Java – CMake could not find JNI

CMake could not find JNI… here is a solution to the problem.

CMake could not find JNI

I created a new Android Studio project that supports C++, but didn’t add anything to it. The project is built, compiled, and run using CMake. Then, I added the following two lines of code to the CMakeLists.txt at the bottom of the file, and I got the CMake build error.

find_package(Java COMPONENTS Development)       # Line 47
find_package(JNI REQUIRED)                      # Line 48

This is the error I encountered while building the project

-- Found Java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-oracle/bin/java (found version "10.0.1") found components:  Development 
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

External native generate JSON release: JSON generation completed with problems

CMake runs when invoked from the command line, but fails in Android Studio for some reason, I’m not sure why.

Edit 1

This is the CMakeOutput.log file

Edit 2

That’s all there is in the CMakeLists.txt file. It is compiled in cmd using the command cmake.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.4.1)

find_package(Java COMPONENTS Development)
find_package(JNI REQUIRED)

This is the command output

    E:\Users\xxxxx\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApplication\app\build>cmake ..

-- Build files have been written to: E:/Users/xxxxx/AndroidStudioProjects/MyApplication/app/build

When I try to compile using gradle to add it in Android Studio, I get the following error on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
