Error adding prebuilt apk with shared libraries to AOSP

by

I’ve had this problem myself, the reason is that when APK files are included in a build they are essentially bypassing the installation process. This installation process is the point at which any shared libraries are extracted from the apk and put in the appropriate place, ergo if that never happens the libraries will not be available. This is because packages that are built from source during the AOSP build either have their prebuilt shared libraries included during that build process or their libraries are also built from source, and in either case those libraries are put in the appropriate place.

For this reason in addition to the apk module itself you should add the following in the same .mk file:

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := libapkwithso
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := lib/libapkwithso.so # or wherever your so is
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
LOCAL_MODULE_SUFFIX := .so
LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS := SHARED_LIBRARIES
include $(BUILD_PREBUILT)

Then add:

LOCAL_REQUIRED_MODULES := libapkwithso
