Read our Getting Started Guide for instructions on setting up the Java SDK, Android SDK and NDK:
https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/dev-guide/getting-started-android-native-sdk
Make sure you have installed the latest version available of Android Studio from:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Use the Android SDK Manager (from within Android Studio) to get the latest Android SDK and Android Platform and Build tools
Launch Android Studio
Select File - > Import Project ... and browse to the root directory of the sample Vuforia project you want to open Proceed in the Import Wizard dialog (click Next, Next) until you reach a page with this message:
"Alternatively, you can fill in the actual path map in the table below": click to edit
enter the actual path to the Vuforia.jar library (which is located under your vuforia_install_dir/build/java/vuforia)
In the Project view, right-click on the Project and expand the view hierarchy so to locate the Vuforia.jar under app > src > main right-click on Vuforia.jar to open the context menu
click on the "Add as library..." option in the context menu
Alternatively, if you cannot locate the Vuforia.jar in your project hierarchy: right-click on the Project and select "Open Module Settings"
select "App" then select the "Dependencies" tab
Click on the "+" button to Add a File Dependency and browse to the Vuforia.jar file
Create a folder called "jniLibs" under the "app/src/main" folder under your Android Studio project directory
Copy the "armeabi-v7a" folder (including the libVuforia.so file located inside it) from the "vuforia_install_dir/build/lib" to the "app/src/main/jniLibs" folder
the resulting directory structure under your project root should be: /app /src /main /jniLibs /armeabi-v7a libVuforia.so
Clean and rebuild the project
Run the app on your device
Try this, Exporting Eclipse Project with vuforia into Android Studio, which worked for me.
Below are the steps which i followed to the project work fine in Android Studio.
- Export the Eclipse project from Eclipse as a Gradle project.
- Go to the welcome to android studio window in android studio.
- Click on Import Non android studio project.
- Locate the project that you exported from eclipse, expand it and select the
build.gradle file and click ok. - Copy the
vuforia.jar file from the vuforia sdk. - Right click on the project in android studio and click on Show in Explorer option.
- Locate the
libs folder and paste the copied vuforia.jar file. - Make a folder
lib ( NOTE: it is not libs) in the same structure as APK file. - Make another folder
armeabi inside lib folder. - Copy
.so files and paste it inside armeabi folder. and zip the lib folder into lib.zip - Rename the
lib.zip to armeabi.jar - Include the
armeabi.jar inside libs folder. - Then clean build and run the project.
