Using #include<vector> with Android

[jpujol95]

Hello.

Does anyone know how to build a C++ code containing the "vector" data
structure?

-------------------------
#include <vector>
-------------------------

When compiling, I get the error:
"vector: No such file or directory".

Indeed, the file vector doesn't seem to exist in the NDK folder. I
have it in a Visual Studio folder but I can't figure out how to
integrate it within Android as it generates a flood of compiling
errors because of dependencies on other files.

Does a similar data structure exist in Android?

Regards,

Jonathan

You can't. STL structures are unsupported. Which is why we lack even
a <string> header...

Thank you for your response.

Do you have an idea of what kind of data structure I could use
instead? I only need to: add, count, and remove elements from a list
whom size is unknown.

Regards,

Jonathan

You can use stlport from gears that I adapted to NDK:

Note that you need to modify your NDK in order this to work.

Hi,

     One thing I must warn is that libstdc++ implementation in android is extermely poor, just 4 to 5 basic constructs, like new, etc. I tried porting uSTL, got that done, and then realized that it lacked a streambuf implementation. So please be very careful on what libstdc++ features your particular implementation might require. I've tried uSTL 1.0, uSTL 1.2 and uSTL 2.0 (from cvs). 

Best regards,

Elvis
