Here’s a rewritten and polished version of your README to make it more professional, clearer, and easier to follow:
This project demonstrates how to build an Android application that integrates with C++ native code using the Java Native Interface (JNI). It’s ideal for performance-critical operations or reusing existing native libraries in Android apps.
- Android app built with Java
- Native functionality implemented in C++
- Communication between Java and C++ via JNI
- Built using Android Studio with CMake
- Java – Android framework and UI
- C++ – Native logic implementation
- JNI – Bridge between Java and C++
- Android Studio – Project IDE
- CMake – Native build system
Place your native files in the following directory:
android-project/app/src/main/cpp/testadd/
Include:
.solibrary file- Corresponding header (
.h) file
Update your CMakeLists.txt located at:
android-project/app/src/main/cpp/CMakeLists.txt
Ensure it properly includes and links your .so library and headers.
Use native-lib.cpp to call your JNI-exposed functions. File location:
android-project/app/src/main/cpp/native-lib.cpp
You can define your native methods here and link them with your Java classes.

- Make sure your
.sofile matches the target architecture (e.g.,armeabi-v7a,arm64-v8a, etc.). - Rebuild the project after modifying native code or CMake configuration.
Let me know if you'd like to include a code sample or a usage example as well.
