Cocos2d-x 3.X build Android "cocos2d.h" file not found

I am using build_native.py to build to Android platform, but it says
"fatal error: fatal error:'cocos2d.h' file not found".
Before this problem it says can't import import module and I set NDK_MODULD_PATH in environment variable to fix it I don't know if this cause this problem.

In this situation, most error comes from wrong Path setting of NDK_MODULD_PATH. I once met this error when using Cocos2d-x 2.2.6. And I suggest you checking the path of NDK_MODULE_PATH again to set it to
${COCOS2DX_ROOT}/cocos2dx/platform/third_party/android/source;${COCOS2DX_ROOT}/cocos2dx/platform/third_party/android/prebuilt
replace ${COCOS2DX_ROOT} to your own path. You can also check this article, although it is talking about Cocos2d-x 2.x.

I miss this error also when I use cocos2d-x-3.7.My solution is at jni/Android.mk set:
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := cocos2d_lua_static

How to split my NDK project into lib and app

I have an NDK-based project (written mostly on C++) and I want to split its sources into two parts: "lib" (to be shared with other projects) and "app" (files specific to current project).
Now my Android.mk looks as follows:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := MyProj
MY_LIB_SOURCES := \
libfile1.cpp \
libfile2.cpp
MY_APP_SOURCES := \
appfile1.cpp \
appfile2.cpp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += $(MY_LIB_SOURCES)
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += $(MY_APP_SOURCES)
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := android_native_app_glue
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
$(call import-module,android/native_app_glue)
The only reason for splitting is that I want to add/remove lib source file once, because now I have to change Android.mk for all projects which need sources from MY_LIB_SOURCES.
Do I have to create a separate project that would produce a shared library? Or should it be a static library? Or maybe it's possible to just #include somehow file that enumerates MY_LIB_SOURCES into Android.mk of each app?

We usually create a separate folder for library sources, e.g.
project
jni
appfile1.cpp
appfile2.cpp
Android.mk (1)
my_lib
libfile1.cpp
libfile2.cpp
Android.mk (2)
This is the first (application) Android.mk
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := MyProj
MY_APP_SOURCES := \
appfile1.cpp \
appfile2.cpp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += $(MY_APP_SOURCES)
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := android_native_app_glue
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES += MyLib
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
include $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../my_lib/Android.mk
$(call import-module,android/native_app_glue)
This is the second (library) Android.mk
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := MyLib
MY_LIB_SOURCES := \
libfile1.cpp \
libfile2.cpp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += $(MY_LIB_SOURCES)
include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)
Using the Andorid.mk name for MyLib is by convention; you could use some other file name, and change the include statement (line 17 of the first Android.mk file) accordingly.
You could also use the same $(call import-module) syntax, like
$(call import-module,my_lib)
But to do so, you must provide a NDK_MODULE_PATH environment variable that includes $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../.
Your library will be rebuilt anew for each app (project) that includes it - either with the first naïve include method, or with $(call import-module) method. You can provide a prebuilt static library, but this is a different story.

You must divide your android.mk in two sections:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
## The lib ##
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := my_lib
SRC_LIB := $(wildcard $(LOCAL_PATH)/*.cpp)
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(SRC_LIB:$(LOCAL_PATH)/%=%)
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)
## The App ##
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := my_app
LOCAL_CPP_EXTENSION := .cxx .cpp .cc
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := \
appfile1.cpp \
appfile2.cpp
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := android_native_app_glue
LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := my_lib
LOCAL_LDLIBS += -landroid
include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)
$(call import-module,android/native_app_glue)
If you want static library you have only to change include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY) to include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY) and LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := my_lib to LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES += my_lib

Error in compiling cocos2d-x project for android when using json

I'am using cocos2d-x version 3.3rc
In some of my class I #include "cocos2d/external/json/writer.h"
when I want to compile my project to make android apk, by running build_native.py script, it shows the following error to me:
fatal error: cocos2d/external/json/writer.h: No such file or directory
But I include its file in my android.mk file with this syntax:
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../Classes \
$(LOCAL_PATH)/../../cocos2d/external/json \
And here is the complete android.mk file:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
$(call import-add-path,$(LOCAL_PATH)/../../cocos2d)
$(call import-add-path,$(LOCAL_PATH)/../../cocos2d/external)
$(call import-add-path,$(LOCAL_PATH)/../../cocos2d/cocos)
LOCAL_MODULE := cocos2dcpp_shared
LOCAL_MODULE_FILENAME := libcocos2dcpp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := hellocpp/main.cpp \
../../Classes/AppDelegate.cpp \
../../Classes/Database/CacheData.cpp
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../Classes \
$(LOCAL_PATH)/../../cocos2d/external/json
#LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := cocos2dx_static
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES += cocos2dx_static
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES += cocosdenshion_static
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES += box2d_static
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES += chipmunk_static
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES += cocos_extension_static
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES += json_external_static
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
$(call import-module,.)
How can I fix the problem?

I found the solution.
In cocos2d-x version 3.3 the default android.mk file that generated is sufficient and all other library was imported. Then the default android.mk file in jni folder was completely integrated with other .mk files. i see that the files in json folder that located in 'cocos2s/external/json' are .h files and there is no dependency between them and other cocos2d files and library.
then I simply copy this folder to my Classes folder and include them locally.Now the problem is solved :)

How to add static c-library (libsrtp) to Android-Project using NDK

so I'm relatively new to Android-NDK and trying to add an uncompiled c-library to android.
I've downloaded the library's source from here and followed these instructions to create a static library (.a-File) from the downloaded files using ndk-build.
So now I have a folder-structure that looks like this:
-srtp
--include (srtp.h, crypto.h)
--srtp (srtp.c...)
--obj
---local
----armeabi
-----libsrtp_static.a
In my Android-project I want to include srtp.h in a c-file inside my /jni/ folder. I've tried to just add the .a-file to the /jni folder but than it says "srtp.h no such file or direcotry". If I add the entire srtp-folder to the project and include the header with "srtp/include/srtp.h" it compiles but fails to link the source as I get the error "Undefined reference to srtp-function-call"
Here's my Android.mk (parts of it copied from Android.mk within the downloaded source):
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog
LOCAL_MODULE := ndk1 #name of my project
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := native.c #name of the c-source file
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
LOCAL_PATH:= /home/dev/programing/srtp
common_SRC_FILES := \
srtp/srtp.c \
srtp/ekt.c \
crypto/cipher/cipher.c \
#...more files like that
common_CFLAGS := \
-DPOSIX -iquote$(LOCAL_PATH)/crypto/include \
-Werror \
-Wno-ignored-qualifiers \
-Wno-sign-compare \
-Wno-missing-field-initializers
common_C_INCLUDES = $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
# For the device
# =====================================================
# Device static library
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
ifneq ($(TARGET_ARCH),x86)
LOCAL_NDK_VERSION := 5
LOCAL_SDK_VERSION := 9
endif
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := libsrtp_static.a
LOCAL_CFLAGS += $(common_CFLAGS)
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += /home/dev/programing/srtp/include
LOCAL_MODULE:= libsrtp_static
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much.

You need to add the reference to libsrtp_static from your lib (ndk1) declaration :
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := libsrtp_static
Also, you don't need to copy all the strp sources to your project, only add this to your static prebuilt library definition
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES += /home/dev/programing/srtp/include
This path will then be automatically added to the LOCAL_C_INCLUDES of your library that is using the library.
Are you building libsrtp or just using a prebuilt static library ? If you're using a prebuilt (lib*.a), replace BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY with PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY and set only the .a as SRC_FILE:
In summary, once libstrp_static.a is built, this should work:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog
LOCAL_MODULE := ndk1 #name of my project
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := native.c #name of the c-source file
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := libsrtp_static
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := /home/dev/programing/srtp/libsrtp_static.a #check path to libsrtp_static.a
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES += /home/dev/programing/srtp/include
LOCAL_MODULE:= libsrtp_static
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)

Android NDK, two Static Libraries and Linking

I started off creating libraries as shared libraries, but I considered it would be more efficient to create one shared libraries and the rest static. When it was all shared, it compiled and linked fine, but moving to static, I get on linking "undefined reference".
Edit: I build all the libraries in one Android.mk
Android.mk:
MY_LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
MY_LOCAL_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
TARGET_PLATFORM := 'android-4'
LOCAL_PATH := $(MY_LOCAL_PATH)/../../Base
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := Base
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := <Base src files>

MY_LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := Base

LOCAL_PATH := $(MY_LOCAL_PATH)/../../Framework

LOCAL_MODULE := Framework
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(MY_LOCAL_C_INCLUDES)
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := <Framework src files>
LOCAL_CFLAGS := $(MY_LOCAL_CFLAGS)
include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)
MY_LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES += Framework
MY_LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += $(MY_LOCAL_PATH)/../../Framework
LOCAL_PATH := $(MY_LOCAL_PATH)/Graphics

MY_LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += $(MY_LOCAL_PATH)/Platform
LOCAL_PATH := $(MY_LOCAL_PATH)

LOCAL_MODULE := Final
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := <Final src files>
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := $(MY_LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES)

/Users/robbie/Documents/Apps/Revolution/Android/jni/SpinTap/ATexture.cpp:9: undefined reference to `TextureRenderer::TextureRenderer(unsigned int)'
Edit2: TextureRenderer is in Graphics, which is included.
Does anyone have an idea why it may not be working and how to fix it?

This looks like an order-of-linking issue to me.
Your command line is:
arm-linux-androideabi-g++ -Wl,-soname,libFinal.so -shared \
libBase.a libFramework.a libGraphics.a libPlatform.a -o libFinal.so
and the error is
libPlatform.a(ATexture.o): In function `ATexture':
ATexture.cpp:9: undefined reference to `TextureRenderer'
ATexture.cpp:9: undefined reference to `TextureRenderer'
TextureRenderer is in Graphics. But libGraphics is before libPlatform on the command line. g++ will search each library on the command line in the order they are given, loading functions to resolve external references. It will read libGraphics once, load the functions that resolve external references and move on to libPlatform.
Try changing LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := $(MY_LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES) to LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := Platform Graphics Framework Base and see how you get on.

In your Android.mk, make sure you are referencing the static library with the proper call:
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := mystaticlibproj
before calling include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY).
Then, at the end of the file, place the call to import the static lib module
$(call import-module, mystaticlibproj)
If you're still having trouble, post the verbose build log (ndk-build V=1 -B) and your Android.mk
