Text Recognition & Translation getClient() Error in dynamic feature module

[DorisHYC]

I'm working on a feature utilizing Ml Kit text recognition and Translation library. For app size concern, I moved the implementation to a dynamic delivered module, and running TextRecognition.getClient() start to give the following error:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.google.mlkit.vision.text.TextRecognizer com.google.mlkit.vision.text.internal.zzk.zza()' on a null object reference

The same implementation is working properly on the regular module. And I have already included implementation 'com.google.mlkit:playstore-dynamic-feature-support:16.0.0-beta1 in my base apk. Can someone help to figure out what I'm missing? Thank you!

Hi, which version of the TextRecognition sdk did you use? The support for dynamic feature delivery was added in 16.2.0.

[DorisHYC]

I'm using 16.3.0

[cs-googler]

I tested with 'com.google.mlkit:playstore-dynamic-feature-support:16.0.0-beta1' in the base apk and 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-text-recognition:16.3.0' in the dynamic feature module apk but could not repro your issue. Do you have your project hosted somewhere for me to take a look?

Sorry unfortunately I don't. Just wanna double check tho, is there anything else I need to do to load the mlkit library dyanmically except for adding com.google.mlkit:playstore-dynamic-feature-support:16.0.0-beta1 to the base apk?

I think adding playstore-dynamic-feature-support is the only required step. https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/tips/reduce-app-size#advanced_move_optional_ml_features_to_dynamic_feature_modules
