ASFAIK Android manifest <uses-library> and java.lang.System.loadLibrary () are not related. Manifest <uses-library> references a pre- installed Java jar (hence that Java package name) that the application uses. System.loadLibrary loads a native (usally written in C) shared library (e.g., a dll on Windoze or a .so on linux). The native library is accessed from Java with JNI.
