Tutorial: Set up an Android project with CraftAR Image Recognition and Augmented Reality

Our SDKs are distributed as a .zip file that you have to manually add into your project. Depending on the SDK, you need to follow different steps:

• Android Augmented Reality SDK v4 +
• On-device Image Recognition SDK
• Android Cloud Image Recognition SDK
• Android CraftAR Pro SDK

Augmented Reality SDK v4 +

1. Import the libraries into the Android Studio project:

1. Uncompress the craftar-augmented-reality-sdk-android-4.x.zip
2. Open your project in Android studio. In the project explorer, select the view Project Files.
3. Create a folder libs in the root of the project. Copy all the .jars included in the libs folder of our SDK there.
4. Create a folder jniLibs in the src/main folder. Copy the folders armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a and x86 there.
5. Copy the assets/ folder in your application src/main/ folder.
6. If you have import errors with the CraftAR classes, right click on each of the jars in libs/ folder and click on Add as library

2. Edit the manifest

Set the API version to 17 (or higher) for AR-SDK in your manifest, and set the following permissions:
