Android Java Opencv canny throws cvexception

Question

I want to detect edges from images using Canny in Android, but it keeps throwing this error:

E/cv::error(): OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (_dx.type() == CV_16SC1 || _dx.type() == CV_16SC3) in void cv::Canny(cv::InputArray, cv::InputArray, cv::OutputArray, double, double, bool), file /build/master_pack-android/opencv/modules/imgproc/src/canny.cpp, line 959

I don't know what causes the error and I did not find any answer on the internet.

Here is the code I used:

public void detectContours(Bitmap bitmap){
        try{
            Mat img = new Mat();
            Utils.bitmapToMat(bitmap, img);

            Mat gray = new Mat(img.size(), CvType.CV_8UC1);
            Imgproc.cvtColor(img, gray, Imgproc.COLOR_RGB2GRAY, 4);
            Imgproc.Canny(gray, gray, 80, 100);

            Bitmap outputBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(gray.cols(), gray.rows(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
            Utils.matToBitmap(gray, outputBitmap);
            MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(context.getContentResolver(), outputBitmap, "Opencv" , "Hello");
            Log.d("OPENCV", "Image stored in your gallery");
        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Can someone help me to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Solved it!

I forgot to add more files to jnilibs.

You need to copy the contents of $OPENCV_SDK/sdk/native/libs to $YOUR_ANDROID_PROJECT/app/src/main/jniLibs/ (you'll have to create a new directory named jniLibs).
