Error in firebase.mlkit.recognizeTextCloud: TypeError: Cannot read property 'android' of undefined

Hi there,

When running the following code

onTextExtract() {
		firebase.mlkit.textrecognition.recognizeTextCloud({
			image: this.imageTaken, // a NativeScript Image or ImageSource, see the demo for examples
		})
		.then((result: MLKitRecognizeTextResult) => {
    	this.blocks = result.blocks;
		})
		.catch(errorMessage => console.log("ML Kit error: " + errorMessage));
	}

I am getting an error in the console log:

JS: Error in firebase.mlkit.recognizeTextCloud: TypeError: Cannot read property 'android' of undefined
JS: ML Kit error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'android' of undefined

I think the error come from src/mlkit/textrecognition/index.android.ts: 106 (come.google is undefined in com.google.android.gms.tasks.OnSuccessListener).

Thank you very much for you help.

This response is pretty late and you have probably already found an answer, but here’s something that could help others who encounter the same issue. I did not solve the issue by removing another plugin. The property ‘android’ is actually part of NativeScript ImageSource, so this was probably set up incorrectly. Here is how to set it up correctly with TypeScript. First, you need to import ImageSource: import { ImageSource, fromFile } from "tns-core-modules/image-source";

Next, set your ImageSource to whatever image you want to scan using the firebase recognize text. This is just the path that I have for my project so this will look different for yours. let localImage: ImageSource = fromFile('~/assets/image/image.jpg');

And then put it into the text recognize method. Here’s what mine looks like for reference: private runTextRecognition(){ let localImage: ImageSource = fromFile('~/assets/image/scorecard1.jpg');

this.firebase.mlkit.textrecognition.recognizeTextOnDevice({ image: localImage }).then((result: MLKitRecognizeTextResult) => { console.log(result.text ? result.text : ""); }).catch(errorMessage => console.log("ML Kit error: " + errorMessage));

}
