I\'m trying to use the NDK with C++ and can\'t seem to get the method naming convention correct. my native method is as follows:
extern \"C\" {
JNIEXPORT voi
If your package name includes _ character, you should write 1(one) after _ character as shown below:
MainActivity.java
package com.example.testcpp_2;
native-lib.cpp
JNICALL
Java_com_example_testcpp_12_MainActivity_stringFromJNI(
An additional reason: Use LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES instead of LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES in android.mk. This stops the library from optimizing out unused API calls because the NDK cannot detect the use of the native bindings from java code.
I Faced the same problem, and in my case the reason was that I had underscore in package name "RFID_Test" I renamed the Package and it worked. Thanks user1222021
I had the same problem, but to me the error was in the file Android.mk. I had it:
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := A.cpp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := B.cpp
but should have this:
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := A.cpp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += B.cpp
note the detail += instead :=
I hope that helps.
There is a cpp example under apps in ndk: https://github.com/android/ndk-samples/blob/master/hello-gl2/app/src/main/cpp/gl_code.cpp
An additional cause for this error: your undecorated native method name must not contain an underscore!
For example, I wanted to export a C function named AudioCapture_Ping()
. Here is my export declaration in C:
JNI_EXPORT int Java_com_obsidian_mobilehashhost_MainActivity_AudioCapture_Ping(JNIEnv *pJniEnv, jobject object); //Notice the underscore before Ping
Here was my Java class importing the function:
package com.obsidian.mobileaudiohashhost;
...
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private native int AudioCapture_Ping(); // FAILS
...
I could not get Android to dynamically link to my native method until I removed the underscore:
JNI_EXPORT int Java_com_obsidian_mobilehashhost_MainActivity_AudioCapturePing(JNIEnv *pJniEnv, jobject object);
package com.obsidian.mobileaudiohashhost;
...
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private native int AudioCapturePing(); // THIS WORKS!
...
