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?

This is the code:

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?
