I have to do some object detection project on Android. So, I need to use openCV for that. However, to begin with, I wish to start with a “Hello World” kind of program in openCV on Android. For this, I followed the tutorial here. The sample code along with the openCV zip file works fine on Eclipse. However, when trying the same on an Android device, it asks for openCV library. Clearly, this is very hectic for any user. He wishes to have everything at a place.
Message from the device “OpenCV Manager Package was not found! Try to install it ?“
So, is there any way to include the openCV library also in my .apk file of my applications, so that everything works perfectly as soon as user installs my application. Since, I am new to Android, the question may seem vague to you. So, please comment, if I am unclear in asking the question.
As of now, you have to use Static Initialization. There is a tutorial about that on this page
