Android Question B4A - OCR Library

[asmondien]

Hi All,

Hope you ca help -

I have been looking OCR library for small project and found this one : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...th-google-play-services-android-vision.70417/

I'm having issues to get this working, I'm also confused by the part it's saying you need .jar in additional library - yet the example code attached shows it's commented out?

After enabling MultiDex - i was able to install the application, but get the following error & the camera is not working.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/samples/vision/ocrreader/OcrCaptureActivity;

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.android.gms.samples.vision.ocrreader.OcrCaptureActivity
    ... 12 more

Could anyone point me in a direction to get OCR working please? Alternatively help with reading a text from an image.

Thanks

You can use the search box. There are plenty libraries to accomplish.

I can see that most of the results, point to the same library - the question then is - Is it working with the latest version of B4A as they are few years old.

Obviously - I'm not that experienced with B4A and asked for little help and I don't see a point of wasting time try using library that is no longer compatible with the B4A. I fully accept that i'm possibly doing something wrong.

Thanks

I have got it working. As per my comment above - I got confused with the instructions & the sample code.

I was able to install the application, but get the following error & the camera is not working too.

Hi - After this posting my question and solving this - I have found another project by Johan, : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...e-play-services-android-vision.70417/#content

I used this one as this was letting me to get the scanned text to a textbox and it felt easier to get working.

I have attached my exported example give that a go. You will need to add the library to the additional folder.

Hi,

That's the same error - okay.

1. Can I confirm that you have installed the Google Repository via the SDK?
2. Then my example had AppCombat3 configured with the theme & design support didn't require configuration on this one (just needed the library enabled) + it already had the files required.
3. Then in tools - jetifer (android x) - I had to jetify the .jar files (I let some one else answer what that is (jetify), I accidentally stumbled on this on a post & tried it)

When I get home I can post my additional library folder, but first let me know how you get on.
