This is a "shortcut" wrap for this project. I have zipped the complete B4A project (and it includes the aar, jar, and xml files). Copy the aar, jar, and xml files to your additional library folder.
The zipped project is here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4g9tud5lvjgSHE3VFc0aEZjUHc/view?usp=sharing
Libraries enabled:
Take note of the B4A manifest file:
Take note of the "resource" and "DemoRes" folders and contents that are on the same folder level as that of the B4A project's /Files and /Objects folders
What does this project do?
1. It starts the native camera
2. Take a photo of text
3. Save or discard the photo taken that has the text
3. If (3) = Save it returns the Blocks, Lines, and Words identified in the picture to the B4A project via events else it starts the camera again for you to take another photo of text.
Sample B4A code:
Have done this with B4A V6.80 and on a KitKat device.

To compile the Java code setup:
1. Create a libs folder on the same level as that of the src folder
2. Copy android-support-v4.jar, android-support-v7-appcompat.jar, constraint-layout-1.0.1.jar, and play-services-vision-9.4.0.jar into the libs folder that you have created.
