com/sun/jna/android-arm/libjnidispatch.so not foun

Question

All of the following is being done in Android Studio.

I have successfully compiled and tested the Android Watson Speech to Text demo app. I then created a library project containing the Watson related API's and a 2nd app project with a simple UI that references the Watson library project. The UI successfully starts and calls Watson speech to text api's. I thought I was set to use the Watson library project for real.

So I incorporated the Watson API project into my 'real' project. When I start the app connection to Watson I am getting:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: initStreamToServerThread

I have included speech-android-wrapper.aar in the libs directory and have included in the gradle.build dependencies:

compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.ibm.watson.developer_cloud:java-sdk:2.10.0'
compile(name: 'speech-android-wrapper', ext: 'aar')

My app is rather large and is using multi-dex'ing so I am wondering if this could a clue to what is going wrong.

I did run into one other issue with a AndroidManifest.xml manifest conflict in the application section that I resolved with adding:

tools:replace="android:icon,android:name"

I don't see how that could cause the link error but just throwing it out there in case I am missing the significance of it.

Looking for suggestions.

Answer 1

If you're referencing the module of "speech-android-wrapper", please use this configuration in your gradle:

compile project(':speech-android-wrapper')

If you're using AAR libs, please try this:

dependencies {
  //...
  debugCompile(name:'speech-android-wrapper-debug', ext:'aar')
  releaseCompile(name:'speech-android-wrapper-release', ext:'aar')
}

...

repositories{
  //...
  flatDir{
    dirs 'libs'
  }
}

Icon issue was resolved already in another repo, will be merged to the Watson Developer Cloud repo soon.

Hope it helps.
