Imago, hit a wall?

So I am able to load the jna interface for android. Turns out, I had to put the libjnidispatch.so in app/src/main/jniLibs/(platform)/

But a new problem arises.

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library '/lib/Linux/x86/libimago_c.so': Native library (lib/Linux/x86/libimago_c.so) not found

the libimago_c.so exist in the .jar file, but android is unable to unpack in situ. Let’s see if I can re-route the resource path? And put the .so file in there?

I was under the impression that any .so library files should be stored in jniLibs/(arch)/ folder, and it will be packaged by gradle. In fact, I tested the matter of fact out, and Native.library loaded other .so files without a hitch.

Something wrong with with the libimago_c.so then?

I have three things left to try:

a) see if the android studio can read libimago_c.so at all.
b) use cpp/h version, as per outlined in the examples
c) use osra.

One final thought this week. So JNA = native.loadlibrary requiring interface declaration, whilst jni = system.loadlibrary, requiring jni wrapper header file (somehow).
either way, the library is architecture specific. Ugh, headache.

Now, I need to compile imago source file according to armeabi-v7a architecture.

Minor minor victory: finally sorted out the error

****make.exe No rule to make target ‘directory/foo.cpp’, needed by ‘directory1/foo.o’. Stop.

Turns out, I needed to go into the jni folder, before ndk-build.
