Question

I am new in the developing for Android and I faced with next problem:
when I using C++ code that uses “dynamic_cast” expressions – “UnsatisfiedLinkError” appears when I am starting my application on an emulator. But when I run application without it – all works OK( I mean without any errors to LogCat )

I tried to run it on Android 2.3.3. I used android-ndk-r7b.

My Application.mk:

APP_OPTIM := debug
APP_ABI := armeabi
APP_STL := gnustl_static
APP_MODULES := native_lab

My Android.mk:

LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE    := native_lab
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := native.cpp enum_if.cpp torrent.cpp
LOCAL_CPP_FEATURES := rtti exceptions
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog -lz \
    /home/l/android9_toolchain/arm-linux-androideabi/lib/libstdc++.a
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

The pieces of code that uses dynamic cast:

namespace libtorrent 
{
    template <class T>
    T* alert_cast(alert* a)
    {
        return dynamic_cast<T*>(a);
    }
}
.....

using namespace libtorrent;
if (torrent_finished_alert* p = alert_cast<torrent_finished_alert>(a)){}

Log cat says:

Do anybody know how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Try to include these lines into your Applications.mk:

APP_CPPFLAGS += -frtti 
APP_CPPFLAGS += -fexceptions

Do you have any methods in Java marked as ‘native’?
