[SOLVED] Undefined Function outside Header Error Android NDK

Undefined Function outside Header Error Android NDK

I am currently linking a static library to my Android Project which contains the functions I want to use, the problem that occurs is when I call a function from the static library in Android Project, and the function definition is in a .cpp file, my build fails. If that function is defined in a header through a class for example, the project compiles and runs.

The .cpp file is compiled with the definition and the project still outputs an error of no definition.

Edit: I noticed a new error message of the function outputting that it's not an ELF object.

Android Project Calls Function from Static Library:

Example.h
void example();

Example.cpp
void example()
{
} //Error

Example.h

class example
{
public:
  void example()
  {

  }//Compiles
}

Error:

Solution

I tried moving all my static library files to a new project and it seems that the previous static library Visual Studio project was corrupted, after moving over to a new clean project everything compiled.
