Preloaded Android application with .so library file cannot be upgraded

I work for an operator, and we preload applications on Android phones.

However, some preloaded applications, once upgraded from Market, crash.

The problem is this:

- the application contains a .so library file

- in order to preload the complete application on a phone, the .so library file has to be placed separately into the lib directory (/system/lib/libXXXXjni.so)

- when the preloa开发者_运维百科ded application is upgraded from Market and run, instead of the .so library file in the new APK being found, the older preloaded .so file is found first - causing a crash, because the two .so fiels have differing contents

Does anyone have a suggested work-around, or knowledge of the library-searching algorthim which may help me solve this?

One possible solution might be to simply rename the library file, but is that enough?

Thanks in advance...

When you preload, try putting the applications library in: /data/data/com.package.foobar/lib/libXXXXjni.so

Renaming the library would work. Possibly using the app's version number as the name of the .so file. The build becomes more complicated though.
