Hi,
what is (will be) the default way to include precompiled native shared
libraries in a Gradle build? It appears that the current NDK/native support
is tailored towards cases where the native code is compiled locally on
every build. There isn't any official documentation on how to integrate
native libraries from 3rd parties, which is a common use case as well.
we had a working "solution" up until 0.7 that would depend on standard
Maven artifacts which contain the shared libraries, e.g
artifact
-> libs/
-> armeabi/
-> libxxx.so
-> armeabi-v7a/
-> libxxx.so
and so on. We'd then depend on that artifact in the Android project's
Gradle build, with an additional task that extracts the contents of the
artifact to the local libs/ folder (yes, it's that bad...). This no longer
works.
After searching the web and getting some feedback from users, it appears
that the new way of doing things is to publish an .aar to the Maven
repository which has a new layout:
artifact.aar
-> AndroidManifest.xml
-> jni/armeabi/
-> libxxx.so
-> jni/armeabi-v7a
-> libxxx.so
Is this the "final form" for including native shared libs?
I understand that the dev tool team is overwhelmed with work, especially
with battling Gradle itself. But it would be really awesome if such changes
where documented in some way. A more detailed change log would go a long
way. The information above could only be found when reading through
comments on a Google+ post.
Thanks,
Mario
