Android NDK ImageDecoder functions requires build error

Issue

I'm trying to get byte data of png file for GLES texture. I have my png file in app\source\main\assets.

Texture::Texture(const char *path) {
    AAsset* asset = loadAsset(path);

    AImageDecoder* decoder;
    int result = AImageDecoder_createFromAAsset(asset, &decoder);
    if(result != ANDROID_IMAGE_DECODER_SUCCESS){
        __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_VERBOSE, "Android2", "Texture constructor create decode FAIL. path: &s", path);
    }

    const AImageDecoderHeaderInfo* info = AImageDecoder_getHeaderInfo(decoder);
    this->width = AImageDecoderHeaderInfo_getWidth(info);
    this->height = AImageDecoderHeaderInfo_getHeight(info);

    size_t stride = AImageDecoder_getMinimumStride(decoder);
    size_t size = height * stride;
    void* pixels = malloc(size);
    result = AImageDecoder_decodeImage(decoder, pixels, stride, size);
    if(result != ANDROID_IMAGE_DECODER_SUCCESS){
        __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_VERBOSE, "Android2", "Texture constructor decode image FAIL. path: &s", path);
    }

    //GLES create texture and bind data(pixels)

    free(pixels);
    AAsset_close(asset);
}

but I got following build errors:

clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

in app build.gradle file, I set minSDKVersion to 30. I think I should link a library about ImageDecoder or do something in my CMakeLists.txt. but I'm not sure.

target_link_libraries(
        native-lib

        log
        android
        GLESv3
        box2d)

Solution

You need to link jnigraphics.

For example:

target_link_libraries(
        native-lib

        log
        android
        GLESv3
        box2d
        jnigraphics)

There's an example at the image-decoder sample project.
