Android NDK: No rule to make target

androidandroid-ndk

I'm trying to build a simple Android application using NDK.
Here are the contents of my Android.mk

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)  

include $(CLEAR_VARS)  

LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog  

LOCAL_MODULE    := myNDK
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := native.c

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

And when I'm running ndk-build I get:

make: * No rule to make target
'/native.c', needed by'/Users/ivan/Documents/workspace/TestNDK/obj/local/armeabi/objs/myNDK/native.o'.
Stop.

So the problem is obviously that make is searching the source files in the root directory and if I copy native.c to my root folder everything works perfectly.

The question is: what should I specify in my Android.mk to set the LOCAL_PATH to my working jni folder.

OK, I've solved my issue, and the reason was very strange: the problem is in the first line

'LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)____'

It had several spaces in the end (I've replaced them with '_'). If you remove them everything works just fine.

Hope that helps someone else.

Android – How to close/hide the Android soft keyboard programmatically

You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow, passing in the token of the window containing your focused view.

// Check if no view has focus:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases, you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY as the second parameter to ensure you only hide the keyboard when the user didn't explicitly force it to appear (by holding down the menu).

Note: If you want to do this in Kotlin, use: context?.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager

Kotlin Syntax

// Only runs if there is a view that is currently focused
this.currentFocus?.let { view ->
    val imm = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as? InputMethodManager
    imm?.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0)
}

Android – unique Android device ID

Settings.Secure#ANDROID_ID returns the Android ID as an unique for each user 64-bit hex string.

import android.provider.Settings.Secure;

private String android_id = Secure.getString(getContext().getContentResolver(),
                                                        Secure.ANDROID_ID);
