android NDK:compilation error:libstdc++:multiple definition of `std::bad_exception::~bad_exception()'

While compiling the c++ code using android NDK I am getting the following error:

I am using APP_STL := stlport_static in the application.mk Can you guys help?

---

I finally found the answer by going through the CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html. There was a multiple definition of the exception class functions in stdc++ and stlport libraries. So instead of adding stlport library statically, I added it dynamically by changing APP_STL in the Application.mk as: APP_STL := stlport_shared

And it solved the problem :)

I was having the same problem, but the Nishant Soni's solution wasn't enough.

After assuring myself that there were no duplicate files or multiple declarations,what I did to solve was executing a Android Studio's Clean command. (Build -> Clean Project).

What caused the problem was maybe that I changed my project's path (moved the folder)

I took a long time to figure it out. Hope it helps!
