Android TensorFlow support

This directory contains components geared towards supporting TensorFlow on Android.

Android Java Inference Interface for TensorFlow

This library contains a Java API capable of loading TensorFlow graphs and performing inference on Android. See TensorFlowImageClassifier.java in the TensorFlow Android Camera Demo for an example.

With both the native .so library and the Java JAR (or AAR which combines both), you will have everything you need to use TensorFlow for inference in your Android app. Note that training is not supported through this interface; for that you will have to use one of the other APIs.

For prebuilt libraries, see the nightly Android build artifacts page for a recent build.

To build the inference libraries yourself (if, for example, you want to support custom TensorFlow operators), pick your preferred approach below:

Bazel

First follow the Bazel setup instructions described in tensorflow/examples/android/README.md

Then, to build the native TF library:

bazel build -c opt //tensorflow/contrib/android:libtensorflow_inference.so \
   --crosstool_top=//external:android/crosstool \
   --host_crosstool_top=@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain \
   --cpu=armeabi-v7a

Replacing armeabi-v7a with your desired target architecture.

The library will be located at:

bazel-bin/tensorflow/contrib/android/libtensorflow_inference.so

To build the Java counterpart:

bazel build //tensorflow/contrib/android:android_tensorflow_inference_java

You will find the JAR file at:

bazel-bin/tensorflow/contrib/android/libandroid_tensorflow_inference_java.jar

CMake

For documentation on building a self-contained AAR file with cmake, see tensorflow/contrib/android/cmake.

AssetManagerFileSystem:

A TensorFlow filesystem supporting the Android asset manager. This may be useful when writing native (C/C++) code that is tightly coupled with TensorFlow (for typical usage the Inference Interface library above will be sufficient).
