation there are two versions of the HERE Android Mobile SDK listed, SDK for Android Starter and SDK for Android Premium. You are looking at the documentation for Starter when I think you want Premium.

The Premium SDK has a native library component which needs to be included in the build. Try this page: https://developer.here.com/mobile-sdks/documentation/android-hybrid-plus/topics/app-simple-android-studio.html ("Add HERE SDK Libraries to Your Project" section)

Specifically, I believe these are the sections you missed:

• From the directory where you installed the HERE SDK, copy the contents of the HERE-sdk/libs/armeabi-v7a folder to your project's app/src/main/jniLibs/armeabi folder. You need to create the jniLibs and armeabi subfolders.

• Within the same section in your AndroidManifest.xml file, add the following lines:

UPDATE

As of HERE SDK version 3.3 the SDK is delivered as an Android Archive (AAR) file. Therefore, you no longer need to manually copy the native libraries as mentioned in the first bullet above. You can simply include the AAR file in your build.gradle file. e.g.:

// Assuming you have placed the HERE-sdk.aar in a folder 'libs'
repositories {
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}

dependencies {
   ...
   compile(name: 'HERE-sdk', ext: 'aar')
   ...
}
