Android - OpenCV error: Cannot load info library for OpenCV

Question

I already setup OpenCV SDK in Android Studio (https://www.learn2crack.com/2016/03/setup-opencv-sdk-android-studio.html) but it seems I got this kind of error message.

05-12 03:30:08.926 5480-5480/my.xxxxx D/OpenCV/StaticHelper: Cannot load library "opencv_java3"

I already include opencv_java3 into JNI folder.

Answer 1

If someone is still (March 2020) searching for this error -

 E/OpenCV/StaticHelper: OpenCV error: Cannot load info library for OpenCV

and ends up here on this StackOverflow discussion, here is a helpful clarification from the OpenCV contributor on their site itself.

Ignore this error message. "Info library" is used for special Android configurations, like builds with CUDA support.

Please see this (currently open) issue here - https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/15567

Answer 2

Most online tutorial will tell you to add just armeabi-v7a and x86_64 into your jniLibs folder, but this can cause errors in recent versions of OpenCV. The following briefly describes a few tweaks I used to fix this error when I was experiencing the same issue.

Solution 1:

Make sure the JNI folder you are placing the OpenCV libraries in is named jniLibs

jniLibs Folder

Solution 2:

Copy ALL the directories found in OpenCV-android-skd/sdk/native/libs to your jniLibs folder.

jniLibs folder with all OpenCV libraries added

Recommended:

Even though it is a separate issue involving the emulator, you should also add the code snippet posted by FD3 in your app Module Gradle file. This will prevent the INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS error from occuring after attempting to run your app on an emulator.

Answer 3

You can try to include opencv_java3 into jniLibs folder, like this:

Answer 4

Over a year later but I found this to work for me. In you app Module gradle file, add:

splits {
        abi {
            enable true
            reset()
            include 'x86', 'armeabi-v7a', 'x86_64'
            universalApk true
        }
    }

This should be put in with the android brackets. Obviously adjust your includes for which ever you may need.
