Android studio is not importing file

I am developing app that is text detection using ocr.
I get the source code from https://github.com/GautamGupta/Simple-Android-OCR. When i am using latest android studio. I didn't get the import file of TessBaseAPI. I try add tess-two to project modules. But it is not working. How it possible to run, the below shows the source where i wrote.

In this code TessBaseAPI is not importing. How it solve?

Instead of trying to build that project yourself, follow the instructions on the project website to use the pre-built version by adding
compile 'com.rmtheis:tess-two:6.0.4'
to your app's build.gradle file.

Tressact Arabic OCR app gets stuck

I've followed these links: http://gaut.am/making-an-ocr-android-app-using-tesseract/#comment-184181
http://gaut.am/making-an-ocr-android-app-using-tesseract/
to make an OCR app on android studio. The app works perfectly fine when i include eng.traineddata in the src->main->assets folder
However, when i used ara.traineddata to make an OCR app for arabic, the app gets stuck
I used the debug point to check where the problem might be and it seems that the problem is at

Any help will be highly appreciated

You'd need all the ara.cube.* files also.

Android OCR App using Tesseract

I was following the tutorial mentioned at this this site:
http://gaut.am/making-an-ocr-android-app-using-tesseract/
First I imported Tess-Two from github:
https://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two
And linked it to my project
https://github.com/GautamGupta/Simple-Android-OCR
The app compiles and runs fine. But after clicking an image when I hit save it crashes.
Here is the source main activity:

public static final String PACKAGE_NAME = "com.datumdroid.android.ocr.simple";
public static final String DATA_PATH = Environment

And I know the error is towards the end in the following part:

baseApi.setImage(bitmap);
String recognizedText = baseApi.getUTF8Text();
baseApi.end();
Any idea why it might be crashing?

Go to unzip your target *.apk file,check if there is a libs folder of which contains the *.so files.If this is your problem,check this link I have answered before.

Are you using correct tessdata files ? if not go for this.
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Data-Files#data-files-for-version-304305
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Here may be permission issue while saving files to directory.
Or check lib folder of code directory it can be issue of libtess.so file not available for CPU architecture like x86,x64,mips,armv7.

The issue is with your path, you have to download a language in which you want to get a result from code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list download (eg: tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz ) extract it and locate the file “yourLanguage.traineddata” (eg: “eng.traineddata”) and put this file in your storage path in sd card, then you can get it as a path
TessBaseAPI mTess = new TessBaseAPI();
String datapath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/tesseract/";
String language = "eng";
File dir = new File(datapath + "tessdata/");
if (!dir.exists())
dir.mkdirs();
mTess.init(datapath, language);
mTess.setImage(yourBitmapImage);
String result = mTess.getUTF8Text();
Toast.makeText(tesswork.this, "Result : " + result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Force Close After Run Android Simple OCR Aplication

I've follow this tutorial to learn about ocr in android.
http://gaut.am/making-an-ocr-android-app-using-tesseract/
After successfully run the program on my device, take a photo, it force close. As if it failed to analyze the image.
I already put the trained data on my /asset/testdata/
the trained data is downloaded from :
http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list
My logcat show that I've error on
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Can you teach me how to fix it?

Do you have this in your AndroidManifest.xml?:
<uses-permission android:name="WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
I notice that you're trying to create files/directories during initialization, maybe this will help

Can you try to add System.loadLibrary("tess"); before initializing tesseract-ocr?
