Here is how I run a Vuforia Sample on Android Studio on Window 8

  1. Download, extract sample, remove files .project and project.properties
  2. On Android Studio : Import project, next, next ...
  3. Download & install android NDK http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html
  4. Download & install cygwin http://cygwin.com/

  5. Edit the file jni/Android.mk

    LOCAL_SRC_FILES = C:/Vuforia-sdk/build/lib/$(TARGET_ARCH_ABI)/libQCAR.so LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := C:/Vuforia-sdk/build/include where Vuforia-sdk is your vuforia sdk

  6. Open cmd in your project folder and do "ndk-build"

  7. In android studio, click on project structure, modules, "YourModuleName", Dependencies, add jars, select the correct path to vuforia sdk for me it was :

    C:\Vuforia-sdk\build\java\QCAR\QCAR.jar

  8. build & run your project in Android Studio

  9. Have fun!

*Don't forget the PATH variable for the ndk & cygwin

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

    For the anyone with the problem: "the library libvuforia.so could not be loaded", creating the jniLibs folder structure saved my day. Thanks! – Bugdr0id May 05 '15 at 10:43
  • @user1907954 helped me as well! – Simon Jul 28 '15 at 12:01
  • For anyone having trouble where trying to open any Vuforia-based part of the sample app would make the screen flash and just throw you back into the Activity selection screen, the jniibs+armeabi part fixed it – DragonJawad Sep 27 '15 at 21:39
  • This looks like something you copied from somewhere else. Do you have a link to the original source? Where did you get it from? @dhana-sekaran – pd12 Oct 14 '16 at 16:06
  • @MDragon00 - Check your Vuforia Key once... – Ankit Gupta Feb 15 '17 at 06:43

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.
