How to use this library? #34

Closed VSecur closed 7 years ago

VSecur commented 7 years ago

Hello, what are the dependencies? How can I use your library in my Android Studio on Ubuntu / Linux? I've been researching a lot and it's very difficult to get something. If you can give me detailed instructions I will be very grateful.

SandroMachado commented 7 years ago

@VSecur you just need to follow the instructions available here: https://github.com/SandroMachado/openalpr-android#usage

You can also check the sample app available here: https://github.com/SandroMachado/openalpr-android/tree/master/Sample/OpenALPRSample

Do I need OpenALPR? I was seeing other issues and I realized that if you want to use for Brazilian boards I need to recompile.

SandroMachado commented 7 years ago

Yup, the current version only supports US and EU.

VSecur commented 7 years ago

So should I compile following these instructions (https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr/wiki/Android-compilation) and copy the runtime_data folder with the files to Brazilian boards? Are you not interested in including the Brazilian standard in your library?

SandroMachado commented 7 years ago

Yes, you need to compile the library and move it to the runtime_data folder.

Yes, I really need to update to the latest version of openalpr, but unfortunately it is not easy and requires a lot of time. I also created an issue in the parent project to include the Android binaries for each release. You can do a +1 in that issue, that will help a lot in the process of keeping this library sync with the parent project.
