i'm trying to integrate the ndkBuild functionality into an existing android studio project, using the new android studio 2.2 , in order to enable c++ debugging etc. i have tried out one of the ndk example projects which android studio 2.2 offers, which works perfectly fine. However, when i try to run the gradle commands in my own project, i get this error message:
Error:(73, 0) Could not find method externalNativeBuild() for arguments [build_c6heui1f67l8o1c3ifgpntw6$_run_closure2$_closure9@4329c1c9] on project ':core' of type org.gradle.api.Project.
By following this description http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/external-c-builds i ended up with a gradle script which includes the following commands:
externalNativeBuild{
ndkBuild{
path "$projectDir/jni/Android.mk"
}
}
externalNativeBuild {
ndkBuild {
arguments "NDK_APPLICATION_MK:=$projectDir/jni/Application.mk"
abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "armeabi","arm64-v8a","x86"
cppFlags "-frtti -fexceptions"
}
}
Did i perhaps miss out on something here with the project setup? I have set the Android NDK location properly under
File -> Project Structure ... -> SDK Location -> Android NDK location
in my android studio.
Anything else i might have forgotton?
Has anyone run into a similar problem before?
Advice would be much appreciated =)
Just had this error myself. In your root build.gradle
, make sure that gradle is set to at least version 2.2.0:
So you should have the following in buildscript {...}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0'
}
