How Get rid of NDK compiler warning: “APP_PLATFORM is larger..” and “Invalid package”

Question

I have the following Application.mk

APP_PLATFORM := android-9
APP_STL := gnustl_static
APP_CPPFLAGS := -frtti -fexceptions -O2 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp
         


        

Answer 1

For NDK rev r9 (works in others too but line# may differ)

${NDK}/build/core/add-application.mk line 138

add "#" at start of the line.

# $(call __ndk_info,WARNING: APP_PLATFORM $(APP_PLATFORM) is larger than android:minSdkVersion $(APP_MIN_PLATFORM_LEVEL) in $(APP_MANIFEST))

One character, 30 second fix ... go debug native code.

Answer 2

You can fix this by performing the following steps in Eclipse:

• Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Settings
• Select CDT GNU C/C++ Error Parser
• In the Error Parser options at the bottom, add a new entry with the following contents:

Severity: Warning

Pattern: (.?):(\d+): Android NDK: WARNING:(.)

File: $1

Line: $2

Description: $3

That should convert this to a warning, and you can choose to ignore this as well - depending on the severity it will show up in the Problems view.

Answer 3

Regarding "package", this is most likely some crlf problem with your XML file. Check the line end characters there. Or, maybe something is wrong in your project.properties file.

The APP_PLATFORM warning is actually correct: your APP_PLATFORM (android-14) is larger than android:minSdkVersion you set in AndroidManifest.xml. This is only a warning to remind you about this (legitimate) situation, so that at certain stage you decide to drop support for very dated devices.
