Using *.a with NDK

[Kwadwo Busumtwi]

Hi,

I am new to ndk.

Anyone know how to use .a library and its functions in an android project?

If you are using Cmake, see https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cmake.html

If you are using Android.mk and the .a was not built within your Android.mk, see https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/prebuilts.html

If you are using Android.mk and you are building the .a within Android.mk, see https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/android_mk.html

Besides Glenn's awesome doc links, there is a simple sample for this usage:

  cmake + android studio:    https://github.com/googlesamples/android-ndk/tree/master/hello-libs

  ndk-build + android stduo: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-ndk/tree/master/other-builds/ndkbuild/hello-libs
