In this section we're gonna create a simple app that does nothing but OpenCV loading. In next section we'll extend it to support camera.

Hello OpenCV sample with Maven Central
--------------------------------------
Since OpenCV 4.9.0 OpenCV for Android package is available with Maven Central and may be installed
automatically as Gradle dependency. In this section we're gonna create a simple app that does nothing
but OpenCV loading with Maven Central.
1. Open Android Studio and create empty project by choosing ***Empty Views Activity***
![](images/create_empty_project.png)
2. Setup the project:
- Choose ***Java*** language
- Choose ***Groovy DSL*** build configuration language
- Choose ***Minumum SDK*** with the version number not less than OpenCV supports. For 4.9.0 minimal SDK version is 21.

3. Edit `build.gradle` and add OpenCV library to Dependencies list like this:
@code{.gradle}
dependencies {
implementation 'org.opencv:opencv:4.9.0'
}
@endcode
`4.9.0` may be replaced by any version available as [official release](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.opencv/opencv).
4. Before using any OpenCV function you have to load the library first. If you application includes other
OpenCV-dependent native libraries you should load them ***after*** OpenCV initialization. Add the folowing
code to load the library at app start:
@snippet samples/android/tutorial-1-camerapreview/src/org/opencv/samples/tutorial1/Tutorial1Activity.java ocv_loader_init
Like this:

5. Choose a device to check the sample on and run the code by pressing `run` button
