How to load another .so file in your android project?

Question

Our library should be created outside of our project and it should be called with in our project from outside? please give any suggestion."I already know how to create so file and all.But not able to call that .so file into a different android project".please help me..

As far as i understand you have to have jni binding with your library(.so file) from java. In usual case you should create a jar library file along with your .so library. — saiful103a, Nov 19 '13 at 04:51

Your questions looks like this question,

"I already know how to create so file and all.But not able to call that .so file into a different android project"

In another project, you should :

1 - Add folder jni/libs/*.so

2 - Use "Right-click mouse" -> Android Tools -> Add native support -> Set name of file *.cpp

3 - Two files : *.cpp and Android.mk appeared.

4 - Use Cygwin to build & compile *.so into the project.

enter image description here

p/s :

You should also define content in the file Android.mk exactly before built.
Application.mk is used to build to which folder.
APP_PLATFORM also important too, should define exactly.

Follow this image for more details, about the result.

Thanks,

p/s : When you have done, you can call file **.so* from folder jni by using the following code :

static {
    System.loadLibrary("ffmpeg");
}

DOWNLOAD .so FILE

It is where do you can download .so file while executing FFMPEG.

Never try before. You can try? – Huy Tower Mar 23 '15 at 00:38
@HuyTower I don't understand the command screenshot you have given here? Can you explain exactly how to use or write this command? I am confused here and can't seem to move forward here. Also, I am trying to find the option you suggested in step 2. I can't seem to find that option. Sorry I am new to development and trying to develop an application that has size issues due to Writing Minds library for FFMpeg – Kartik Nov 13 '19 at 06:58
@Kartik : Ah you need find out about ndk first, then you know which things need to build into *.so file as the answer. – Huy Tower Nov 14 '19 at 09:23
The answer is is very old, not applicable in android studio. – Ali Akram Mar 25 '23 at 17:43
