Android NDK Native Activity: Problem using OpenCV
Hello
I'm trying to use OpenCV VideoCapture in an Android NDK Native Activity. Unfortunately I can't find a tutorial for integrating OpenCV with Native Activity, so I was trying to discover a solution myself.
This is my Android.mk file:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
SELF_DIR := $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))
OPENCV_SDK_DIR := $(SELF_DIR)/../../OpenCV-2.4.4-android-sdk
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
OPENCV_CAMERA_MODULES:=on
OPENCV_INSTALL_MODULES:=on
OPENCV_LIB_TYPE:=SHARED
include $(OPENCV_SDK_DIR)/sdk/native/jni/OpenCV.mk
LOCAL_MODULE := CameraTest
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := AppEngine.cpp ConcreteApp.cpp main.cpp
LOCAL_LDLIBS += -llog -landroid -lEGL -lGLESv1_CM
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES += android_native_app_glue
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
$(call import-module,android/native_app_glue)
The problem is that the app is only starting, when I do static linking of OpenCV with OPENCV_LIB_TYPE := STATIC. With dynamic linking, the app doesn't even start and I get the following exception:
03-04 00:19:39.880: E/AndroidRuntime(3667): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.cameratest/android.app.NativeActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to load native library: /data/data/com.example.cameratest/lib/libCameraTest.so
I actually wouldn't mind static linking, but I discovered other problems with this method: The video capture doesn't seem to work. I tried the camera examples in the samples folder of the OpenCV Android SDK and they all work. So the problem seems to be on my side.
As I said, the video capture doesn't work when linking statically. I get the following log messages:
