Camera failing to initialize on Android.
I tried running the sample project after compiling the engine from source with adding what is provided in the purchased plugin zip into the engine and my project while following the documents but when i run it on my phone i can only see the UI with a white background. The camera fails to initialize. Error is as follows: “ARToolkit is not initialized properly. Possible webcam init error. Webcam init error!” I’ve used both 4.9, and 4.10 on a galaxy note5. Any tips on how to debug this?

I’ll try it on a different phones tomorrow.

Hi,

To debug on android:

1. Open a windows command prompt
2. type adb logcat -s UE4
3. run the app on the phone while connected to the computer
4. you will see some debug messages from unreal
5. the ones starting with artoolkit are related to the plugin

Also can you please check your phone’s file system ? There should be /storage/emulated/0/UE4game/YOUR_APP_NAME/YOUR_APP_NAME/Content/ARToolkit/Data and DataNFT
If those directories are missing add them in your project’s package settings -> additional non asset directories to copy
