Android Studio JNI build Error with cmake

I want to build the JNI with android studio so that I can use .so file.
I used the Cmake for it but when I build the JNI, I got the built error.

I think your error is related in NDK version.
I checked your build.gradle and there is no issue.
Please download the android-ndk-r16b and set the new NDK Location.
File / Project Structure / SDK Location
I hope it will work for you.

I have experienced in Buiding the JNI. You should try the following actions
Create the new project as Native C++.
Insert your code and try again.
This solved my issue

incompatible target while building apk for Native Android Project

I am trying to implement Alexa Voice Service SDK in Android.
I have pre-build libraries, which i am using in my Android Project.
I have .so files under src/main/jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/*.so
I can successfully compile and build apk for x86 platform , but my target is run it on armeabi-v7a device.
but while generating apk i am facing the incompatible target error.
the full error is shown below ,
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:

.../armeabi-v7a/libSampleApp.so: incompatible target
That library isn't actually built for armeabi-v7a. The following should tell you what it is:
$ file /root/AndroidStudioProjects/alexaProtoApp/app/src/main/cpp/../../main/jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libSampleApp.so
Here's example output from libc++_shared.so in the NDK:
$ file android-ndk-r21-canary/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-androideabi/libc++_shared.so
android-ndk-r21-canary/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-androideabi/libc++_shared.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=4dc00a833014c1ddd2e1ec64c5dd72237c4179ee, with debug_info, not stripped
The interesting part is:
ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV)

I got the solution, it is very unusual for me , the .so files which were generating while compiling, were not getting replaced. the old version of the files were not getting updated by the new ones. I deleted the folder and then compiled and the new files generated were the proper ones.

Undefined reference when calling a OpenCL function in Android

I am trying to set a simple project in Android Studio with OpenCL. So I created a new project with NDK support and an empty activity. I have copied the libOpenCL.so from my mobile phone to the folder app\src\main\jniLibs\arm8 and I have downloaded the OpenCL headers from the Khronos webpage and copied them to app\src\main\jni\CL. Furthermore, I have done two modifications to the build.gradle file, I have added a parameter to the cppFlags to include the OpenCL folder and I have set an abi filter to build only for arm8. I copy my build.gradle file here:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "es.um.mompes.testopencl"
minSdkVersion 22
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
cppFlags "-std=c++11 -fexceptions -I${projectDir}/src/main/jni"
}
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
path "CMakeLists.txt"
}
}
productFlavors {
arm8 {
ndk {
abiFilter "arm64-v8a"
}
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
I have also added a three lines to the generated native-lib.cpp file to test if OpenCL is working. This is my native-lib.cpp:
#include <jni.h>
#include <string>
#include <CL/cl.h>
extern "C"
JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL
Java_es_um_mompes_testopencl_MainActivity_stringFromJNI(
JNIEnv *env,
jobject /* this */) {
std::string hello = "Hello from C++";
cl_int err;
// Find the number of OpenCL platforms
cl_uint num_platforms;
err = clGetPlatformIDs(0, NULL, &num_platforms);
return env->NewStringUTF(hello.c_str());
}
However, I must be missing something because I am getting an undefined reference error regarding the OpenCL function when I build the project. This is the complete error:
Execution failed for task ':app:externalNativeBuildArm8Debug'.
Build command failed.

Do you know what am I missing? I've searching for a few hours over the last two days about how to setup OpenCL in Android Studio but everything I find seems to be outdated and doesn't seem to work for my problem.

Look for Android.mk under jni folder. Then add this:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir) // should already be there
.
.
LOCAL_LDLIBS := $(LOCAL_PATH)/libOpenCL.so
This example takes the libOpenCL.so from the jni root but you can change this for your needs.
Reference: Getting Started with OpenCL on Android

I would recommend you replace the automatic Android Studio NDK building with your own so you have total control.
Then you can use #RonTLV answer to add the library to the Android.mk and have a proper build.
Android Studio by default ignores Android.mk and generates its own with all the .c/.cpp files in the jni folder.
sourceSets {
debug.jniLibs.srcDir 'src/main/obj/local' //debug builds have symbols
release.jniLibs.srcDir 'src/main/libs' //release builds have cleaned libraries
main.jni.srcDirs = [] //disable automatic ndk-build call with auto-generated Android.mk
}
// call regular ndk-build script manually
task ndkBuild(type: Exec) {
if (System.properties['os.name'].toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT).contains('windows')) {
commandLine 'ndk-build.cmd', '-j8', '-C', file('src/main').absolutePath
} else {
commandLine 'ndk-build', '-j8', '-C', file('src/main').absolutePath
}
}
//Make the NDK task depend on Java build Task
tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn ndkBuild
}

What is the problem really is and how can I solve it?

Based on my understanding the problem could be solved by using a different C++ Library.
Currently you are specifying the following within the build.gradle file:
arguments "-DANDROID_STL=system"
Which, as stated within the following documentation, is:
system: The minimal system C++ runtime library and the default runtime
You'll probably need to change that to another C++ Library but I am not sure which one it would be, could be one of the gnu options. Better yet, it could be solved by removing the statement entirely.

Build -> Refresh Linked C++ Projects resolved this error for me.

I found this Solution Online and this worked, however there was no explanation on how it worked:
Remove the following block of code from you build.gradle file:
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
path "src/main/cpp/CMakeLists.txt"
}
}

#rpurohit was nearly right, Clang isn't working properly. But to change the Compiler you need to change build.gradle, in my build.gradle it was Line 12:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
1 android {
2 compileSdkVersion 25
3 buildToolsVersion '25.0.2'
4 defaultConfig {
5 applicationId 'com.example.hellojni'
6 minSdkVersion 23
7 targetSdkVersion 25
8 versionCode 1
9 versionName "1.0"
10 externalNativeBuild {
11 cmake {
12 arguments '-DANDROID_TOOLCHAIN=clang' --> gcc
}
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
path "src/main/cpp/CMakeLists.txt"
}
}
productFlavors {
arm7 {
// in the future, ndk.abiFilter might also work
ndk {
abiFilter 'armeabi-v7a'
}
}
arm8 {
ndk {
abiFilters 'arm64-v8a'
}
}
arm {
ndk {
abiFilter 'armeabi'
}
}
x86 {
ndk {
abiFilter 'x86'
}
}
x86_64 {
ndk {
abiFilter 'x86_64'
}
}
mips {
ndk {
abiFilters 'mips', 'mips64'
}
}
universal {
ndk {
abiFilters 'mips', 'mips64', 'x86', 'x86_64'
}
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.1'
}

I would recommend using GCC instead of clang for the time being because clang still does not contain all features. You can change your compiler by doing the following:
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /path-to-ndk/toolchains/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/aarch64-linux-android-gcc)
However, the darwin-x86_64 directory only exists if you are on a Mac. If you are on another platform, just use the directory that exists under the prebuilt folder.

I encountered this problem because I set the wrong path of native-lib.cpp. After changing
add_library(native-lib SHARED native-lib.cpp)
to
add_library(native-lib SHARED src/main/jni/native-lib.cpp)
it worked again.
By the way, this is part of my project's structure.
CMakeLists.txt
src
|__main
|___jni
|___native-lib.cpp

In case previous answer doesn't work for you, as it happened to me, try to fix permissions in the bin folder of cmake and for ndk. In my case: C:\android-sdk\cmake\3.6.4111459\bin and c:\android-sdk\ndk-bundle
In my case Users group did had no permissions so Android Studio wasn't able to run cmake. Make sure it has Read and execution permissions.

This error sometimes occurs when you upgrade gradle or other dependencies.
a simple solution is Build > "Refresh linked C++ project" and after that rebuilding your project. everything goes right

I tried the solutions provided above but no luck. Then I changed the path of OpenCV_DIR which was set in the CMakeLists.txt file and it worked. My project was not pointing to the right path, which was causing the error. Make sure you have provided the right path in your CMakeLists.txt file.
For example :
set(OpenCV_DIR "...../OpenCV_Android/install/sdk/native/jni/abi-arm64-v8a")

I find this way can work:
not need delete below:
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
path "CMakeLists.txt"
}
}
this is useful .and your project just less the ninja file .
you can fllow this way can build successful!
here is the result:
Make was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
you should install ninja
download ninja here ninja download file
get the ninja file
copy the ninja file to the /usrlocal/bin
build again .the project run successfull!!
