Android library instructions don't produce a working app.

[alidaf]

If I modify the android demo directly then the compiled app works. On
the other hand if I follow the directions at
https://cmusphinx.github.io/wiki/tutorialandroid/ for using it as a
library then it doesn't work (The app just closes) despite my java and
gradle files being the same.

I have imported the aars file.

The only deviation is due to the compile directive being deprecated for
implementation in the gradle file, i.e.

implementation project(':pocketsphinx-android-5prealpha-release')

and for some reason the following, as per the instructions, doesn't work:

implementation project(':aars')

Are there some other parts that are out of date?

I am not aware of such.
