Android Studio: Error: Error:(205, 24) error: exception handling disabled, use -fexceptions to enable - android-studio

Question

I am very new to Android Studio. I am trying to build some Sqlite3 wrapper classes (written in C++). I tried to build them with NDK using Android studio, but I am getting error that "Error:(205, 24) error: exception handling disabled, use -fexceptions to enable". I am not able to find what option should I give in gradle.build file. I have seen many posts but they all refer to some Android.mk or Application.mk file. I have pasted content of my gradle.build file below:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.asite.ndksample"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
ndk{
moduleName "myLib"
stl "gnustl_static"
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
}
Let me know how to come out from this error using Android Studio with gradle.build file. Also let me know detail about all parameters mentioned under "ndk" section. I am not aware what all possible values can be put there.

Answer 1

you can use the cFlags parameter under the ndk section:
ndk{
moduleName "myLib"
stl "gnustl_static"
cFlags "-fexceptions"
}
The only other paramters you can use for this ndk configuration are ldLibs and abiFilter, to specify respectively required ndk libs (log...) and cpu architectures to compile for (x86, armeabi-v7a, x86_64...).
