Configure OpenCV for Android with Visual Studio(NVIDIA Nsight )

I want to develop the Android app using opencv4android SDK with Visual Studio(not C# Android), I can not use Eclipse or Android studio with some reasons.

I have installed VS 2015 professional, I set up the environment use NVIDIA Codeworks for Android version 1R4 (TADP) , it includes JDK SDK NDK ANT Gradle Eclipse CDT opencv4tegra and Nsight Tegra Visual Studio Edition, I use Eclipse to test OpenCV samples(OpenCV-2.4.8.2-Tegra-sdk\samples), all samples can compile and work, so that I assumed that the installation is ok.

I create Android Application under Nsight Tegra, write a simple helloworld(pure java without native code c/c++), the program can compile and work. I import opencv module in .java file, " import org.opencv..*** ;" it surely compile with error, error says that it can not find org.opencv.* , Next, I want to include opencv4android SDK(it’s a challenge for me), I click Properties of project, Ant Build → Java → Java Source Directories, I add opencv java source dir “C:\NVPACK\OpenCV-2.4.8.2-Tegra-sdk\sdk\java\src” to it, it compile with a different error, now it can find the org.opencv folder, error is “Package R not exist”, the R is org.opencv.R.

http://answers.opencv.org/question/25482/cant-build-opencv-library-and-samples-for-android-opencvengineinterface-and-orgopencvr/answer says: org.opencv.R and org.opencv.engine.OpenCVEngineInterface are auto generated classes. But I still don’t know I to configure…

how to solve this problem?

hi sg8051,
I see someone suggested you “Eclipse or ant must generate it for you at build time”.

I think fist you’d better find the way that how ant generate org.opencv.R.

and then we can add the additional option for ant in Tegra Nsight project properties.
