My preferred API for cross-language integration is SWIG.
While there are many tutorials available to explain how to create an integrated Android Studio project that includes java and native C++, I struggled to find one that treated the two components separately.
Here is my solution.
Build The Library From The Sources
I used Window 10 as the main development environment and Android Studio for the main application building however I found that it was easier to build the library on the command line under Cygwin.
Install Android Studio from here : https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html
Install NDK, CMake and LLDB from within Android Studio using :
File | Settings | SDK Tools
Then tick the boxed and click OK
When you try to build a C program that includes header files such as stdio.h you will receive an error message along the lines of :
/home/John/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/sysroot/usr/include/linux/types.h:21:10: fatal error: 'asm/types.h' file not found
#include <asm/types.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
The solution is here : https://github.com/android-ndk/ndk/issues/510
Modify setup-toolchain.mk as follows :
--- a/build/core/setup-toolchain.mk
+++ b/build/core/setup-toolchain.mk
@@ -152 +152 @@
- -isystem $(SYSROOT_INC)/usr/include/$(header_triple_$(TARGET_ARCH))
+ -isystem $$(call host-path,$(SYSROOT_INC)/usr/include/$(header_triple_$(TARGET_ARCH)))
Open up a Cygwin command prompt and cd to the folder with the library source. Set the path environment variables to the tools :
export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Users/John/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/windows-x86_64
export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Users/John/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/build
Build an application or library :
ndk-build NDK_PROJECT_PATH=$(pwd) APP_BUILD_SCRIPT=$(pwd)/Android.mk
That should generate the .so and all the necessary .java wrapper files.
Adding The Library To An Android Studio Project
For my project, I started with the simple GraphView (http://www.android-graphview.org/) application : described in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbTvJZX0UDk. The source code is available here : https://github.com/mitchtabian/CreateSimpleGraphView. Thanks Mitch for the great tutorial.
Added to app/build.gradle
sourceSets.main {
jni.srcDirs = [] // This prevents the auto generation of Android.mk
jniLibs.srcDir 'siglib_wrap' // Import precompiled libraries in your project.
}
copy full SWIG installation, from above, to : project/app/src/main/java/com/numerix_dsp/siglib_wrap
copy .so to : project/app/src/main/jniLibs
