ffi.load can't find a library on some Android devices

[Iori Branford]

I wish to use the game-music-emu library in a Love game by building it and exposing it with FFI. See MusicEmu.lua in gmetest.love.

For Android, this means building the library into the Love Android app. I added the gme code into the jni directory along with a simple Android.mk.

Code: Select all

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE    := libgme
FILE_LIST	:= $(wildcard $(LOCAL_PATH)/gme/*.cpp)
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(FILE_LIST:$(LOCAL_PATH)/%=%)

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

I put gmetest.love into the assets as game.love and built the app with SDK 6.0 (API 23), NDK r9d, and JDK8.

Then I tested on Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920V) with Android 6.0 and Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8013) with 4.1.2.
On SM-N920V it works perfectly. On GT-N8013 there's an error on starting:

Code: Select all

Cannot load library: load_library[1094]: Library 'libgme.so' not found

libgme.so does exist in the APK, in both lib/armeabi and lib/armeabi-v7a.

How can I use this library in a way that's compatible with all supported Android versions?

Solved, by preloading the library in the GameActivity.

Code: Select all

public class MyGameActivity extends GameActivity {
	@Override 
	protected String[] getLibraries() {
		String[] base = super.getLibraries();
		final String[] mine = { "gme" };
		String[] libs = new String[base.length + mine.length];

		System.arraycopy(base, 0, libs, 0, base.length);
		System.arraycopy(mine, 0, libs, base.length, mine.length);

		return libs;
	}
}

Can you send me the source from your computer? please I would like to see as I want to develop my own game.
