I get this problem:

The type java.awt.image.RenderedImage cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

I know it means that there is no reference to it in my build-path and I heard that java.awt.image is not in the Android SDK. So I am trying to figure out how to work around it.

This is my code:

Bitmap image = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
String text = new OCR().recognizeEverything(image);

Obviously you can see that I am trying to use a OCR library. If it is impossible to get around this then can anyone show me a reference to maybe a “how to make an OCR program” or something along those lines. I pretty much have NO experience with images.

Thanks!

    If your OCR library uses java.awt classes internally, you can’t use it on Android. Porting it to use Android classes instead is likely to be non-trivial, especially if you have no experience. This library is being actively developed, and is reported to work on Android (I haven’t personally used it). You might want to give it a try. Also, searching helps too: this is a fairly frequent question on SO, you might get some other ideas from previous answers.
