JNI and javah on Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1

Android

Hi,

I’m currently porting my existing code to Kotlin and a large portion contains JNI calls. When I’m trying to run the code I’m getting the following error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: No implementation found for long com.company.project.Context.nativeContextCreate$project_debug() (tried Java_com_company_project_Context_nativeContextCreate_00024project_1debug and Java_com_company_project_Context_nativeContextCreate_00024project_1debug__)

This is a bit odd because it’s looking for a method that ends with $project_debug(). I thought that maybe re-generating the headers would fix this but I wasn’t able to use javah property. I followed this tutorial (GitHub - fuzzdota/kotlin-jni-example: An example for Kotlin and Native JNI communication.) but I ended up with a “Cannot find class” error.

Is JNI supposed to be working property at this time with Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1 and, if so, does anyone knows the proper javah command to generate the headers from Kotlin classes ? Otherwise I’m thinking about moving all my native methods to a Java class, make them statics and invoke them from Kotlin classes.

Thanks

Looks like the method is declared with internal visibility. It needs to be either public or private.

Other than that, JNI should work.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try!
