Context : I am currently developing an app on Android Studio for the Moverio BT 200 augmented reality glasses. I am using OpenCV, and specifically, the arUco module of the library. This module has to be used with the NDK. Also, it is not on the stable release, so I compiled the library myself (using this guide : https://zami0xzami.wordpress.com/2016/03/17/building-opencv-for-android-from-source/). The build of the library went well. After that, I made a android studio project (customOCVtest). I did it the way I always do when using OpenCV with Android Studio and the NDK, except this time it was with the custom build. I checked if the library was correctly loaded :
private static final String OCVdevTAG = "OCVmainAct";
static {
System.loadLibrary("native-lib");
if(!OpenCVLoader.initDebug()) {
Log.d(OCVdevTAG, "OpenCV not loaded");
} else {
Log.d(OCVdevTAG, "OpenCV loaded");
}
}
The library is indeed loaded when I build.
Now comes the problem : When I try to actually use the arUco module in my native code (here is my native-lib.cpp) :
#include <jni.h>
#include <string>
#include <opencv2/aruco.hpp>
extern "C" {
jstring
Java_com_jambonsama_customocvtest_MainActivity_stringFromJNI(
JNIEnv *env,
jobject /* this */) {
std::string hello = "Hello from C++";
cv::Ptr<cv::aruco::Dictionary> dict = cv::aruco::getPredefinedDictionary(cv::aruco::DICT_6X6_250);
cv::Mat marker;
cv::aruco::drawMarker(dict, 25, 200, marker, 1);
return env->NewStringUTF(hello.c_str());
}
}
the gradle sync works, but I can't build. I get the following error :
Error:FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

In particular, this error message tells me that I tried to build with the following argument :
{--build C:\Users\JambonSama\AndroidStudioProjects\customOCVtest\app\.externalNativeBuild\cmake\debug\mips64 --target native-lib}
This argument is automatically generated by AS, and I can't find the file where it is passed. I believe that if I can find it, I can build for arm (which is what I want), instead of mips. The thing is, I can't find it. (And I'm not even sure that is indeed what I'm looking for. I'm just trying to make my project build for my glasses.)
Here after is my CMakeLists.txt :

What I tried, mainly by just copying stuff that helped other people solve problems that seemed similar to mines :
#set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Android)
or
#set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE "Toolchain file" CACHE FILEPATH "C:/Libs/opencv_src/opencv/platforms/android.toolchain.cmake")
or
#set( CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "C:/Libs/android-ndk-r13b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++.exe" )
in the CMakeLists.txt
and
splits {
abi {
enable true
reset()
include 'armeabi-v7a'
universalApk true
}
}
or
tasks.getByPath(":app:linkMipsDebugRemoteDesktopSharedLibrary").enabled = false
in the build.gradle (I tried both because I didn't know which one was supposed to have it).
Except for the very last bit of code (the task.getByPath...), the sync worked, but I couldn't build. For the last one, I couldn't even sync.
I also tried to rebuild the library for mips, since the architecture seems to be the problem, but I have no idea how to do that.
Where can I find the file where the following argument :
{--build C:\Users\JambonSama\AndroidStudioProjects\customOCVtest\app\.externalNativeBuild\cmake\debug\mips64 --target native-lib}
is passed when building? And / or how do I make Android Studio build my project for arm architecture?
