Connecting to DJI Android SDK using Unity.

[kandabi]

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to integrate a blank unity project to the DJI SDK using a native plugin (aar file), and I've been struggling the past week trying to get it to work.
It seems that the DJI mobile sdk does not play well with unity, and that I'm not the only one struggling to get them both working at the same
I've followed the official documentation and managed to create a plugin that succesfully connects to the SDK, the issue is if I would use Unity to recompile that plugin and launch the game, It would simply crash on startup (no gradle or compile errores).

Integrate SDK into Application - DJI Mobile SDK Documentation

developer.dji.com

According to the docs, I must override the attachBaseContext() method to add the Helper.install(MApplication.this); line of code.
Doing so results in the following error:

2020-04-20 12:19:32.727 6473-6473/? E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: com.kandabi.DroneGame, PID: 6473

        at com.kandabi.droneplugin.MApplication.attachBaseContext(MApplication.java:13)
        at android.app.Application.attach(Application.java:215)

The necessary attachBaseContext override:

import com.secneo.sdk.Helper;
public class MApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context paramContext) {
        super.attachBaseContext(paramContext);
        Helper.install(MApplication.this);
    }
}

Gradle build:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 23

Gradle and Android Manifest file have been set up correctly I believe, I'd really appreciate if you could help me out as I'm pretty stumped right now! ?

Looks like it can't find com.secneo.sdk.Helper but I don't know how to fix it as I haven't used the DJI SDK before.

Yep, but com.secneo.sdk.Helper is inside the dji-sdk, the only reason It does not recognize it is because of Unity, as It has no problems recognizing that class if the plugin was loaded outside of unity..
