@DesktopECHO thank you so much. Utterly wild this isn't supported natively yet.

Does this allow things like the layout preview to work?

@elesbb no according to the comments from author on https://redd.it/1p38e15

EDIT: If you meant the above libskiko patch I'm not sure.

If you meant the above libskiko patch I'm not sure

Yes. I have Android Studio working, but the layout preview doesn't work. I have found that reddit link from google searches, and was wondering if this explicit libskiko patch fixed that

I'm thankful to see that people uses my silly projects in real hardware, cheers gang 🍻

@HomuHomu833 Thank you for your work on the Android ARM64 SDK/NDK, you've helped countless strangers along the way!

Thank you, I created a fork with bumped version numbers if anyone is interested
