i know it is an issue with android 7.0 and above which has a fix in the form but im not sure how do i fix it with this lib :(

It is good that you found this issue.
You can find more information about it on https://stackoverflow.com/questions...tion-file-storage-emulated-0-test-txt-exposed
You have to use FileProvider.
I had a look at the link on the first page of this thread to the github project that this library is based on, and noticed that the author updated his github project to use FileProvider.
I look at the code (of OCR only) and noticed only one change in BuildPicture function:
B4X: 
private void takePicture() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        File photo = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "picture.jpg");
        imageUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(MainActivity.this, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", photo);
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
        startActivityForResult(intent, PHOTO_REQUEST);
}

If DonManfred had his original code he could change it, in this function like this:
B4X: 
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 24){
    imageUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(BA.applicationContext, BA.applicationContext.getPackageName() + ".provider", photo);
}
else{
    imageUri = Uri.fromFile(photo);
}
And the following would have to be added to the manifest:
B4X: 
AddApplicationText(<provider
   android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
   android:authorities="$PACKAGE$.provider"
   android:exported="false"
   android:grantUriPermissions="true">
   <meta-data
      android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
      android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
  </provider>
)
CreateResource(xml, provider_paths.xml,
   <external-path name="external_files" path="." />
)
Or you could do it yourself using Johan's library based on the same github project https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ocr-mobilevisiontext.82910/#content
He has provided source code for his library.

This is a wrap for this github project.

It is basically the same as the one posted by @Johan Schoeman plus facerecognition and Barcodescanner (as of now it is configigured to scan all know formats.)

You need to use FileProvider. file-Uris are not allowed anymore.

Please create a new thread in the questionsforum.

Posting to existing threads is a mistake.

Hello. Are there any updates for this lib? I cannot get it to work. IsOperational keeps returning FALSE...
