Android java.lang.illegalargumentexception unable to find native library main

I need your help. Am struggling with this bug for sometime. Thanks for your help.

Do let me know if you need more information.

I am developing a game with custom android activities. So I created a sample project and changed the source code to handle custom android activity. I got it to compile and build the app properly, but when I run it, i get an error message. The log cat has the following error message:

I got it to work. The problems I noticed seems specific to my project and I don't know why this is so. Here is what I found:

1) For some reason, the method MakeApk in UEDeployAndroid.cs delets the files as part of the clean up. During the clean-up, it also deletes the project's build.xml. You can see this in line 1936 in the file UEDeployAndroid.cs. I am not sure why the cleanup deletes the build.xml. Now since the build.xml is deleted, the Ant does not build the project. Hence I had to run the command 'android update project'. I was able to use commandline build tools to continue the build process.

2) Everytime the UE editor updates the project, it seems to create a new version the native library libUE4.so. Hence it is not finding the library when I run the GameActivity.java. I was able to use dumpsys to find out the folder path and the native library versions. Deleting the olde packages before reinstalling works.

Thanks

Your meta-data is wrong: main is the default native library name if not specified in the manifest, see https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NativeActivity.html

Or maybe your derived Activity ignores the manifest. NativeActivity was not built to be extended, so you should be extra-careful.
