Android Studio - no way to associate C ++ with Gradle

Question

I am trying to access some CPP libraries from android and follow the instructions here:

https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/add-native-code.html#link-gradle

The problem is that there seems to be no “C ++ project link with Gradle” option when I right-click on the application module. Has anyone else had this problem? Have you decided this?

Answer 1

Check your build.gradle file for your application module. Mine was like the default Android project:

externalNativeBuild { cmake { path "CMakeLists.txt" } } 

I deleted the cmake section and ran the project again, and then finally the “Link C ++ Project with Gradle” project was available.
