Native Library Import Project

[bfx]

Hi,

I have 2 projects, one is an App, and the other is a library that the App uses.    The library, unfortunately, contains both C++ and Java code, it is a gradle-built project.  The import into VisualGDB seems to only allow for Native libs without Java code.  What can I do to set up both my app and my “native + Java” library in VisualGDB? Is it possible?  The gradle build generates a .aar file.  Not sure how to link to that.

Maybe it is unnecessary, but one thing I thought of is to maybe split the library into 2 libraries, a native-only, and a Java library.  The java library I think can only be set up in Android Studio, not VisualGDB (correct?) , but again, I don’t know how I’d link the .aar with the rest of VisualGDB.

I do want to be able to step into the C++ part of the library, from the app.

As an aside, I was  able to take just the C++ files of the library and build the native library in VisualGDB, but now its missing the Java files.

Thank you for your help. I know my support has expired. If you can tell me you have a solution to my problem, I would be happy to renew my license for the answer 🙂

Hi,

Normally, you should be able to reference the AAR library from another Android Studio project and then import the outer project into VisualGDB (see this tutorial). The classic VisualGDB projects (Ant-based) do not support AAR files as it is Android Studio-specific format.

We can help you import the Gradle-based project into VisualGDB, however that would require renewing your license to get the technical support active.
