I am doing a project on Beaglebone Black and i have ported Android KitKat on it. Now i need an android app that could help me access those gpios on beaglebone for a project.
So i am using android studio 1.3.1 to create my application for my project and so to access the hardware pins via android i have to use NDK for it. Now when i am trying to sync gradle 2.2.1 with my NDK files it prints an error that i should set android.useDeprecatedNdk=true. Now when i do that it again shows the error that DeprecatedNdk() is not defined. Although i have downloaded the latest version of NDK i.e. android-ndk-r10e from android developers website but the error still persists. Following is the build.gradle file from the module.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.packt.gpio"
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 19
ndk {
moduleName "packtHAL"
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.+'
}
Also the error that it is showing is:
Error:(14, 0) Error: NDK integration is deprecated in the current plugin.
Consider trying the new experimental plugin. For details, see http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/gradle-experimental.
Set "android.useDeprecatedNdk=true" in gradle.properties to continue using the current NDK integration.
And if i add the property to the file then it shows the following error:
Error:(6, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'useDeprecatedNdk()'
Possible causes:The project 'gpio' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.
The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin.
If anyone has any idea as to what should be done regarding this. Please share your ideas.
Thank you
