Android binaries missing SONAME

[05nelsonm]

Describe the bug
Android showing a linker warning in Logcat about DT_SONAME missing when running tests.

See: https://android.googlesource.com/...

To Reproduce

1. Run on Android (after moving binaries to appropriate jniLibs directory)
2. See Logcat

Expected behavior
libsqlitejdbc.so file should contain SONAME

Logs

W linker  : Warning: "/data/app/~~zcxv3TIBZ-Oa1_orVxLcwQ==/io.toxicity.core.data.cipher.driver.test.test-kS081-J0c1_WfBlGIntTzg==/lib/x86_64/libsqlitejdbc.so" has no DT_SONAME (will use libsqlitejdbc.so instead) and will not work when the app moves to API level 23 or later (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/android-changes-for-ndk-developers.md#missing-soname-enforced-for-api-level-23) (allowing for now because this app's target API level is still 21)

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Android (Emulators API 24, 28, 33)
• CPU architecture: x86
• sqlite-jdbc version: 3.41.2.1

Hi, in the link you provided it mentions SONAME but you mentionDT_SONAME. So which one should it be, and what should it contain for Android, would you know?

Unsure. Logcat error uses DT_SONAME

Do you think you can find out? We would need more details to be able to fix it.

I tried various linker options without success, the attribute is not added.

Here is what i tried:

-soname,libsqlitejdbc.so
-install_name,libsqlitejdbc.so
-Wl-soname,libsqlitejdbc.so
-Wl-install_name,libsqlitejdbc.so
-Wl-soname

[gotson]

I was using the arguments incorrectly, it seems the following works: -Wl,-soname,libsqlitejdbc.so

readelf --dynamic libsqlitejdbc.so | grep SONAME
 0x000000000000000e (SONAME)             Library soname: [libsqlitejdbc.so]

@05nelsonm you can try the latest snapshot which contains the SONAME

Tried out 3.43.0.1-SNAPSHOT; no more warnings in Logcat.

Tested on x86 emulator for Android API 23, 24, 27, 33.

Seems fixed to me, thanks @gotson !
