I can't run the sample ndk-samples/tree/main/native-activity

[gmmo]

Hi, I need to understand how to handle touch events from the NDK side.

I downloaded the sample and it compiled. But when it is time to run, it always throws an exception as below:

I have a same question, did you resolve it?

[gmmo]

No, I need to get these touch events working on NDK, but I can't do it without a sample. Do you know how to resolve this?

[Intro1997]

@gmmo I don't know why, but it works if I try to remove android:hasCode="false" in AndroidManifest.xml file. And I found that android:hasCode="false" means telling system that doesn't try to load any application code(refer from here). And in tutorial here which also says that we need to use android:hasCode="false"

@Intro1997 it works with your path thx! I owe you cookies :) This is an important sample, I can't believe google leave it like that out of the box. @JChunyu check out @Intro1997 work around.
