We proceed with the recipe as follows:
- The best way to install the packages is to use the pre-built APK which is created every night. Point your browser to https://ci.TensorFlow.org/view/Nightly/job/nightly-android/ and download TensorFlow_demo.apk as shown in the following screenshot:
- Install the applications on your device. In my example, I will use the Pixel XL emulated device available in Android Studio. This is a terminal device emulated directly from inside Android Studio. The command adb devices lists all the attached devices. In this case, I have an emulator for the Pixel XL and i can install the TensorFlow_demo apk.
adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
adb install -r TensorFlow_demo.apk
After the installation, the emulator will have a new set of TensorFlow applications available for use as shown in the following figure.
- Run your favorite application. For instance, the following image is an example of TF Stylize, used for restyling the camera preview image to that of a number of different art styles via Transfer Learning:
The following image is an example of TF Speech (remember to activate the microphone for the emulator):
