Source

Initialize library functions. See example project ModPlay in Projects folder.

Here is a short list on how to convert parameter types between a dll and ZGE:

int,word,longword,byte,bool : int
float : float
LPCTSTR : string
QWORD,INT64 : define two int-parameters
STRUCTS and others - not available

BeforeInitExp

This expressions runs before the ZExternalLibrary loads so you can set ModuleName here based on the ANDROID constant. See the OpenGL component in the library for an example:

if(ANDROID)
  this.ModuleName="libGLESv1_CM.so";
