Rive Android/app.rive.runtime.kotlin.core/Rive/init

init

fun init(context: Context, defaultRenderer: RendererType = RendererType.Rive)

Initializes Rive.

This loads the C++ libraries required to use Rive objects and then makes sure to initialize the C++ environment.

If you're still running into native loading issues (for example with split APKs / dynamic feature delivery), you can load native libs yourself and then call initializeCppEnvironment.

System.loadLibrary("c++_shared")
System.loadLibrary("rive-android")
// or if you're using split APKs / dynamic feature delivery:
SplitInstallHelper.loadLibrary(context, "c++_shared")
SplitInstallHelper.loadLibrary(context, "rive-android")
Rive.initializeCppEnvironment()

For split APK / on-demand feature delivery, native libraries can live outside the base APK. In those setups, call SplitInstallHelper.loadLibrary(...) from the split context before calling initializeCppEnvironment.

Parameters

defaultRenderer

The default renderer to use when initializing File or RiveAnimationView. Defaults to RendererType.Rive.

Throws

UnsatisfiedLinkError

if native libraries cannot be loaded.
