Google Vision API 与 android commons-codec 冲突

Question

I was just trying to add google Vision API in my android app in java. As a part that, When I am trying convert a bitmap into image , I am getting one exception as follows...

    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method encodeBase64URLSafeString([B)Ljava/lang/String; in class Lorg/apache/commons/codec/binary/Base64; or its super classes (declaration of 'org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64' appears in /system/framework/org.apache.http.legacy.boot.jar)
    at com.google.api.client.util.Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeString(Base64.java:79)
    at com.google.api.services.vision.v1.model.Image.encodeContent(Image.java:98)

My gradle file is as follows …

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion "29.0.0"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.camreader1"
    minSdkVersion 24
    targetSdkVersion 28
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'

}
}

dependencies {



implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    exclude module: 'httpclient'
}

  implementation group: 'commons-codec', name: 'commons-codec', version: '1.12'
  }

As per my findings on google This issue is due to android-support pointing to a old common version where indeed "encodeContent" method is not there.

My code to covert bitmap to image …

 public Image getBase64EncodedJpeg(Bitmap bitmap) {
    com.google.api.services.vision.v1.model.Image image = new com.google.api.services.vision.v1.model.Image();
    ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, byteArrayOutputStream);
    byte[] imageBytes = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
    image.encodeContent(imageBytes);
    return image;
}

Any one can help me to resolve this issue... any suggestion will work for me..

1) Update/add/adding runtime dependency the common version in my project. --- Preferable in my option , if possible....

2) Convert into Base64EncodedJpeg from a bitmap in some other way...

Any help is apricated...

Answer 1

To convert image bytes into Image

String imageBase64 = Base64.encodeToString(imageBytes, Base64.DEFAULT);
base64EncodedImage.setContent(imageBase64);
annotateImageRequest1.setImage(base64EncodedImage);
