ndk-samples: Errors while trying to compile React Native alongside an NDK project

Version: r15c Android Studio: 3.1.3 OS: Windows 10

Hi there, I recently started to port a React Native + openFrameworks app to Android and I ran into some issues. I’m using the r15c version of android ndk becuase openFrameworks(oF) requires this version. A simple oF app works fine, but the problem arises when I try to add React Native to this project.

I added RN’s prerequisites one by one, and ran the project at each step. The error happens when I add RN itself:

dependencies {
    addonJavaDependencies(ofRoot()).each { dep ->
        compile(project(path: dep[1] ))
    }
    compile project(path: ':ofAndroidLib')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:0.55.4" <---- this line
}

I’m quite new at this and these errors don’t mean a lot to me. My guess is that RN is not being compiled with the same compiler settings as oF or something along these lines.

This is the error with gradlew assembleDebug --stacktrace --info

@razvanilin the following steps to get it to compile another sample (tried with advanced3D):

cp androidAccelerometerExample/build.gralde androidAdvanced3DExample/
cp androidAccelerometerExample/src/CMakeLists.txt androidAdvanced3DExample/src
cd …/v_0.10.0/scripts/android; ./pull_from_source.sh
Use Android Studio 3.1.x “open” AndroidAcceleromenterExample/build.gradle
let it update whatever, then open CMakeLists.txt, just add file Grid.cpp, OrthoCamera.cpp Swarm.cpp
build and run it. works for me. It is hack and I did not add their gcc equivalent optimization ( -Ofast ) things at all. This should let you play with react-native. I might hack on more to see how they build projectorGenerator; then add to the stable branch. enjoy your react-native thing.

Hacked on release version 0.10.0, get the projects to build, but I do not know whether the apps are correctly running:

It is a pure hack: you might carry on from here. I did it on Linux:

clone the original OF repo somewhere
download the hacked version 0.10.0
configure path to yours and run this script – it will pull down all of the dependency libs
Use Android Studio to open the emptyExample (this has repo for ReactNative ) and accelerometerExample, the later one is better; build and load to your device.

the main hacks are:

CMakeLists.txt for openFrameworks
app’s CMakeLists.txt file
App’s build.gradle
a little change to common-function.gradle

Again it is a hack, but it would take very little time to get an example of your interest to build:

just drop the application’s CMakeLists.txt over to your example’s src/
and copy over the application’s build.gradle to your new example

take a look if you are interested, I will keep it there for a couple weeks ( or moved it out to somewhere ) then delete it ( it is a hack ). The correct way is to change the files under template, but I could not get ProjectGenerator to build on my debian linux – out of luck.
