You need to do a runtime test. Read: android-ndk-r8b/docs/CPU-FEATURES.html On Tuesday, August 28, 2012 10:41:12 AM UTC+1, B.Arunkumar wrote: > > Hi, > >Thank you for your mail.

[android-developers] Re: Prevent Installation of armv7 neon compiled app on Non Neon Devices
Hi, Thank you for your mail. In the Application.mk, we have specified: APP_ABI := armeabi-v7a and in the Android.mk we have specified: ifeq ($(TARGET_ARCH_ABI),armeabi-v7a) LOCAL_CFLAGS := -DHAVE_NEON=1 LOCAL_MODULE := OnVRView LOCAL_SRC_FILES += VideoDecoder.cpp.neon LOCAL_ARM_NEON := true endif and so only the armeabi-v7a library gets generated in the project when compiled. Now when we upload the app to the PlayStore, will the app atleast not be visible to non armv-7 devices? So what you are saying is, check if armv-7 devices have neon support or not??

No. Neon instructions are not part of the ABI specification, which is what the device uses to determine which .so to load. You have to detect that at runtime OR you have to make the user make an informed decision about which shared library to use (which drastically decreases usability of your app).

Hi, What about upload to the Google PlayStore? If we compile the app for armv7 neon support, is it that Google PlayStore will automatically restrict the app from being seen on non-neon devices?
