dlib-android

Purpose

Port dlib to Android platform

You can build it to dynamic or static library for Android. You can also build dlib's sample to Android executable file.

You can refer to dlib-android-app which demonstrates dlib-android features

Grab the source

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/tzutalin/dlib-android.git

$ cd dlib-android

$ ./envsetup

Prerequisites

Download Android-NDK from Android website.

After downloading, go to the directory to which you downloaded the package to extract it

Export ANDROID_NDK_HOME in ~/.bashrc

$ vim ~/.bashrc

export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=[NDK_PATH]/android-ndk-[version]

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_NDK_HOME

Install Android Debug Bride (ADB). You can download it via Android SDK Manager or $ sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

Prepare an Android device for test

Build JNI code and shared library for Android application

You can change the compiler architecture in dlib-android/jni/Application.mk

The way to build the shared library for Android application

$ cd [dlib-android]

$ python build.py

Alternative way to build native code and copy to the Android Studio's project manually:

$ cd [dlib-android]

$ ndk-build -j 2

$ cp -r libs/* androidstudio-examples/dlib-android-app/dlib/src/main/jniLibs

Run Android application

Open Android Studio's projects in androidstudio-examples/dlib-android-app to run face detection, face landmark, and so on
