Hey guys, I'm currently trying to write hello-jni but in my own code and projects to get an idea of the flow of getting an android app working.

I've setup my make file, my source file, got it all compiling. But I get an unsatisfied link error when I try to run the app. So I take a look around and see that I need to run the javah to create a .h file that will forward declare my function and avoid name mangling.

So I setup an external tool in Eclipse using this guide, and it seems to work fine, except I get an error saying

"Error: cannot access android.app.Activity

Since no one is responding, I'll try a different question; is javah really necessary? It seems like I should be able to resolve the name mangling myself. And I never had to run it on hello-jni, though I imagine it's only because the name mangling isn't an issue in C.

Has anyone done any C++ development in Android using JNI?
