I am building an app using Bitcoinj and I am trying to run it on a Nexus 5. When using grade to build Bitcoinj - compile 'org.bitcoinj:bitcoinj-core:0.12' - and subsequently running the app on the phone, I receive this error...

"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS]"

Does anyone have any idea why this is, or how to fix it?

Thanks,

Dan.

When trying to run an android app that uses the BitcoinJ library for Nexus 5, with the latest android version 5.0 (Lollipop) you will get this error message "INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS". The main reason is that you are trying to install an app that has native libraries and it doesn't have a native library for your cpu architecture.

The native library that did the problem was Scrypt.jar so I excluded it

    compile('com.google:bitcoinj:0.11.3') {
    exclude module: 'scrypt'
}

and instead of using

com.lambdaworks.crypto.SCrypt;

just use another scrypting library for instance,

org.spongycastle.crypto.generators.SCrypt;

Good Luck

  • Can you please elaborate on "use `org.spongycastle.crypto.generators.SCrypt`". My problem is that all the `bitcoinj` related files containing `com.lambdaworks.crypto.SCrypt` are locked in Android Studio and I can't change them. – src091 Jun 11 '15 at 16:05

    @Anton you cannot change compiled files/libraries using android studio (unless you use NDK to re-compile) AFAIK. Another solution is to rewrite specific files that uses _lambdaworks.crypto.SCrypt_ and just replace the import to _org.spongycastle.crypto.generators.SCrypt_. – Firass Obaid Jun 14 '15 at 13:22
