Java Question import com.google.mlkit.vision.text.Text;

[Johan Schoeman]

I just cannot find this package - where is it hiding in the installed Android SDK (import com.google.mlkit.vision.text.Text)

Looking for the .aar/jar

I guess the are inside some artefacts which are not part of the actual sdkresources. You need to download them with the SDK-Manager.

BUT it is not recommended. As soon as you update all needed artefacts you´ll break something in the compilation/running your app.

I tried it recently but ran into problems so i directly stopped and reinstalled the SDK (not starting the sdkmanager new).

Edit: If you start the sdk-manager and just search for MLKIT you should find some artefacts. Be aware to reinstall the SDK on problems.

Have searched for it with numerous downloads from the SDK but it is not there. Don't think there is anything else to download from the SDK manager that contains "mlkit" with the required class in it. Very strange....

it's in here, johan: play-services-mlkit-text-recognition-common-17.0.0.aar
maven. but, as @DonManfred says, it's only going to open the door to more - bigger - issues.
i've built mlkit for ocr and translation as a standalone app which i use every day with a b4a driver. it very much resists wrapping the way google has implemented it.

I have put this in the dustbin for now as already have 25+ jars in the libs folder of the wrapper to wrap a single Github project.....enough of this project until (earliest) 2025.
