Description Andrew Esh 2016-11-21 17:01:16 UTC 
The Android packaging system ignores libraries that have version numbers. The attached patches remove them and set the soname references within the library so as to match the Android way of referring to libraries.

Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-11-21 17:05:08 UTC 
This is only relevant if using the shared libraries, which is not the recommended way of use on Android.
Comment 4 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2017-10-19 14:30:46 UTC 
Or am I missing something here?
Comment 5 Andrew Esh 2017-10-20 15:38:18 UTC 
We use shared libraries on Android to avoid the legal implications of releasing proprietary code that is statically linked with open source.
Comment 6 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2017-10-20 16:06:25 UTC 
GStreamer, all plugins and dependencies are statically linked into a single shared library on Android, so that you can keep your proprietary code completely separate from the Open Source code.
Comment 7 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2018-05-07 16:01:55 UTC 
We don't really support dynamic builds on Android, so let's close this for now. If you want to get these patches integrated I would suggest to provide them to the corresponding upstream projects.
