Compilation of OpenCV & contrib modules from sources for Android

This process explains how to compile shared libs of opencv and contrib modules from sources for Android ABI abi-armeabi-v7a.

##Requirements

  • Sources for opencv-3.4.1
  • Sources for opencv_contrib-3.4.1
  • CMake 3.11.3
  • mingw-w64 x86_64-7.3.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0
  • Android ndk

CMake

  • Extract opencv-3.4.1 inside opencv/opencv-3.4.1
  • Extract opencv_contrib-3.4.1 inside opencv/opencv_contrib-3.4.1
  • In CMake (cmake-gui) input Where is the source folder: opencv/opencv-3.4.1
  • In CMake (cmake-gui) input Where to build the binaries: opencv/build_android_arm
CMake Configuration options for android arm abi (search or add if missing)
  • Remove line 1090 (android_get_compatible_target(android_sdk_target_status ${ANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL} ${ANDROID_SDK_TARGET} 11) from opencv/opencv-3.4.1CMakeLists.txt (see opencv/opencv#10929)
  • Add ANDROID_NDK = android/sdk/ndk-bundle
  • Add ANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL = 16
  • Add ANDROID_NDK_HOST_X64 = 1
  • Configure
  • With MinGW Makefiles generator.
  • Specify toolchain file for cross-compiling: android/sdk/ndk-bundle/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake.
  • Wait for configuration..
  • Change ANDROID_EXECUTABLE = android/sdk/tools/android.bat
  • Change OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH = opencv/opencv_contrib-3.4.1/modules
  • Change BUILD_ANDROID_EXAMPLES = 0
  • Change BUILD_DOCS = 0
  • Change BUILD_TESTS = 0
  • Change BUILD_PERF_TESTS = 0
  • Change ENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS = 0
  • Change ENABLE_CXX11 = 1
  • Change BUILD_SHARED_LIBS = 1
  • Change WITH_CAROTENE = 0
  • Change BUILD_ZLIB = 1
  • Change BUILD_JAVA = 0
  • Configure
  • Generate
Compile and install
  • Open a command line at opencv/build_android_arm
  • Run mingw32-make and wait for compile process.
  • Run mingw32-make install
  • Shared libs should be at opencv/build_android_arm/install/sdk/native/libs/armeabi-v7a
  • Header files should be at opencv/build_android_arm/install/sdk/native/jni/include
