IBM Watson Visual Recognition android sdk failing to load

Hi I hope you are doing well,

I'm using the IBM Watson service Visual Recognition with Android, I set the IBM Cloud part correctly, but when I want to work with the service in Android (Android SDK), it doesn't recognize or resolve the dependency.

Android studio didn't recognize IBM Visual Recognition Classes, click to see image

Dependency on gradle:

implementation 'com.ibm.watson:ibm-watson:8.+'

I want to know if the IBM android SDK isn't working or I missed something somewhere. Thanks.

Solution

  • From the gradle entry above, I think you are referring to Watson developer cloud Java SDK as Watson developer cloud Android SDK’s latest version is 0.5.2 -Android SDK.

    If you are using Watson Visual recognition, you can install only Visual recognition piece through gradle by following the steps mentioned here.

    Also, add the gradle entry to app/build.gradle as shown here
