Not working if apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' is present in build.gradle

[shibakaneki]

Hello,

I followed your instuctions on your website to integrate libgdx in an existing kotlin project and it was not working. The problem was the presence of "apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'" in the build.gradle file.

Many people said that we should comment this line to make the compilation possible but that's not a solution because I want to use kotlin.

But I found a solution, we have to write it like this:

// called every time gradle gets executed, takes the native dependencies of
// the natives configuration, and extracts them to the proper libs/ folders
// so they get packed with the APK.
task copyAndroidNatives() {
doFirst {
file("libs/armeabi/").mkdirs()
file("libs/armeabi-v7a/").mkdirs()
file("libs/arm64-v8a/").mkdirs()
file("libs/x86_64/").mkdirs()
file("libs/x86/").mkdirs()

        configurations.natives.files.each { jar ->
            def outputDir = null
            if (jar.name.endsWith("natives-arm64-v8a.jar")) outputDir = file("libs/arm64-v8a")
            if (jar.name.endsWith("natives-armeabi-v7a.jar")) outputDir = file("libs/armeabi-v7a")
            if (jar.name.endsWith("natives-armeabi.jar")) outputDir = file("libs/armeabi")
            if (jar.name.endsWith("natives-x86_64.jar")) outputDir = file("libs/x86_64")
            if (jar.name.endsWith("natives-x86.jar")) outputDir = file("libs/x86")
            if (outputDir != null) {
                copy {
                    from zipTree(jar)
                    into outputDir
                    include "*.so"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

tasks.whenTaskAdded { packageTask ->
    if (packageTask.name.contains("package")) {
        packageTask.dependsOn 'copyAndroidNatives'
    }
}

Just for you to know ;)

Best regards!
