Load .so file in Xamarin.Android

问题:

I'm trying to convert a Java class to C# in Xamarin.Android.

The original Java class have this:

private native boolean OpenDeviceCtx(Object obj);
public native boolean CloseDevice();
public native boolean GetDiodesStatus(byte[] bArr);
public native boolean GetFrame(byte[] bArr);
public native boolean GetImage(int i, byte[] bArr);
public native boolean GetImage2(int i, byte[] bArr);
public native boolean GetImageByVariableDose(int i, byte[] bArr);
public native boolean GetImageSize();
public native boolean GetInterfaces(byte[] bArr);
public native String GetVersionInfo();
public native boolean IsFingerPresent();
public native boolean OpenDevice();
public native boolean OpenDeviceOnInterface(int i);
public native boolean Restore7Bytes(byte[] bArr);
public native boolean RestoreSecret7Bytes(byte[] bArr, byte[] bArr2);
public native boolean Save7Bytes(byte[] bArr);
public native boolean SaveSecret7Bytes(byte[] bArr, byte[] bArr2);
public native boolean SetDiodesStatus(int i, int i2);
public native boolean SetGlobalSyncDir(String str);
public native boolean SetLogOptions(int i, int i2);
public native boolean SetNewAuthorizationCode(byte[] bArr);
public native boolean SetOptions(int i, int i2);

static {
    System.loadLibrary("usb-1.0");
    System.loadLibrary("ftrScanAPI");
    System.loadLibrary("ftrScanApiAndroidJni");
}

I think this "native" methods are the methods inside the .so libraries. Am I correct?

So, to load those libraries in my Xamarin.Android project, I tried to do this:

[DllImport("usb-1.0")]
public static extern int GetUSB();
[DllImport("ftrScanAPI")]
public static extern int GetScanAPI();
[DllImport("ftrScanApiAndroidJni")]
public static extern int GetScanAPIAndroidJNI();

And created a folder structure in my project like: project/lib/arm/files.so

When I run the project I get lots of errors:

DllImport attempting to load: 'usb-1.0'.

Any idea of what am I doing wrong?

回答1:

If you are using Visual Studio, and you are porting to Xamarin some JNI-Java code that was already working on Android, follow this Steps:

1. Place your .so files under a "lib" folder on your Xamarin project, example:

2. Make sure that your .so files are set the "Build Action" to "Android Native Library"

   • Right click to your .so files -> Properties

3. In C#-Xamarin you can load your libraries in the following way

   try
   {
       JavaSystem.LoadLibrary("SDL2");
       JavaSystem.LoadLibrary("glib-2.0");
       JavaSystem.LoadLibrary("gthread-2.0");
       JavaSystem.LoadLibrary("fluidsynth");
       JavaSystem.LoadLibrary("sdl_mixer");
       JavaSystem.LoadLibrary("initmixer");
   }
   catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e)
   {
       return e.Message;
   }
   

4. The native methods in C# must be declarated in the following way:

   [DllImport("initmixer", EntryPoint = "Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_loadSong")]
   public static extern int loadSong(IntPtr env, IntPtr thiz, IntPtr songPath, int miliseconds);
   [DllImport("initmixer", EntryPoint = "Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_isPlaying")]
   public static extern int isPlaying();
   [DllImport("initmixer", EntryPoint = "Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_pauseAudio")]
   public static extern void pauseAudio();
   [DllImport("initmixer", EntryPoint = "Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_resumeAudio")]
   public static extern void resumeAudio();
   [DllImport("initmixer", EntryPoint = "Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_stopAudio")]
   public static extern void stopAudio();
   [DllImport("initmixer", EntryPoint = "Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_setSoundfonts")]
   public static extern void setSoundfonts(IntPtr env, IntPtr thiz, IntPtr js);
   

On the "EntryPoint" field you have to put the name of the function exactly as they was in your C/C++ code normally Java_your_package_name_YourClassName_YourMethodName.

For Example here is my original C++ code:

void Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_setSoundfonts(JNIEnv * env, jobject this, jstring js)
{
    //Some code
}
void Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_pauseAudio(JNIEnv * env, jobject this)
{
    //Some code
}
void Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_resumeAudio(JNIEnv * env, jobject this)
{
    //Some code
}
int Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_isPlaying(JNIEnv * env, jobject this)
{
    //Some code
}
void Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_stopAudio(JNIEnv * env, jobject this)
{
    //Some code
}

int Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_loadSong(JNIEnv * env, jobject this, jstring songPath)
{
    //Some code
}

Or maybe check the warnings that usually gives Android Studio to know the full name of your native functions:

5. In C# Xamarin sometimes you can not skip arguments that you do in java like: JNIEnv * env, or jobject this, you should use IntPtr as a vartype on this parameters. For example to call loadSong function I used the following arguments.

C/C++

void Java_sf2Tools_FluidsynthJNI_setSoundfonts(JNIEnv * env, jobject this, jstring js)

C# Xamarin

fluidsynth.setSoundfonts(JNIEnv.Handle, System.IntPtr.Zero, new Java.Lang.String(getCFGPathFiltered()).Handle);

• Pay atention to the C++ arguments that start with "j" for example: jstring, jint, you can not use C# string on jstring for example, you should use:

jstring -> new Java.Lang.String("sampleString").Handle -> System.IntPtr

jint -> new Java.Lang.Integer(4).Handle -> System.IntPtr
