Where Is The Runtime Directory For So Android Libs?

I have an Android app that uses an external .so library to work (OpenALPR). This .so library also needs an external conf file to work properly. When I load my library and initializ

Solution 1:

The trick was to move manually the content of Assets to the actual /data/data/com.example.app/ folder, which is where the libs are stored.

Here's a snippet that achieves that (from the official android repo)

/**
     * Copies the assets folder.
     *
     * @param assetManager The assets manager.
     * @param fromAssetPath The from assets path.
     * @param toPath The to assets path.
     *
     * @return A boolean indicating if the process went as expected.
     */publicstaticboolean copyAssetFolder(AssetManager assetManager, String fromAssetPath, String toPath) {
        try {
            String[] files = assetManager.list(fromAssetPath);

            new File(toPath).mkdirs();

            boolean res = true;

            for (String file : files)

                if (file.contains(".")) {
                    res &= copyAsset(assetManager, fromAssetPath + "/" + file, toPath + "/" + file);
                } else {
                    res &= copyAssetFolder(assetManager, fromAssetPath + "/" + file, toPath + "/" + file);
                }

            return res;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

            returnfalse;
        }
    }
