This problem occurs in pre-lollipop devices only. For higher versions it works as expected. Below is the full log:

Here is how I tried loading the libraries (Works fine on higher versions):
static {
System.loadLibrary("iconv");
}
I also read somewhere that you might have to load dependent libraries first. SO I also tried this:
static {
System.loadLibrary("zbarjni");
System.loadLibrary("iconv");
}
I still get the same error.
libiconv.so and libzbarjni.so are placed in all three folders (armeabi,armeabi-v7a and x86) under jnilibs.
Again, this works fine with devices running with lollipop and above. Is there a different procedure or folder structure I need to follow for older devices?
