Hello,

I am new to Kotlin Multiplatform. I want to make a mobile app in ios and android.
I am trying to implement a third party library written in C/C++.

I want to create the following function in androidMain :

fun setContext(currentActivity: Activity){
	connector.setUIContext(currentActivity) // this function is from the third party library
}

I wonder how I could access the type Activity. It looks it does not recognise it or the android api is not accessible.

Do I need to add anything in the build.gradle.kts?

Thanks for your help

you should config the android target in your gradle file, to setup an android lib, just like you would config in a android gradle prroject

all right make sense. Thank you very much I'll do that then.
