How does an Android APK execute compiled native code using the Java Native Interface?

Using Android Studio 2.2 and higher, you can use the NDK to compile C and C++ code into a native library and package it into your APK using Gradle, the IDE’s integrated build system. Your Java code can then call functions in your native library through the Java Native Interface (JNI) framework.

Where is JNI folder in Android Studio?

  1. It should be app/src/main/jniLibs. – Mussa.
  2. @Mussa – yep you saved the days – . so arch dirs have to to go under app/src/main/jniLibs – kudos!
  3. Maybe you have to change your answer as Mussa said. My test is on Android Studio 1.5.
  4. just adding .
  5. So no need for compile files(‘…/libhello-jni.so’)?
