Error while using javaxt

Question

I am having a problem when using javaxt in my android application.

Basically what I did is, added the javaxt jar file as a library to my project and configured the build.gradle and the settings.gradle so the the javaxt jar file will be compiled. In my java class I am importing the javaxt.io.Image and my actual code is the following:

Image image = new Image("/storage/extSdCard/gps/gps_001.jpg");
double[] gps = image.getGPSCoordinate();

When I am trying to build my project the build is failing and the error is the following:

Error:(200, 27) error: cannot access RenderedImage class file for java.awt.image.RenderedImage not found Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJava'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Anyone experiencing the same problem or have experienced the problem and solved it?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Either your source code or your library uses java.awt.image.RenderedImage , which does not exist on Android. javaxt.io.Image definitely refers to RenderedImage .

Note that there is no sign that the authors of this library offer Android compatibility. You may find it easier to solve your problem using a library known to work on Android.
