Null pointer when finding libraries

[dbrnz]

I've successfully built the Webview test app for Python 3, NDK 19, API 24 and am now trying to get it to run -- starting the app gives "Attempting to get length of null array" when PythonActivity tries to load the application libraries.

I've traced this to addLibraryIfExists() in ./pythonforandroid/bootstraps/common/build/src/main/java/org/kivy/android/PythonUtil.java where it appears that libsDir doesn't exist and so the files variable is set to null. I'm uncertain as to how paths values in the debugger relate to those in the FileExplorer, but the debugger has the library path as /data/user/0/com.pandq.test/lib yet File Explorer shows the libraries inside /data/app/com.pandq.test-1/lib/arm64. Is some form of versioning going on?

This libsDir is issue is being addressed in #1701.

@dbrnz The PR #1701 that @j-devel linked has been merged, did that fix your issue?

Beyond that, maybe try NDK 17c instead of 19.

@inclement thanks, that did fix things. I'm all good with NDK 19 and Python 3, so closing.
