Gradle can not find ND4J Shared library in Android project

I’m working on this Android project that need both OpenCV and DL4J. But there is this conflict btw the two during dynamic linking.

In my app/src/main/jniLibs: I have to include arm64-v8a folder which has file libopencv_java3.so. However, now this causes the linker to try finding libdl.so and/or libjnind4jcpu.so in this arm64-v8a folder, which obviously won’t be there since DL4J is added from remote repository.

So, is there a way to explicitly tell Gradle to find libdl.so and/or libjnind4jcpu.so from the remote repository? Or what would be your way to find to solve this issue?
