B4A Library Extracting Facial States and Facial Landmarks from a Bitmap (photo) using Google Mobile Vision API

It wraps this Github project. It extracts facial states and facial landmark information from a photo (bitmap) containing a human face. See the pic below...

Posting the following:
1. B4A project - b4aAndroidVisionPhotoFaceDetector.zip
2. The B4A library files (AndroidVisionFaceViewLibFiles.zip)
3. The java code as it stands at present (TheJavaCode.zip)
4. A link to all the other jars that will be required - download them from here and copy them to your additional library folder - https://www.dropbox.com/s/se5x5znl1tgpv6r/OtherLibFiles.zip?dl=0
5. resourceAdditionalLibFolder.zip - extract it and copy the resource folder to your additional library folder
6. resource.zip - extract it and copy the resource folder to the same folder level that of the /Files and /Objects folders of the B4A project.

You can download and test it but if you want to use it then you need to

Also important to note the B4A project's Manifest Files

And equally important to set your paths correctly (the below only applicable to my folder setup):

Posting an update:

1. New B4A project that will accommodate multiple faces in the same photo
2. New B4A library files

Follow the setup in post #1 and then replace the B4A project and B4A library files with the attached. Take note of point #6 in post #1:
".....6. resource.zip - extract it and copy the resource folder to the same folder level that of the /Files and /Objects folders of the B4A project......"

The list at the bottom will show the ID(s) of the face(s) and it's various extracted facial landmarks and states. It will by default draw the ID of the face on the pic (you can choose to draw the ID or not draw the ID) so that you can relate the info in the list with each face in a multi-face picture.

You can download and test it but if you want to use it then you need to

Some refinement to do in this week but it is working (multi face and multi barcodes recognised simultaneously via the camera)....will post the lib this weekend ;)

Johan thank you for this lib.
I get error when I compiled both b4aAndroidVisionPhotoFaceDetector and b4aAndroidVisionFaceTracker project. My android version is 4.4 and Appcompat example is working. I couldn't find solution on the net.
