ReLinker is a Java library for Android that provides a robust replacement for System.loadLibrary, fixing intermittent UnsatisfiedLinkError crashes when loading native (JNI) libraries. It is needed mainly for apps with a minimum SDK below API 23.

Use cases

  • fix UnsatisfiedLinkError crashes when loading native libraries on Android
  • reliably load .so native libraries on older Android versions
  • replace System.loadLibrary with a more robust loader
  • handle intermittent native library loading failures on Android
  • support JNI libraries in apps with min SDK below 23

When to choose

  • your Android app bundles native libraries and supports min SDK below API 23
  • you see intermittent 'findLibrary returned null' or UnsatisfiedLinkError stack traces in production
  • you want a drop-in replacement for System.loadLibrary

When to avoid

  • your app's minimum SDK is API 23 (Marshmallow) or higher, where System.loadLibrary is safe
  • native library loading fails consistently, which indicates a configuration issue rather than the intermittent bugs ReLinker fixes
  • you are not developing for Android
