How to add external library in android studio with cmake?

Question

I am trying to link live555.so and .h files with an Android project using cMake. If i don\'t use absolute path i\'m getting error.

My cMake file:

Answer 1

${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} is the directory where the main CMakeList.txt file resides. That's typically app/src/main/cpp. You can work out the correct relative path now.

This means that you can simply write

include_directories( ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/../jniLibs/live555/include )

add_library( live555 SHARED IMPORTED )

set_target_properties( live555 PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LOCATION ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/../jniLibs/live555/lib/${ANDROID_ABI}/live555.so)
