If you don't want to use JavaCV this works for me...
Download OpenCV Android SDK from http://opencv.org/downloads.html
Copy libopencv_info.so & libopencv_java.so from
OpenCV-2.?.?-android-sdk -> sdk -> native -> libs -> armeabi-v7a
to
Project Root -> Your Project -> lib - > armeabi-v7a
Zip the lib folder up and rename that zip to whatever-v7a.jar.
Copy this .jar file and place it in here in your project
Project Root -> Your Project -> libs
Add this line to your projects build.gradle in the dependencies section
compile files('libs/whatever-v7a.jar')
When you compile now you will probably see your .apk is about 4mb bigger.
(Repeat for "armeabi" if you want to support ARMv6 too, likely not needed anymore.)
Copy the java folder from here
OpenCV-2.?.?-android-sdk -> sdk
to
Project Root -> Your Project -> libs (Same place as your .jar file);
(You can rename the 'java' folder name to 'OpenCV')
In this freshly copied folder add a typical build.gradle file; I used this:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android-library'
repositories {
mavenCentral();
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 19
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
}
}
In your Project Root settings.gradle file change it too look something like this:
include ':Project Name:libs:OpenCV', ':Project Name'
In your Project Root -> Project Name -> build.gradle file in the dependencies section add this line:
compile project(':Project Name:libs:OpenCV')
Rebuild and you should be able to import and start using OpenCV in your project.
import org.opencv.android.OpenCVLoader;
...
if (!OpenCVLoader.initDebug()) {}
I know this if a bit of hack but I figured I would post it anyway.
