ARToolkit in Android Studio

Question

I'm beginner in Android Studio, I tried to build an AR application that I found ARToolkit SDK and downloaded it but I don't know how to use it and how to add it to Android Studio. There are some example projects in it that I couldn't open them with Android Studio too.

also my gradle cant sync in the example projects – user6586445 Sep 04 '16 at 12:31 — user6586445, Sep 04 '16 at 12:31

in the ARToolKit SDK there is a folder called 'android' that contains a ./build.sh and a ./build_native_examples.sh you need to execute the ./build.sh before trying to run the examples.

Follow the description here what you need to do in order to get the ./build.sh to work. http://artoolkit.org/documentation/doku.php?id=4_Android:android_native

You should be able to 'import' the samples into AndroidStudio. But as said, first of all you need to follow the instructions and run ./build.sh

Tell me how it goes. I'm happy to support you further.

while running those shell scripts, am getting ndk-build not found. Do i have to keep this project inside sdk path? Note: i'd execucted setenv script already. – GvSharma Aug 10 '17 at 12:48
Probably the wrong path to the Android ndk. Hava a second look at the documentation. You need to have several variables pointing to Android SDK and NDK – Thor_Bux Aug 10 '17 at 19:24

As an alternative I suggest you use this project: https://github.com/plattysoft/ArToolKitJpctBaseLib

It is a wrapper on top of ARToolKit that connects it with the 3D Engine jPCT-AE.

You can use gradle to import the dependencies
You can use ARToolKit directly if you chose so
All the examples are built with Android Studio
The creation of an AR app is more streamlined (no need to define a renderer)
Having a 3D engine simplifies creating augmentations a lot

This isn't really an answer... an answer to "how do I get something to work?" isn't "do something else", even if it *is* helpful. – Daevin Nov 03 '17 at 20:57
the answer starts with "as an alternative". In general I do not recommend to compile ARToolkit when there are binaries available. – shalafi Nov 06 '17 at 13:59
