-
-Using OpenCV4Android SDK with Eclipse
-*************************************
-
-This tutorial was tested using Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7 SP1 operating systems.
-However, it should also work with any other **OS**\ , supported by Android SDK.
-If you encounter any error after thoroughly following these steps, feel free to contact us via `OpenCV4Android <https://groups.google.com/group/android-opencv/>`_ discussion group or OpenCV `Q&A forum <http://answers.opencv.org>`_ . We'll do our best to help you out.
-
-Quick environment setup for Android development
-===============================================
-
-If you are making a clean environment install, then you can try `Tegra Android Development Pack <http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra-android-development-pack>`_
-(**TADP**) released by **NVIDIA**.
-
-When unpacked, TADP will cover all of the environment setup automatically and you can go straight to the section :ref:`Get_the_OpenCV_package_for_Android_development`.
-
-If you are a beginner in Android development then we also recommend you to start with TADP.
-
-.. note:: *NVIDIA*\ 's Tegra Android Development Pack includes some special features for |Nvidia_Tegra_Platform|_ but its use is not limited to *Tegra* devices only.
-
- * You need at least *1.6 Gb* free disk space for the install.
-
- * TADP will download Android SDK platforms and Android NDK from Google's server, so Internet connection is required for the installation.
-
- * TADP may ask you to flash your development kit at the end of installation process. Just skip this step if you have no |Tegra_Ventana_Development_Kit|_\ .
-
- * (``UNIX``) TADP will ask you for *root* in the middle of installation, so you need to be a member of *sudo* group.

-Manual environment setup for Android Development
-================================================
-
-You need the following to be installed:
-
-#. **Sun JDK 6**
-
- Visit `Java SE Downloads page <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/>`_ and download an installer for your OS.
-
- Here is a detailed :abbr:`JDK (Java Development Kit)` `installation guide <http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html#installing-the-jdk>`_
- for Ubuntu and Mac OS (only JDK sections are applicable for OpenCV)
-
- .. note:: OpenJDK is not suitable for Android development, since Android SDK supports only Sun JDK.
- If you use Ubuntu, after installation of Sun JDK you should run the following command to set Sun java environment:
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun
-
-#. **Android SDK**
-
- Get the latest ``Android SDK`` from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
-
- Here is Google's `install guide <http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html>`_ for the SDK.
-
- .. note:: If you choose SDK packed into a Windows installer, then you should have 32-bit JRE installed. It is not a prerequisite for Android development, but installer is a x86 application and requires 32-bit Java runtime.
-
- .. note:: If you are running x64 version of Ubuntu Linux, then you need ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems to be installed. You can install them with the following command:
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
-
- For Red Hat based systems the following command might be helpful:
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- sudo yum install libXtst.i386
-
-#. **Android SDK components**
-
- You need the following SDK components to be installed:
-
- * *Android SDK Tools, revision14* or newer.
-
- Older revisions should also work, but they are not recommended.
-
- * *SDK Platform Android 3.0, API 11* and *Android 2.3.1, API 9*.
-
- The minimal platform supported by OpenCV Java API is **Android 2.2** (API 8). This is also the minimum API Level required for the provided samples to run.
- See the ``<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8"/>`` tag in their **AndroidManifest.xml** files.
- But for successful compilation of some samples the **target** platform should be set to Android 3.0 (API 11) or higher. It will not prevent them from running on Android 2.2.
-
- .. image:: images/android_sdk_and_avd_manager.png
- :alt: Android SDK Manager
- :align: center
-
- See `Adding SDK Components <http://developer.android.com/sdk/adding-components.html>`_ for help with installing/updating SDK components.
-
-#. **Eclipse IDE**
-
- Check the `Android SDK System Requirements <http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html>`_ document for a list of Eclipse versions that are compatible with the Android SDK.
- For OpenCV 2.4.x we recommend Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) or later versions. They work well for OpenCV under both Windows and Linux.
-
- If you have no Eclipse installed, you can get it from the `official site <http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/>`_.
-
-#. **ADT plugin for Eclipse**
-
- These instructions are copied from `Android Developers site <http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#downloading>`_, check it out in case of any ADT-related problem.
-
- Assuming that you have Eclipse IDE installed, as described above, follow these steps to download and install the ADT plugin:
-
- #. Start Eclipse, then select :menuselection:`Help --> Install New Software...`
- #. Click :guilabel:`Add` (in the top-right corner).
- #. In the :guilabel:`Add Repository` dialog that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for the Name and the following URL for the Location:
-
- https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
-
- #. Click :guilabel:`OK`
-
- .. note:: If you have trouble acquiring the plugin, try using "http" in the Location URL, instead of "https" (https is preferred for security reasons).
-
- #. In the :guilabel:`Available Software` dialog, select the checkbox next to :guilabel:`Developer Tools` and click :guilabel:`Next`.
- #. In the next window, you'll see a list of the tools to be downloaded. Click :guilabel:`Next`.
- #. Read and accept the license agreements, then click :guilabel:`Finish`.
-
- .. note:: If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or validity of the software can't be established, click :guilabel:`OK`.
-
- #. When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.
-
-.. _Get_the_OpenCV_package_for_Android_development:
-
-Get the OpenCV4Android SDK
-==========================
-
-#. Go to the `OpenCV dowload page on SourceForge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-android/>`_ and download the latest available version. Currently it's |opencv_android_bin_pack_url|_
-
-#. Create a new folder for development for Android with OpenCV. For this tutorial I have unpacked OpenCV to the :file:`C:\\Work\\OpenCV4Android\\` directory.
-
- .. note:: Better to use a path without spaces in it. Otherwise you will probably have problems with :command:`ndk-build`.
-
-#. Unpack the OpenCV package into the chosen directory.
-
- You can unpack it using any popular archiver (e.g with |seven_zip|_):
-
- .. image:: images/android_package_7zip.png
- :alt: Exploring OpenCV package with 7-Zip
- :align: center
-
- On Unix you can use the following command:
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- unzip ~/Downloads/OpenCV-2.4.2-android-sdk.zip
-
-.. |opencv_android_bin_pack| replace:: OpenCV-2.4.2-android-sdk.zip
-.. _opencv_android_bin_pack_url: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-android/2.4.2/OpenCV-2.4.2-android-sdk.zip/download
-.. |opencv_android_bin_pack_url| replace:: |opencv_android_bin_pack|
-.. |seven_zip| replace:: 7-Zip
-.. _seven_zip: http://www.7-zip.org/
-
-Open OpenCV library and samples in Eclipse
-==========================================
-
-#. Start *Eclipse* and choose your workspace location.
-
- I recommend to start familiarizing yourself with OpenCV for Android from a new clean workspace. So I have chosen my OpenCV package directory for the new workspace:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_1_choose_workspace.png
- :alt: Choosing C:\Work\android-opencv\ as workspace location
- :align: center
-
-#. Configure your ADT plugin.
-
- .. important:: In most cases the ADT plugin finds Android SDK automatically, but sometimes it fails and shows the following prompt:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_1a_locate_sdk.png
- :alt: Locating Android SDK
- :align: center
-
- Select :guilabel:`Use existing SDKs` option, browse for Android SDK folder and click :guilabel:`Finish`.
-
- To make sure the SDK folder is set correctly do the following step taken from `Configuring the ADT Plugin <http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Configure>`_ tutorial by *Google*:
-
- * Select :menuselection:`Window --> Preferences...` to open the Preferences panel (Mac OS X: :menuselection:`Eclipse --> Preferences`):
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_2_window_preferences.png
- :alt: Select Window > Preferences...
- :align: center
-
- * Select :guilabel:`Android` in the left panel.
-
- You may see a dialog asking whether you want to send usage statistics to *Google*. If so, make your choice and click :guilabel:`Proceed`.
-
- If the Android SDK folder isn't configured you'll see the following:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_3_preferences_android.png
- :alt: Select Android from the left panel
- :align: center
-
- * To locate the SDK manually, click :guilabel:`Browse...`.
-
- * Click :guilabel:`Apply` button at the bottom right corner of main panel.
-
- If the SDK folder is already configured correctly you'll see something like this:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_4_locate_sdk.png
- :alt: Locate Android SDK
- :align: center
-
- * Click :guilabel:`OK` to close preferences dialog.
-
-#. Import OpenCV and samples into workspace.
-
- OpenCV library is packed as a ready-for-use `Android Library Project
- <http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/index.html#LibraryProjects>`_. You can simply reference it in your projects.
-
- Each sample included into the |opencv_android_bin_pack| is a regular Android project that already references OpenCV library.
- Follow the steps below to import OpenCV and samples into the workspace:
-
- * Right click on the :guilabel:`Package Explorer` window and choose :guilabel:`Import...` option from the context menu:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_5_import_command.png
- :alt: Select Import... from context menu
- :align: center
-
- * In the main panel select :menuselection:`General --> Existing Projects into Workspace` and press :guilabel:`Next` button:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_6_import_existing_projects.png
- :alt: General > Existing Projects into Workspace
- :align: center
-
- * In the :guilabel:`Select root directory` field locate your OpenCV package folder. Eclipse should automatically locate OpenCV library and samples:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_7_select_projects.png
- :alt: Locate OpenCV library and samples
- :align: center
-
- * Click :guilabel:`Finish` button to complete the import operation.
-
- After clicking :guilabel:`Finish` button Eclipse will load all selected projects into workspace. Numerous errors will be indicated:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_8_false_alarm.png
- :alt: Confusing Eclipse screen with numerous errors
- :align: center
-
- However, **all these errors are only false-alarms**!
-
- To get rid of these misleading error notifications select OpenCV library in :guilabel:`Package Explorer` and press :kbd:`F5`. Then select a sample (except first samples in *Tutorial Base* and *Tutorial Advanced*) and press :kbd:`F5` again.
-
- In some cases these errors disappear after :menuselection:`Project --> Clean... --> Clean all --> OK`.
-
- Sometimes more advanced manipulations are required:
-
- * The provided projects are configured for `API 11` target that can be missing platform in your Android SDK. After right click on any project select :guilabel:`Properties` and then :guilabel:`Android` on the left pane. Click some target with `API Level` 11 or higher:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_8a_target.png
- :alt: Updating target
- :align: center
-
- Eclipse will rebuild your workspace and error icons will disappear one by one:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_9_errors_dissapearing.png
- :alt: After small help Eclipse removes error icons!
- :align: center
-
- Once Eclipse completes build you will have the clean workspace without any build errors:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_10_crystal_clean.png
- :alt: OpenCV package imported into Eclipse
- :align: center
-
-Running OpenCV Samples
-======================
-
-At this point you should be able to build and run all samples except ``face-detection``, ``Tutorial 3`` and ``Tutorial 4``. These samples include native code and require Android NDK to build working applications, see the next tutorial :ref:`Android_Binary_Package_with_NDK` to learn how to compile them.
-
-Also, please consider that ``Tutorial 0 - Android Camera`` and ``Tutorial 1 - Add OpenCV`` samples are able to run on emulator from the Android SDK. Other samples use OpenCV Native Camera which may not work with emulator.
-
-.. note:: Latest *Android SDK tools, revision 19* can run ARM v7a OS images but *Google* provides such image for Android 4.x only.
-
-Well, running samples from Eclipse is very simple:
-
-* Connect your device with :command:`adb` tool from Android SDK or create emulator with camera support.
-
- * See `Managing Virtual Devices
- <http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/index.html>`_ document for help with Android Emulator.
- * See `Using Hardware Devices
- <http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html>`_ for help with real devices (not emulators).
-
-
-* Select project you want to start in :guilabel:`Package Explorer` and just press :kbd:`Ctrl + F11` or select option :menuselection:`Run --> Run` from the main menu, or click :guilabel:`Run` button on the toolbar.
-
- .. note:: Android Emulator can take several minutes to start. So, please, be patient.
-
-* On the first run Eclipse will ask you about the running mode for your application:
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_11_run_as.png
- :alt: Run sample as Android Application
- :align: center
-
-* Select the :guilabel:`Android Application` option and click :guilabel:`OK` button. Eclipse will install and run the sample.
-
- Chances are that on the first launch you will not have the `OpenCV Manager <https://docs.google.com/a/itseez.com/presentation/d/1EO_1kijgBg_BsjNp2ymk-aarg-0K279_1VZRcPplSuk/present#slide=id.p>`_ package installed. In this case you will see the following message:
-
- .. image:: images/android_emulator_opencv_manager_fail.png
- :alt: You will see this message if you have no OpenCV Manager installed
- :align: center
-
- To get rid of the message you will need to install `OpenCV Manager` and the appropriate `OpenCV binary package`. Simply tap :menuselection:`Yes` if you have *Google Play Market* installed on your device/emulator. It will redirect you to the corresponding page on *Google Play Market*.
-
- If you have no access to the *Market*, which is often the case with emulators — you will need to install the packages from OpenCV4Android SDK folder manually. Open the console/terminal and type in the following two commands:
-
- .. code-block:: sh
- :linenos:
-
- <Android SDK path>/platform-tools/adb install <OpenCV4Android SDK path>/apk/OpenCV_2.4.2_Manager.apk
- <Android SDK path>/platform-tools/adb install <OpenCV4Android SDK path>/apk/OpenCV_2.4.2_binary_pack_armv7a.apk
-
- If you're running Windows, that will probably look like this:
-
- .. image:: images/install_opencv_manager_with_adb.png
- :alt: Run these commands in the console to install OpenCV Manager
- :align: center
-
- When done, you will be able to run OpenCV samples on your device/emulator seamlessly.
-
-* Here is ``Tutorial 2 - Use OpenCV Camera`` sample, running on top of stock camera-preview of the emulator.

-
-How to use OpenCV library project in your application
-=====================================================
-
-In this section we will explain how to make some existing project to use OpenCV.
-Starting with 2.4.2 release for Android, *OpenCV Manager* is used to provide apps with the best available version of OpenCV.
-You can get more information here: `Intro slides <https://docs.google.com/a/itseez.com/presentation/d/1EO_1kijgBg_BsjNp2ymk-aarg-0K279_1VZRcPplSuk/present#slide=id.p>`_ and :ref:`Android_OpenCV_Manager`.
-
-Application development with async initialization
--------------------------------------------------
-
-Using async initialization is a **recommended** way for application development. It uses the OpenCV Manager to access OpenCV libraries.
-
-#. Add OpenCV library project to your workspace. Use menu :guilabel:`File –> Import –> Existing project in your workspace`,
- press :guilabel:`Browse` button and locate OpenCV4Android SDK (:file:`OpenCV-2.4.2-android-sdk/sdk`).
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_opencv_dependency0.png
- :alt: Add dependency from OpenCV library
- :align: center
-
-#. In application project add a reference to the OpenCV Java SDK in :guilabel:`Project –> Properties –> Android –> Library –> Add` select ``OpenCV Library - 2.4.2``.
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_opencv_dependency1.png
- :alt: Add dependency from OpenCV library
- :align: center
-
-To use OpenCV Manager-based approach you need to install packages with the `Manager` and `OpenCV binary pack` for you platform.
-You can do it using Google Play Market or manually with ``adb`` tool:
-
- .. code-block:: sh
- :linenos:
-
- <Android SDK path>/platform-tools/adb install <OpenCV4Android SDK path>/apk/OpenCV_2.4.2_Manager.apk
- <Android SDK path>/platform-tools/adb install <OpenCV4Android SDK path>/apk/OpenCV_2.4.2_binary_pack_armv7a.apk
-
-There is a very base code snippet implementing the async initialization. It shows basic principles. See the "15-puzzle" OpenCV sample for details.
-
-.. code-block:: java
- :linenos:
-
- public class MyActivity extends Activity implements HelperCallbackInterface
- {
- private BaseLoaderCallback mOpenCVCallBack = new BaseLoaderCallback(this) {
- @Override
- public void onManagerConnected(int status) {
- switch (status) {
- case LoaderCallbackInterface.SUCCESS:
- {
- Log.i(TAG, "OpenCV loaded successfully");
- // Create and set View
- mView = new puzzle15View(mAppContext);
- setContentView(mView);
- } break;
- default:
- {
- super.onManagerConnected(status);
- } break;
- }
- }
- };
-
- /** Called when the activity is first created. */
- @Override
- public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
- {
- Log.i(TAG, "onCreate");
- super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
-
- Log.i(TAG, "Trying to load OpenCV library");
- if (!OpenCVLoader.initAsync(OpenCVLoader.OPENCV_VERSION_2_4_2, this, mOpenCVCallBack))
- {
- Log.e(TAG, "Cannot connect to OpenCV Manager");
- }
- }
-
- // ...
- }
-
-It this case application works with OpenCV Manager in asynchronous fashion. ``OnManagerConnected`` callback will be called in UI thread, when initialization finishes.
-Please note, that it is not allowed to use OpenCV calls or load OpenCV-dependent native libs before invoking this callback.
-Load your own native libraries that depend on OpenCV after the successful OpenCV initialization.
-
-Application development with static initialization
---------------------------------------------------
-
-According to this approach all OpenCV binaries are included into your application package. It is designed mostly for development purposes.
-This approach is deprecated for the production code, release package is recommended to communicate with OpenCV Manager via the async initialization described above.
-
-#. Add the OpenCV library project to your workspace the same way as for the async initialization above.
- Use menu :guilabel:`File –> Import –> Existing project in your workspace`, push :guilabel:`Browse` button and select OpenCV SDK path (:file:`OpenCV-2.4.2-android-sdk/sdk`).
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_opencv_dependency0.png
- :alt: Add dependency from OpenCV library
- :align: center
-
-#. In the application project add a reference to the OpenCV4Android SDK in :guilabel:`Project –> Properties –> Android –> Library –> Add` select ``OpenCV Library - 2.4.2``;
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_opencv_dependency1.png
- :alt: Add dependency from OpenCV library
- :align: center
-
-#. If your application project **doesn't have a JNI part**, just copy the OpenCV native libs to your project directory to folder :file:`libs/target_arch/`.
-
- In case of the application project **with a JNI part**, instead of manual libraries copying you need to modify your ``Android.mk`` file:
- add the following two code lines after the ``"include $(CLEAR_VARS)"`` and before ``"include path_to_OpenCV-2.4.2-android-sdk/sdk/native/jni/OpenCV.mk"``
-
- .. code-block:: make
- :linenos:
-
- OPENCV_CAMERA_MODULES:=on
- OPENCV_INSTALL_MODULES:=on
-
- The result should look like the following:
-
- .. code-block:: make
- :linenos:
-
- include $(CLEAR_VARS)
-
- # OpenCV
- OPENCV_CAMERA_MODULES:=on
- OPENCV_INSTALL_MODULES:=on
- include ../../sdk/native/jni/OpenCV.mk
-
- After that the OpenCV libraries will be copied to your application :file:`libs` folder during the JNI part build.
-
- Eclipse will automatically include all the libraries from the :file:`libs` folder to the application package (APK).
-
-#. The last step of enabling OpenCV in your application is Java initialization code before call to OpenCV API.
- It can be done, for example, in the static section of the ``Activity`` class:
-
- .. code-block:: java
- :linenos:
-
- static {
- if (!OpenCVLoader.initDebug()) {
- // Handle initialization error
- }
- }
-
- If you application includes other OpenCV-dependent native libraries you should load them **after** OpenCV initialization:
-
- .. code-block:: java
- :linenos:
-
- static {
- if (!OpenCVLoader.initDebug()) {
- // Handle initialization error
- } else {
- System.loadLibrary("my_jni_lib1");
- System.loadLibrary("my_jni_lib2");
- }
- }
-
-What's next?

-Using OpenCV in C++ code with OpenCV4Android SDK
-************************************************
-
-The Android way is writing all your code in Java. But sometimes, it is not enough and you need to go to the native level and write some parts of your application in C/C++.
-This is especially important when you already have some computer vision code which is written in C++ and uses OpenCV, and you want to reuse it in your Android application.
-In this case the only way is to use `JNI <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/>`_ - a Java framework for interaction with native code.
-It means, that you should add a Java class with native methods exposing your C++ functionality to the Java part of your Android application.
-
-This tutorial describes a fast way to create and build Android applications containing OpenCV code written in C++. It shows how to build an application which uses OpenCV inside its JNI calls. Tutorial 3 and 4 from the OpenCV for Android SDK can be used as examples. OpenCV Sample "face-detect" also contain a call to C++ class.
-
-Please note that before starting this tutorial you should go through all the steps, described in the tutorial :ref:`Android_Binary_Package`.
-
-This tutorial was tested using Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7 SP1 operating systems.
-However, it should also work on Mac OS X.
-If you encounter any error after thoroughly following these steps, feel free to contact us via `OpenCV4Android <https://groups.google.com/group/android-opencv/>`_ discussion group or OpenCV `Q&A forum <http://answers.opencv.org>`_ . We'll do our best to help you out.
-
-Prerequisites: Setup Android NDK
-================================
-
-To compile C++ code for Android platform you need ``Android Native Development Kit`` (*NDK*).
-
-You can get the latest version of NDK from the `download page <http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html>`_. To install Android NDK just extract the archive to some folder on your computer. Here are `installation instructions <http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html#installing>`_.
-
-.. note:: Before start you can read official Android NDK documentation which is in the Android NDK archive, in the folder :file:`docs/`.
-
- The main article about using Android NDK build system is in the :file:`ANDROID-MK.html` file.
-
- Some additional information you can find in the :file:`APPLICATION-MK.html`, :file:`NDK-BUILD.html` files, and :file:`CPU-ARM-NEON.html`, :file:`CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html`, :file:`PREBUILTS.html`.
-
-Theory: Android application structure
-=====================================
-
-Usually code of an Android application has the following structure:
-
-+ :file:`root folder of the project/`
-
- - :file:`jni/`
-
- - :file:`libs/`
-
- - :file:`res/`
-
- - :file:`src/`
-
- - :file:`AndroidManifest.xml`
-
- - :file:`project.properties`
-
- - :file:`... other files ...`
-
-where:
-
-+ the :file:`src` folder contains Java code of the application,
-
-+ the :file:`res` folder contains resources of the application (images, xml files describing UI layout , etc),
-
-+ the :file:`libs` folder will contain native libraries after a successful build,
-
-+ and the :file:`jni` folder contains C/C++ application source code and NDK's build scripts :file:`Android.mk` and :file:`Application.mk`.
-
- Written in Makefile language, these scripts control the C++ build process.
-
-
-Also the root folder should contain the following files:
-
-* :file:`AndroidManifest.xml` file presents essential information about application to the Android system
- (name of the Application, name of main application's package, components of the application, required permissions, etc).
-
- It can be created using Eclipse wizard or :command:`android` tool from Android SDK.
-
-* :file:`project.properties` is a text file containing information about target Android platform and other build details.
-
- This file is generated by Eclipse or can be created with *Android* tool included in Android SDK.
-
-.. note:: Both files (:file:`AndroidManifest.xml` and :file:`project.properties`) are required to compile the C++ part of the application, since NDK build system relies on them. If any of these files does not exist, compile the Java part of the project before the C++ part.
-
-.. _NDK_build_cli:
-
-
-Theory: Building application with C++ native part from command line
-===================================================================
-
-Here is the standard way to compile C++ part of an Android application:
-
-#. Open console and go to the root folder of an Android application
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- cd <root folder of the project>/
-
- .. note:: Alternatively you can go to the :file:`jni` folder of the Android project. But samples from OpenCV4Android SDK are configured for building from the project root level (because of relative path to the OpenCV library).
-
-#. Run the following command
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- <path_where_NDK_is_placed>/ndk-build
-
- .. note:: On Windows we recommend to use ``ndk-build.cmd`` in standard Windows console (``cmd.exe``) rather than the similar ``bash`` script in ``Cygwin`` shell.
-
- .. image:: images/ndk_build.png
- :alt: NDK build
- :align: center
-
-#. After executing this command the C++ part of the source code is compiled.
-
-After that the Java part of the application can be (re)compiled (using either *Eclipse* or *Ant* build tool).
-
-.. note:: Some parameters can be set for the :command:`ndk-build`:
-
- **Example 1**: Verbose compilation
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- <path_where_NDK_is_placed>/ndk-build V=1
-
- **Example 2**: Rebuild all
-
- .. code-block:: bash
-
- <path_where_NDK_is_placed>/ndk-build -B

-Theory: Building application with C++ native part from *Eclipse*
-================================================================
-
-There are several possible ways to integrate compilation of C++ code by Android NDK into Eclipse compilation process.
-We recommend the approach based on Eclipse :abbr:`CDT(C/C++ Development Tooling)` Builder.
-
-.. important:: Make sure your Eclipse IDE has the :abbr:`CDT(C/C++ Development Tooling)` plugin installed. Menu :guilabel:`Help -> About Eclipse SDK` and push :guilabel:`Installation Details` button.

-
-To install the `CDT plugin <http://eclipse.org/cdt/>`_ use menu :guilabel:`Help -> Install New Software...`,
-then paste the CDT 8.0 repository URL http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/indigo as shown in the picture below and click :guilabel:`Add...`, name it *CDT* and click :guilabel:`OK`.

- :align: center
-
-``CDT Main Features`` should be enough:
-
-.. image:: images/eclipse_inst_cdt_2.png
- :alt: Configure builders
- :align: center
-
-
-.. important:: OpenCV for Android 2.4.2 package contains sample projects pre-configured to use CDT Builder. It automatically builds JNI part via ``ndk-build``.
-
-#. Define the ``NDKROOT`` environment variable containing the path to Android NDK in your system (e.g. **"X:\\Apps\\android-ndk-r8"** or **"/opt/android-ndk-r8"**).
-
-#. | CDT Builder is already configured for **Windows** hosts,
- | on **Linux** or **MacOS** a small modification is required:
-
- Open `Project Properties` of the projects having JNI part (`face-detection`, `Tutorial 3` and `Tutorial 4`),
- select :guilabel:`C/C++ Build` in the left pane,
- remove **".cmd"** and leave ``"${NDKROOT}/ndk-build"`` in the :guilabel:`Build command` edit box and click :guilabel:`OK`.
-
- .. image:: images/eclipse_cdt_cfg4.png
- :alt: Configure CDT
- :align: center
-
-#. Use menu :guilabel:`Project` -> :guilabel:`Clean...` to make sure that NDK build is invoked on the project build:

-
-Theory: The structure of :file:`Android.mk` and :file:`Application.mk` scripts
-==============================================================================
-
-The script :file:`Android.mk` usually has the following structure:
-
-.. code-block:: make
-
- LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
-
- include $(CLEAR_VARS)
- LOCAL_MODULE := <module_name>
- LOCAL_SRC_FILES := <list of .c and .cpp project files>
- <some variable name> := <some variable value>
- ...
- <some variable name> := <some variable value>
-
- include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
-
-This is the minimal file :file:`Android.mk`, which builds C++ source code of an Android application. Note that the first two lines and the last line are mandatory for any :file:`Android.mk`.
-
-Usually the file :file:`Application.mk` is optional, but in case of project using OpenCV, when STL and exceptions are used in C++, it also should be created. Example of the file :file:`Application.mk`:
-
-.. code-block:: make
-
- APP_STL := gnustl_static
- APP_CPPFLAGS := -frtti -fexceptions
- APP_ABI := armeabi-v7a
-
-Sometimes ``ndk-build`` fails with an `"undefined reference to std::basic_string<...>"` error message. Then one more additional code line in the :file:`Android.mk` can help:
-
-.. code-block:: make
-
- APP_PLATFORM := android-9
-
-Practice: Build samples from OpenCV4Android SDK
-===============================================
-
-OpenCV4Android SDK includes 3 samples having JNI resources:
-
-* *Tutorial 3 (Advanced) - Add Native OpenCV*
-
- This sample illustrates how you can use OpenCV in C++ without OpenCV Java API.
-
-* *Tutorial 4 (Advanced) - Mix Java+Native OpenCV*
-
- This sample shows how you can mix OpenCV Java API and native C++ code.
-
-* *Sample - face-detection*
-
- This sample illustrates usage of both simple OpenCV face detector via Java API and advanced detection based face tracker via JNI and C++.
-
-.. important:: Before OpenCV **2.4.2** for Android these projects were not configured to use CDT for building their native part , so you can do it yourself.
-
-Practice: Create an Android application, which uses OpenCV
-==========================================================
-
-To build your own Android application, which uses OpenCV from native part, the following steps should be done:
-
-#. The archive with OpenCV4Android SDK should be downloaded and extracted to some folder (e.g. :file:`C:\\Work\\OpenCV4Android\\OpenCV-2.4.0`).
-
-#. You can use an environment variable to specify the location of OpenCV package or just hardcode full or relative path in the :file:`jni/Android.mk` of your projects.
-
-#. The file :file:`jni/Android.mk` should be written for the current application using the common rules for the file.
-
- For detailed information see the Android NDK documentation from the Android NDK archive, in the file
- :file:`<path_where_NDK_is_placed>/docs/ANDROID-MK.html`
-
-#. The line
-
- .. code-block:: make
-
- include C:\Work\android-opencv\OpenCV-2.4.0\share\OpenCV\OpenCV.mk
-
- should be inserted into the :file:`jni/Android.mk` file **after** the line
-
- .. code-block:: make
-
- include $(CLEAR_VARS)
-
-#. Several variables can be used to customize OpenCV stuff, but you **don't need** to use them when your application uses the `async initialization` via the `OpenCV Manager` API.
-
- Note: these variables should be set **before** the ``"include .../OpenCV.mk"`` line:
-
- .. code-block:: make
-
- OPENCV_INSTALL_MODULES:=on
-
- Copies necessary OpenCV dynamic libs to the project ``libs`` folder in order to include them into the APK.
-
- .. code-block:: make
-
- OPENCV_CAMERA_MODULES:=off
-
- Skip native OpenCV camera related libs copying to the project ``libs`` folder.
-
- .. code-block:: make
-
- OPENCV_LIB_TYPE:=STATIC
-
- Perform static link with OpenCV. By default dynamic link is used and the project JNI lib depends on ``libopencv_java.so``.
-
-#. The file :file:`Application.mk` should exist and should contain lines
-
- .. code-block:: make
-
- APP_STL := gnustl_static
- APP_CPPFLAGS := -frtti -fexceptions
-
- Also the line
-
- .. code-block:: make
-
- APP_ABI := armeabi-v7a
-
- is recommended for the applications targeting modern ARMs
-
-#. Either use :ref:`manual <NDK_build_cli>` ``ndk-build`` invocation or :ref:`setup Eclipse CDT Builder <Android_NDK_integration_with_Eclipse>` to build native JNI lib before Java part [re]build and APK creation.
