Hi IOhannes,

I am not sure if it's still the case but at one time Android would not allow dynamically loaded libraries from storage. So there were vague plans to have the application copy all dlls into the data dir of the app itself before launching the patch but those never happened. Patches welcome!

Cheers,

Chris.

hi,

i'm currently trying to add support for building externals for android to pd-lib-builder.

it build nicely, but so far i was unnsueccessfull in using the external in PdDroidParty. (the patch that uses the external does not seem to do anything that indicates that the external is indeed used).

any pitfalls i should be aware of?

i don't even know whether PdDroidParty is supposed to load externals. if not, is there any other available android project i could use for testing?

i would rather not compile the host myself.

i'm aware that i might have missed some documentation and/or debugging options in PdDroidParty that might give me more info; but... so little time.

PS: oh, and i don't have google play store installed, so any project should either be available via f-droid or provide a direct apk download...
