Thanks all for the helps and suggestions. But unfortunately, the result is same: "Unfortunately, Project1 has stopped."

Although, I'm still not able to produce correct APK for Android Intel 64-bit, here I post all the things I found. Hope it would be useful for someone who is willing to try and for LazForApk/laz4Android future improvement.

Quote
1. Extract the apk and see if the file structure is correct. Under the unzipped directory, there is a "lib" folder and there should be 2 sub-folders(armeabi & x86) in "lib". Check if the files in those 2 sub folders correspond to the CPU structure.

I now able to produce x86 only and fat binaries (armeabi & x86). But the code just won't run on my phone. It make me think that the problem wasn't my failure to create x86 lib in the apk file.

On my previous attempts, I failed to build x86 lib in the apk file because of 2 reasons:

1. On the Lazarus - Project Settings, I didn't notice that I have to change "android\libs\armeabi\liblclapp" to "android\libs\x86\liblclapp" on the Path > Target File Name setting. It caused the result file (x86 code) to be saved in the folder named armeabi.

2. The script file "build_debug_apk.bat" generated by LazForApk contain hardcoded text "armeabi" but without "x86". So I have to manually added the text "x86".

Quote
2. Write a simplest "Hello World" test app to see whether it works. If it works, maybe there's something wrong in your code?

I didn't write my own code for the tests. But I used the default test project generated by LazForApk. So it makes me think that perhaps the default test project generated by LazForApk or the Custom Drawn package might ever call any function that is only for arm machines, which is not compatible with Intel 64-bit.

Quote
Library Path:
$(LazarusDir)\Android_NDK\platforms\android-9\arch-x86\usr\lib;
$(LazarusDir)\Android_NDK\toolchains\x86-4.8\prebuilt\windows\lib\gcc\i686-linux-android\4.8

and no Custom Options.

Maybe you missed my second library path.

I have tested with the second library path added + with/without custom options. I also have tried with:
- ...\platforms\android-9\...
- ...\platforms\android-16\...
- ...\toolchains\x86-4.8\...\i686-linux-android\4.8
- ...\toolchains\x86-4.8\...\i686-linux-android\4.9

Quote
I think it's not laz4android problems , laz4android is support android x86 compiled ok.
I think maybe when the Laztoapk build the APK file, it's not include x86 folder into the android APK file.
please try use the attachments(build_debug_apk_new.bat) to build the APK file.

Thank you truetom for the new script file. It can't run, but I managed to fix it by changing the paths to mine. Also there was one missing file on this line:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. REM Convert the java bytecode to dalvik bytecode
  2. call java -Djava.ext.dirs=%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools\lib\ -jar %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools\lib\dx.jar --dex --verbose --output=%APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\classes.dex %APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\classes

The code above (in build_debug_apk_new.bat) need to be changed to:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. REM DX to convert the java bytecode to dalvik bytecode
  2. call java -Djava.ext.dirs=%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools\lib\ -jar %ANDROID_HOME%\build-tools\%SDK_BUILDTOOLS%\lib\dx.jar --dex --verbose --output=%APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\classes.dex %APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\classes

The difference is the file "..\lib\dx.jar" should not be be located under "...\platform-tools" because there no such file in that location. It works if I changed it to "...\build-tools\%SDK_BUILDTOOLS%\lib\dx.jar"

Now the new script file is able to run correctly.

Quote
did you look at the sourcecode of laztoapk?
You try to use laztoapk to build x86 android apps. This is not supported by laztoapk.
I would need to change things in laztoapk.
If you look at the code
http://sourceforge.net/p/laztoapk/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/source/apkmanagermain.pas#l965
and search for "CopyNDKFilesToFPC" you will see that laztoapk copies only arm -stuff from the ndk folder into the  laz4android folder.

Yep, I had already noticed it and tested to copy the x86 version of NDK files before you told me. But I just re-performed the test again with combining all the suggestions (as I mentioned above), but still got the same error.

Can anyone tell me, my phone is Intel Atom 64-bit, is it able to run code that compiled by Lazarus with Intel I386 setting? Or must I change the Lazarus Target CPU Family setting to x86_64? I tried to change it to x86_64, but it can't because it hasn't cross compile to that target.

Those above are what I found so far, hope it can be useful for others.

Excuse me....

Did somebody encounter library problem with latest 3 versions of Laz4Android?

The following code works fine with previous version, but with recent 3 versions it compiles but crashs when running on Android 2.3.3(API10).

Did FPC changes something with JNI  rule?

-- FPC code --
library testjni;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses
  JNI;

Function MyAdd(Env: pJNIEnv;this:JObject;a,b:JDouble):JDouble;Cdecl;
begin
Result:=a+b;
end;

Function JNI_OnLoad(VM: PJavaVM;Reserved: Pointer):JInt;Cdecl;
begin
Result:=JNI_VERSION_1_4;
end;

Procedure JNI_OnUnload(VM: PJavaVM;Reserved: Pointer);Cdecl;
begin
end;

Exports

MyAdd name 'Java_Test_TestJNI_MyAdd',

JNI_OnLoad,
JNI_OnUnLoad;

begin
end.

-- Java code --
package Test;
public class TestJNI {
        static
        {
                System.loadLibrary("testjni");               
        }
               
        public static native double MyAdd(double a, double b);
}
--
Project Options:
Libraries path setup
$(LazarusDir)\Android_NDK\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib

Android / arm / ARMV6
--
Do I miss anything?

Thanks for your kindly help.

Hello TrueTom!

I installed the LAMW in the new release "laz4android1.4.4-FPC3.0.0RC2"
and build a new "Lamw GUI" project ...but when I tried to compile[build], I got the error:

Well, if I close and reopen again Lazarus everything is ok....

Note:

laz4android1.5-50093-FPC3.1.1 also had the same error/problem

laz4android1.5-49903-FPC3.1.1 ... works fine!

OKay, I found where the problem is. I use another computer(my laptop is too old to run modern Android) to run the simulator of Android 4.3.1(API 18, armeabi-v7a) and everything become so smooth. The previous test I did is with Android 2.3.3.(API10, armeabi)

But here comes another big question mark. Will the later FPC no longer support old Android version(2.X) or armeabi architecture? For my app, some users still hold a smartphone over 5 years!(such like moto defy) If those old versions will be unsupported, it really could be a big issue for me. Maybe temporarily I would still use the Laz4Android released in July, 2015.

Thanks truetom! I appreciate your kindly help. :)

Hello ChenYuChih,
OK , now I build a FPC 4in1 rapid update package:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/laz4android/files/FreePascal/

I think it's fixed your problem.

For an explanation of FPC 4in1 updates:
This update package is used to replace the FPC of laz4android entire folders, rapid upgrade FPC compiler, so don't need to download and install the laz4android again, in order to achieve the purpose of rapid upgrade laz4android.
Note that after replacement, please execute the batch file create-fpc.cfg.bat.

Thanks and best regards!

Hello truetom,

thank you for fixing / maintaining laz4android!

I am preparing a new bundle of laztoapk.
The installer of laztoapk downloads the latest laz4android from sourceforge.net  http://sourceforge.net/p/laztoapk/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/install/laztoapk.iss

Now you created a "FPC 4in1 rapid update package" for laz4android.
Question: Will you integrate this into RC3 or do I need to change my install script and download both files?

Regards,
Sam

Hello DelphiFreak,

Sure , I will continue update laz4android installer and 7z file.
When the FPC 3.0.0 rc3 or FPC 3.0.0 official version is release , I will test it and update laz4android too.
But now I think release a rapid upgrade package for laz4andorid which can save more time and quick response.

about laztoapk ,  I think we can wait FPC 3.0.0 rc3 or official release .
I am waiting too.

Thanks and best regards!

Hello TrueTom!

after a re-install and point  "startlazarus.exe"  to  "C:\laz4android"
not  to ".\"  the problem was solved!
