Cannot get gomobile binding to work with java

Go version: 1.7.5

GOPATH = D:/GoWork

React Native version 0.41

Code below is the binding go package at D:\GoWork\src\rngo\rngo\rngo.go

Very simple, just returning a string

package rngo

// RNcall is used to bind with RN
func RNcall()  string {
    return "From Go platform"
}

Running the below command from > D:\GoWork\src\rngo

gomobile bind -target android -o rngo.aar -v  .

Verbose Output below seems to be fine

Successfully created rngo.aar since there is no error message and I can see that file at D:\GoWork\src\rngo\rngo.aar

I then manually import rngo.aar file into React Native project from android studio

1. File > New > New Module > Import .aar/.jar Package > #give the path to rngo.aar#
2. File > Project Structure > app > Dependencies > Module dependency > rngo.aar

Inside IDE, in MainActivity.java I can successfully do 'import go.rngo.*;', but I cannot get 'go.rngo.Rngo.RNcall()' or 'go.rngo.Rngo;' to work

Building this android app throws error 'cannot find symbol'

D:\RN\gomobile\android\app\src\main\java\com\gomobile\RngoModule.java:10: error: cannot find symbol

import go.rngo;
^

symbol: class rngo
location: package go

Conclusion

I am doing something horribly wrong, that I cannot get this simple thing to work. I wasted whole day on google but with no avail. Hence I need help getting this to work. All I need is a simple go code with that connects to react native hasselfree.

Thanks for reading all this. I appreciate it.

Thanks to eliasnaur. Finally, I got this working. As of go 1.7.* you dont have access to go package. Instead access your package directly like this

Before:

import go.rngo.Rngo;

After:(Since 1.7.*)

import rngo.Rngo;
