which path will system load a JNI library from

[xeagle]

Hi,

In my app, I'm using "System.loadLibrary()" to load my JNI library. It
should load library from "/data/data/myapp/lib/".
Then I add a invocation of "System.getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH")", and
found that this system env is "/system/lib/". Does that means that
system will load library from "/system/lib/" first? I think it is TRUE
for a system app, not my app. I'm confused.

yes system libraries do seem to have priority, if you have a shared library with the same name as a system library you will not be able to load it

This was changed in 2.3 (gingerbread). Now app lib directories come
first in the search path.
