installing share library through ADB

[Bala Abiraman]

is it possible to install the shared library to the deice through ADB
or some other interface.
so, that you dont need to compile the complete source code & link it.

any thing is available in android like that?

Hi,

      I'm not sure if you are having issues while installing shared library on the Android device. Android does support shared objects (.so libraries) and it is very much possible to push them using "adb push" command to "/system/lib" path on the device. The library can be used from next booting (if is implicitly linked) or immediately usable if is is explicitly loaded (using dlopen).

warm Regards,
Anil

thanks for the informative reply....

after loading the .so shared library in "/system/lib" , Can I access
the methods of the shared library from the Java apk (android
application).?
any samples are available?

what the about the JNI design in this case?

best regards,

Bala Abirman

Hi Bala,

           In order to access the methods of the shared library from java code, you need to bring in JNI wrappers around the methods exposed from your shared lib.

Warm Regards,
Anil
