Importing opencv to android studio

Hello,

I have some difficulties to import opencv to my android studio.

my android studio version : bumblebee 2021.1.1 patch2.

opencv : 3.4.14 (but i tried with a lot of other versions and the problem is the same)

When i follow the procedure: File->New->import module and i select the ./OpenCV-android-sdk/sdk/java

the error message that i get is this one:

java.lang.NullPointerException

From my experience:
Make sure you have build.gradle in the SDK you are importing.
It doesn’t have to be a Java folder, it could be an SDK folder.

I’ve had this problem twice before, with outdated tutorials and unofficial SDKs.
I’m using 4.4 now and it works fine.
Hope helps

Hi, did you ever solve this? Having the same issue.

Inside the sdk folder — the parent folder of “java” — there is a build.gradle.
Open this file with notepad and read it.

Because it contains the instructions on how to import the opencv module.

Which are: import the sdk folder as module, not the java folder.
