How to use existing static library (.a file) to create shared library (.so file)

[Reddy]

Hi,

I have an already existing Static library created in android version
1.6. Now i want to use this static library in creation of Shared
library. Please tell me where i need to keep the Static library so
that the Android.mk file can access this.

Hi Reddy,

It would be better to keep the .a file in your project directory, since it will get deleted if you manually put it into the NDK's work directories.

If you add the following into your Android.mk file it should be fine I think.

LOCAL_LDLIBS += $(LOCAL_PATH)/../library.a

That's how I'm linking closed-code 3rd party Android libraries into the project.

Regards,

Here is my layout:

jni/static/Android.mk
-> ....
-> LOCAL_MODULE := mystaticlib
-> include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)
jni/shared/Android.mk
-> LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := mystaticlib
-> include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

Hi,
You can take a look at sample/two-libs/.
and modify the Android.mk to what you want.
Good luck.
