VISION API setup

Google Cloud Build with AI AI APIs
1

Hi,

I am a bit lost on the how to integrate the vision api into my android (java) projects.

  1. I have add the :

implementation ‘com.google.cloud:google-cloud-vision:3.40.0’

to my project.

  1. I have created the new project in the google cloud platform.
  2. I have enabled the VISON APIin the google cloud platform.
  3. I have created in the credentials tab a Service Account.

from this point I am a bit lost, I get error:

2024-04-30 07:50:59.045 4388-4388 System.out com.example.zukitscan I line 234: java.io.IOException: Your default credentials were not found. To set up Application Default Credentials for your environment, see https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/external/set-up-adc

  1. I followed that link of guidance and I got the:

application_default_credentials.json

From here what’s next ? how do I link this file into my android project ?

Please help.

Thanks.

Hello @YanivBelo ,

you can specify the path to the application_default_credentials.json file in your code to authenticate your Vision API requests.

For example:

import com.google.auth.oauth2.GoogleCredentials;
import com.google.cloud.vision.v1.ImageAnnotatorClient;
import com.google.cloud.vision.v1.ImageAnnotatorSettings;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

public class VisionAPIUtil {
public static ImageAnnotatorClient createImageAnnotatorClient() throws IOException {
// Specify the path to your credentials JSON file
String credentialsPath = “<path/to/your/credentials/file>”;

// Load the credentials
GoogleCredentials credentials = GoogleCredentials.fromStream(new FileInputStream(credentialsPath));

// Create the ImageAnnotatorClient with the credentials
ImageAnnotatorSettings settings = ImageAnnotatorSettings.newBuilder()
.setCredentialsProvider(() → credentials)
.build();

return ImageAnnotatorClient.create(settings);
}
}
