undefined reference to `__android_log_print'

Question

What is wrong with my make file?

Android.mk

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE    := foo
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := foo.c
LOCAL         


        

Answer 1

TO build with Android.bp, follow the below solution:

In this -android_log_print is defined in NDK, so for this, there is already a library is available. Use "liblog" library using shared_libs tag, take reference of the below code:

target: {
        android: {
            cppflags: [
                "-g",
                "-DUSE_LIBLOG",
            ],
            shared_libs: ["liblog"], // can use other dependency if required.
        },
        darwin: {
            enabled: false,
        },
    },  

Answer 2

You need to add

LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog

to Android.mk

Answer 3

If you use Android Studio and gradle, it ignores Android.mk. Add this to your build.gradle file:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ndk {
            moduleName "your_module_name"
            ldLibs "log"
        }
    }
}

Answer 4

If you upgrade to Android Studio 2.1, above answers do not work, need use ldLibs.add() to load the lib as below:

android.ndk {
    moduleName = "[the_module_name]"
    ldLibs.addAll(['android', 'log'])
}

Answer 5

In lieu with

If using the new Gradle NDK integration in Android Studio 1.3, you need to add ldLibs = ["android", "log"] to your android.ndk options – Stephen Kaiser Sep 24 at 4:20

use ldLibs.addAll(["android", "log"]) for the experimental plugin

Answer 6

Add

LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES:= \
        libbinder                       \
        liblog                          \

to Android.mk
