Image Recognition using OpenCv and android - java

I want to work on making an android app by integrating OpenCV with android Studio. I have a set of 2D hardcopy card images that i want to save as templates with in the app. Then, using the app, when i place my camera on any of the cards, the app should search the directory which contain the templates and look for match and provide feedback if a match is found. If anyone can guide on how to achieve this, it will be highly appreciated.
Also, if not OpenCV, then which SDK or tool should be preferred ?

The question is a general one, so the answer will be general as well, and will make assumptions about what you'd like to accomplish with your application.
Android Studio with OpenCV is probably a reasonable stack to use.
Presuming the library has more than a trivial number of images, you'll probably want to extract matching information for each image in your library in an offline process (on your code-development machine). So for instance, you would configure your development machine with a SQLite database driver and OpenCV, construct a program that extracts feature points and saves those to your a SQLite database. That file can then be loaded into the Android APK assets, and it would be ready upon the application's first use. The application would take frames from the camera and compare those with each item in the database, looking for matches.

Writing an App with Android Studio to watch a Live Video which is provided by a Camera

I am currently working on a project. I have learned Java for ~4 years and am completely new to Android Studio.
In this project, a camera with artificial intelligence should recognize people within a certain radius.
With an Android app that I want to program using Java via Android Studio, I want to access the camera and query the information.
My question would be, with which tool or library can I program such an app and what else do i need?
I tried to use OpenCV and also Exoplayer, watched several different tutorials, but nothing really worked out for me.

I thought using histograms might be the right apporach. I looked around and found this intersting project. https://isl.cs.technion.ac.il/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Face_Recognition_Project.pdf
Introduction
Our goal was to create a fully operational mobile application which could detect,
recognize and track human faces.
In order to do that, we have decided to use the Android[3] platform combined
with the opencv library[4][5].
The development of the application was made on Qualcomm MSM8960[6] mobile device which run a 4.0.3 Android OS.
In addition to the application we have built, we also did a research about how
well we can use LDA[1] and PCA[2] in order to recognize faces and also about
the use of LDA in order to do basic pose estimation.

How to separate Social media application and Game application installed in the device

I create project in Android studio to display all application installed in my device, I want to separate the social media application and game application, is it possible? and any hints so i can do it.
Well, first of all, you should get all installed app package names then you can search package names in the play store to find out their category.
As I know there is no official API by play store so you should search and collect data from HTML and so on. also there should be some third-party APIs, just look for them and probably you will find some of them.
If you want to collect data from the play store, just take a look at this
Good luck!

React Native - Opening Android Image Gallery Directly

As the title states, I am wondering how to open the Android image gallery directly from my app. Every single package that is out there, including react-native-image-picker, react-native-image-crop-picker, and yes, even Expo's expo-image-picker all open the "Recents" area!
Opening the gallery MUST be possible, since apps like Whatsapp, Tinder, Facebook, etc. all have this functionality when choosing pictures.
Such a simple functionality - and yet after a month of on and off search I have come up with no solution. Can anybody provide me with a way to do this? Or guide me in the correct direction? At this point I am prepared to write native Android code or custom React Native to get this to work.
i found this library
react-native-multiple-image-picker
it will open camera roll not recent file

Android app - saving/storing images at runtime

I am learning to build an android app for the first time...this is an educational project.
I don't have a database, and I'm not using a cloud server. The latter is slightly outside of the project scope, and I was advised that I was better using XML to store data, rather than SQLite.
My app should enable users to select images from their image gallery at runtime, these are then resized, and stored in the app (visually - it will look like a pin board of thumbnails). I was going to store them in the resources folder, but have just realised from reading other posts, that this isn't accessible at runtime.
Can anyone point me in the direction of what my options are when I'm not using a cloud server.
Is XML feasible? If so, how do I go about storing images in XML at runtime?
Can I make use of the SD card?
Or is SQLite the only option?
Is there any info where I can read about the limitations and benefits of each of these?
Any advice would be so much appreciated!!
Realm is better for you. Look at the below links you will get Idea to use realm in your project

Using Ionic with Smart Card (Java Card)

Good day,
I have a project on building mobile app that read and write data to a smart card (java card),
in form of text as a storage using a USB connector to an android mobile phone to communicate with the card.
But i know Ionic (cordova/ Javascript) does not have a plugin to read/write with smart card
My research show that it can only be done with java, But i do not want to design the app from ground up
using a native language cos i have loved working with ionic - cordova.
i need a help on ways to make this work, i dont want to believe that it is not possible,
i need a resources, technic, materials that i can use to make this possible.
Thanks
If you cannot find a preexisting solution then you would have to plugin your own for the platforms you require. There seems to be an NFC plugin which can form a starting point on how to build such a thing.
You could use the seek-for-Android project as base to build your own API. In the simplest form you could just decide to make a port: basically copying the API into Cordoba.
Note that all this may not be easy. Good luck.
