card.io in the Android SDK (using Android Studio) about paypal-android-sdk HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey there! When you select pay by credit card, the camera should open by default. If you only see a manual entry form, there's a problem. Please double check that you're allowing the right permissions (see the Sample app and/or readme instructions), and that you're using the latest version of the sdk. If you are unable to identity the problem, then check the logcat for anything suspicious.

Thanks for your reply!

Well i have found the problem! When i tried to compile the project in Eclipse, it worked (even the camera icon showed up on the button). But since i am using Android Studio, i tried to find the problem.

The SDK readme file has a line:

• Some tools (including IntelliJ) will require that you add libs/PayPalSDK.jar to their dependencies path.

But the thing is, there is nothing said about the static libraries that are not compiled by default, so to solve the problem, i added these lines to my build.gradle file:

task copyNativeLibs(type: Copy) {
from(new File('libs')) { include '**' }
into new File(buildDir, 'native-libs')
}
tasks.withType(Compile) { compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn copyNativeLibs }

clean.dependsOn 'cleanCopyNativeLibs'

tasks.withType(com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageApplication) { pkgTask ->
pkgTask.jniDir new File(buildDir, 'native-libs')
}

So now everything works as expected though it instantly added a 2.10MB to the apk size! Hope it helps someone.

Great! Glad you were able to resolve the problem. Regarding Gradle: we are not officially providing support until we get a certain set of missing features (specifically, ndk integration). When that happens, we'll jump in head first! 🔨
