Does anyone have any experience using JNI to call native C/C++ libraries in Android? Is the environment suitable for running C/C++ libraries and if so is there anything specific about the environment which you need to accommodate?

I'm attempting to port a normal Java program over to Android, however I am having a problem with a huge number of missing Java packages (e.g., Android Java does not have java.lang.management). Is there a way for me to work around this, such as by adding the Java modules that I need?

Does anyone know if these libraries are guaranteed to be included on every Android phone? If not, how would I know if they are not there?
I'm new to Java/Eclipse/Android, so this is probably an easy (if not stupid) question:
After creating a new Android project, I want to import some (what I think are standard) Java libraries. However, some import statements throw an error:
HelloAndroid.java:
import java.awt.Color; (The import java.awt.Color cannot be resolved)
import javax.imageio.ImageIO; (The import javax.imageio cannot be resolved)
while others don't:
import java.io.File; (no error)
I've done some googling and tried to add these classes to my class path by going to project->properties->libraries but I haven't been able to figure out what to do exactly.
I have a problem: Cant load library with my phone, but an other can open it, why?
CODE:..............
And yes, the other lib is there too.
I'm searching for android phones that can use video out to the tv for a research project. I'm considering the HTC Touch Pro.
Is there anything I have to do specifically to get the video out to work (for displaying my app on the tv)? or will the phone just display a running app on the tv without extra work?
I was really excited today when I saw the Tools r7 and ADT 0.9.8 were available and the latter had this note;
Fixes problems with handling of library project names that contain characters that are incompatible with the Eclipse path variable. Now properly sets up the link between the main project and the library project.
I create the library (foolib - no spaces, no caps, no punctuation). So far so good. I go to the main project, go to preferences --> Android. In the library box I add the new library. It appears. I press Apply. I press OK.
Nothing happens.
I return to the preferences, the library is no longer there JUST LIKE BEFORE.
I looked around for info on this in the group but couldn't find any... so far in my OpenGL programming I've just done everything directly, but I was curious if anyone had written any "wrapper" libraries for it besides min3d. Min3d is great (or is getting there) but it's GPL'd, making it unsuitable for a commercial product (if my understanding of the license is correct).
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have been using gdbserver to debug our JNI code as follows. We have been less than successful -- breakpoints do not always get activated, sometimes we get SIGILL, and we seldom ever get a useful stack when the debugging stops on SIGSEGV, sometimes the program dies with SIGTRAP!!!
We have occasionally been able to have debug sessions with s/n, but since pretty much every SEGV has resulted in either a damaged stack, or at least, gdbserver can not find the stack, it's a pain.
Is there something we are missing? Is there some reason to use the 4.2.1 vs 4.3.1 toolchain? (Why are there two toolchains? I assume because of bugs in each that are fixed in the other... which bugs?)
We guessed that the "dalvik" process that we wanted to debug was app_process --- we found this out by looking at /proc/XXX/cmdline on our running activity.
This is what we do typically do(repo sync directory is in /build/m1 for me)
invoke:/build/m1/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi- gdb
(some of us use -tui, some of us run it under Xemacs, etc.)
We then do:
CODE:..........
We then start our activity, adb shell, discover the PID of the activity, discover the IP of the phone with "netcfg", and:
app_15 1815 49 107468 15744 ffffffff afe0d4a4 S org.credil.thomas_watson.videophoneservice

This is with a physical device. With an emulator, one has to, of course, run the adb forward stuff. (Too bad that doesn't work with a real device too, as then I would not need to run gdb over the wireless)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm building an app where I want to architect the app layer separately from the service layer (not android services). So I'll create a service interface(the apis) and then create a class(es) that implement that service interface. Inside the android application layer, I want to code to just that service interface. I think this is similar to how the google maps apis works. the api interface and stubs are in the framework, then each device actually provides the implementation. I don't need to go that far, but I am wondering how I package this up. One, where would I put these interfaces, so I can code to them in the app layer (like Activities). Second, how do I tell Android where the implementing classes are? I'm guessing this is somewhere in the manifest? For now I think I would probably just build the service implementation with the application source code, if that's easier. Eventually I'd like to break that out and drop it in as a 3rd-party jar.

I'm working on a project with a group that is using Eclipse, but I'm using Netbeans. Up until today this wasn't an issue. When updating from the repo they have added some source code as a library under a directory called /lib-src. When I try to compile the code I get an error that it can't find certain packages... these are the packages under /lib-src.
Using NetBeans I can add the library as a folder so now the references to those packages are happy. However, I'm getting this new error when compiling:
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR:
CODE:.........
I can include the build-impl.xml file if you need it, but I don't think that is main issue.
I am completely new to the NDK.
I have done a couple of the tutorials including the hello from jni one and another one that calculates the sum of two numbers.
They involved using cygwin and the ndk to create the library so file and I have a bit of a grasp on how to insert my own libraries into the libraries layer of Android.
I have now been asked to access the native libraries on Android and see what I can use them for.
My question is can I do this?
The STABLE-APIS.txt document is a bit vague and mentions the following as Stable C++ API's in Android 1.5
cstddef
new
utility
stl_pair.h
Does that mean I can access them?
If so then how do I go about it?
I need to import a couple of jars that where compiled under the full implementation of java. I know that Android doesn't use all the packages that java has to offer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat tutorials and libraries are available which can help beginners to develop 2D and 3D games on Android using OpenGL-ES? I'm looking for tutorials which can help me learn OpenGL-ES, and I'm looking for OpenGL-ES libraries which can make life easier for beginners in OpenGL-ES.
Since Android is still small, I guess it may be help-full to read iPhone OpenGL-ES tutorials as well, as I suppose the OpenGL-ES functionality is much the same.
I have found the following useful information which I would have liked to share:
Android tutorials: DroidNova: Basic tutorial covering polygons, no textures anddev forum with some tutorials
Other Android OpenGL-ES information: Google IO lecture regarding games, not much OpenGLES The The Khronos Reference Manual is also relevant to have, but its not exactly the best place to start.
iPhone OpenGL-ES tutorials (where the OpenGl-ES information is probably useful): http://web.me.com/smaurice/AppleCoder/iPhone_OpenGL/Archive.html
[url]
As for libraries which a beginner might use to get a simpler hands-on experience with OpenGL-ES, I have only found Rokon, which is recently started, thus has many holes and bugs. And it's gnuGPL licensed (at the moment) which means it cannot be used, if we wish to sell our games.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am building an app that scrapes information from web pages. To do that I have chosen to use an HTML scraper called J soup because it's so simple to use. Jsoup is also dependent on Apache Commons Lang library. (Together they make up a total of 385kB ). So Jsoup will be used to Download the page and parse it. My question is if the use of these simplifying libraries, instead of using Androids built-in libraries, will make my app slower? (in terms of downloading data and parsing). I was thinking that the internal libraries would be optimized for Android.
