Failed to load dynamic library 'libtensorflowlite_jni.so':

[JoseGeorges8]

• Trying to run in an Android Physical Device.
• The code is very similar if not identical to one of the example apps.

This line fails:

interpreter = await Interpreter.fromAsset(modelPath);

With the following error:

[ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: 
Invalid argument(s): Failed to load dynamic library 'libtensorflowlite_jni.so': dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "strtod_l" referenced by "/data/app/com.pdl.tflite_poc-2/lib/arm64/libtensorflowlite_jni.so"...

Are there any set of installation instructions I didn't follow? I read something about an install.sh file I need to run to install dynamic libraries, but that didn't help as it seems like the libraries that added weren't what it was looking for. This is the file that I found which seems to be from the deprecated library.

Any help is appreciate it!!

So there shouldn't need to be an install script or anything like that now - the .so files are 'baked in' to the latest version of TFLite on Android. There's also a new sample for image classification that I just merged in that gets rid of needing to place your model files directly in the sample and is using a model with metadata labels instead of txt labels, so that might help you out as well.

Other than that, I'm honestly not sure :( I just ran on 10.1 without any issues, so hopefully it might even be resolved by now?

[DSMalaviya]

I am getting this error in some devices(Galaxy S6) and some devices I am not getting this error

[PaulTR]

@DSMalaviya Are you still seeing this issue with the latest version of TFLite? Also with a clean sample or MVP version of an app?

Yes in newer devices I am not getting error. But for older devices(Android 7 or 6) I am getting this error

[JoseGeorges8]

Just tested a newer device and seems like version 0.10.1 works for me as well (android 11)

[gianlucasama]

I need this working on Android 6 and higher, but on Android 6 it gives me this exact error. I have tested it on Android 10 and it works. Any suggestions? I'm also happy to contribute if it is needed.

[andynewman10]

It would be nice if this problem with older Android versions could be corrected.

In the meantime, it seems critical to me to specify in the README.md which Android version this tflite_flutter package is compatible with. Right now, no indication is given: https://pub.dev/packages/tflite_flutter

Is this Android 8+, 9+? Which API level?

[andynewman10]

Based on my tests, tflite_flutter requires API level 26 or higher (Android 8.x or later). Previous OS versions trigger the exception Failed to load dynamic library 'libtensorflowlite_jni.so', since strtod_l is not shipped with these systems.

Done https://github.com/tensorflow/flutter-tflite/pull/154

[andynewman10]

This is great - I believe you also need to change the minSdkVersion field in https://github.com/tensorflow/flutter-tflite/blob/main/android/build.gradle and specify

minSdkVersion 26

This way, Flutter projects targeting lower OS versions will not build.

I would be more than happy to recompile libtensorflowlite_jni.so, do some testing and see how the strtod_l error can be fixed. It is probably very (even extremely) easy to avoid using this specific function and instead use something else. I already raised this point on another issue but did not get any answer. I do need some pointers to get started, since this seems quite tricky :(

[PaulTR]

Alright sorry for the delay, it's Monday now and I'm back at my computer for the day :) I'll up that minSdkVersion this morning and publish the plugin again. I'm not actually sure if we need to recompile a .so file - we're using the gradle dependency for TFLite in Android rather than including the compiled versions of TFLite in the plugin (https://github.com/tensorflow/flutter-tflite/blob/main/android/build.gradle#L66C3-L66C3). If this is a bug in core TFLite, I think the raised issue there is the correct way about it. I'll ping around to see if anyone can check into it, but I can't make any promises with priorities and work already allocated for the quarter :(

[andynewman10]

Hi Paul, I investigated this a bit more.

It turns out the Gradle dependency you're using is the first version of Tensorflow Lite for Android that exhibits the incompatibility with Android versions lower than 8.

If you change the version to 2.11.0, it indeed works! You're currently using version 2.12.0. I also tried versions 2.13.0 and 2.14.0, and they all fail. It seems a problem was introduced between versions 2.11.0 and 2.12.0.

Compatibility with older Android versions is important, IMHO. I believe you should strongly consider updating your Gradle file to reflect the following change (and change the minSdkVersion value back to 21):

dependencies {
    def tflite_version = "2.12.0" // change to 2.11.0 to get rid of the libtensorflowlite_jni.so issue on Android 5/6/7

    implementation("org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite:${tflite_version}")
    implementation("org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite-gpu:${tflite_version}")
}

According to the following comment by @pjpratik , quote :

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/61951#issuecomment-1738540853

Have you tried compiling the libtensorflowlite_jni.so for amr64 with the the latest TF 2.13 and nightly pull and still observe the same error?

I take it that the incompatibility is NOT desired. It is there, but it is unfortunate and was not intended.

I strongly believe this should be fixed by the Tensorflow team and in the mean time, you should consider using 2.11.0.

(Note that pytorch_lite flutter had a minSdkVersion of 24, and they recently made it 21 to support the largest range of devices)

I would be very interested in this to be reverted to sdk version 21. Any news on this fix?

Thanks, Arno

[CaptainDario]

It seems like this is due to this plugin using tf lite 2.12 which introduced this compatibility problem reference. Anyone interested in a quick fix can use my fork with tf lite 2.11 where this should not happen.

I recently got the same error in Android 10, which is weird. Did anyone else experienced the same? As in, this error replicating in android 7+?

Hi Paul. I recently tried this example without making any changes. I executed sh ./scripts/download_model.sh and utilized the resulting model. Do you believe this code will still function if I substitute the model and labels with ones I created in Google Teachable Machine, without altering the code itself? Or would I need to modify some code, such as incorporating metadata as you mentioned? I attempted to use my model, but I'm unable to view the stats now.

I exported my model to TensorFlow Lite floating point. Being new to this, I hope someone can offer assistance. Thanks.

this is my model

[PaulTR]

It depends on the model, but you may need to make some changes to reflect input tensor size and the like. I'm not actually sure how metadata baked into the model works with this library off hand (it's been a bit since I took some time to play with it), so yeah that'd be another thing to take into consideration.
