Cannot resolve corresponding JNI function with .so file

I'm completely new to JNI and I have to use an existing compiled .so file. The problem is that Android Studio isn't able to find JNI fuctions. I load my library with a code similiar to this:

public class MyService extends Service{

    static {
        System.loadLibrary("mylib");
    }

    private native void example();

}

and it gives me an error "Cannot resolve corresponding JNI function Java_com_company_app_MyService_example".

If I run this command (in a terminal)

arm-linux-androideabi-nm -DC mylib.so

I get, between others (I need only few functions of the library),

register_com_company_app_service(_JNIEnv*)

(instead of MyService there is service)

What can I do? Are there problems loading the library or what else?

I tried also to refractor class name "MyService" in "service" but "Java_com_company_app_service_example" wasn't resolved either!

Thanks in advance!

You need to keep in mind that the function signature must match its name in Java, and that it must be exported.
Also, member functions receive the object as a first parameter, and static functions receive the class.

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_Namespace_Class_MemberFunction
        (JNIEnv *, jobject);

 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_Namespace_Class_StaticFunction
        (JNIEnv *, jclass);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

So in your case it would be:

 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_com_company_app_MyService_example
        (JNIEnv *, jobject);
