I am trying to run a simple example on how to use RenderScript from the android NDK. I found this example :
https://github.com/uelordi01/Call_RenderScript_from_NDK
but when I run my app (from Android studio), it doesn't fine some libraries (it seems like).
Here is the logcat output:
04-26 16:18:11.705 26653-26653/uelordi.android.hellocomputendk_rs

Internal error: Object id 0.
(The renderscript file name is mono.rs)
I think I am supposed to add some libraries somewhere (libRS.so, libRSSupportIO.so) but I have no idea where and how and WHY (since the exemple is supposed to work by himself)
this error happens on the following line: sc->forEach_root(inputAlloc, outputAlloc);
side question:
I looked over the internet but didn't find much (nothing up-to-date). Renderscript is still a thing in 2017, right?
The joy of android developpement. I found the solution! I simply had to change:
minSdkVersion 19
to:
minSdkVersion 21
to be honest, I have no idea how to explain this. If anyone has an explanation, that would be great!
