Demo applications with code walk-through can be find in this github repo.
Release artifacts are published to jcenter:
repositories {
jcenter()
}
# lite interpreter build
dependencies {
implementation 'org.pytorch:pytorch_android_lite:1.10.0'
implementation 'org.pytorch:pytorch_android_torchvision_lite:1.10.0'
}
# full jit build
dependencies {
implementation 'org.pytorch:pytorch_android:1.10.0'
implementation 'org.pytorch:pytorch_android_torchvision:1.10.0'
}
Nightly(snapshots) builds are published every night from master
branch to nexus sonatype snapshots repository
To use them repository must be specified explicitly:
repositories {
maven {
url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
}
}
# lite interpreter build
dependencies {
...
implementation 'org.pytorch:pytorch_android_lite:1.12.0-SNAPSHOT'
implementation 'org.pytorch:pytorch_android_torchvision_lite:1.12.0-SNAPSHOT'
...
}
# full jit build
dependencies {
...
implementation 'org.pytorch:pytorch_android:1.12.0-SNAPSHOT'
implementation 'org.pytorch:pytorch_android_torchvision:1.12.0-SNAPSHOT'
...
}
The current nightly(snapshots) version is the value of VERSION_NAME
in gradle.properties
in current folder, at this moment it is 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT
.
In some cases you might want to use a local build of pytorch android, for example you may build custom libtorch binary with another set of operators or to make local changes.
For this you can use ./scripts/build_pytorch_android.sh
script.
git clone https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch.git
cd pytorch
git submodule update --init --recursive
bash ./scripts/build_pytorch_android.sh
The workflow contains several steps:
1. Build libtorch for android for all 4 android abis (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64)
2. Create symbolic links to the results of those builds:
android/pytorch_android/src/main/jniLibs/${abi}
to the directory with output libraries
android/pytorch_android/src/main/cpp/libtorch_include/${abi}
to the directory with headers. These directories are used to build libpytorch.so
library that will be loaded on android device.
3. And finally run gradle
in android/pytorch_android
directory with task assembleRelease
Script requires that Android SDK, Android NDK and gradle are installed. They are specified as environment variables:
ANDROID_HOME
- path to Android SDK
ANDROID_NDK
- path to Android NDK. It's recommended to use NDK 21.x.
GRADLE_HOME
- path to gradle
After successful build you should see the result as aar file:
$ find pytorch_android/build/ -type f -name *aar
pytorch_android/build/outputs/aar/pytorch_android.aar
pytorch_android_torchvision/build/outputs/aar/pytorch_android.aar
It can be used directly in android projects, as a gradle dependency:
allprojects {
repositories {
flatDir {
dirs 'libs'
}
}
}
dependencies {
implementation(name:'pytorch_android', ext:'aar')
implementation(name:'pytorch_android_torchvision', ext:'aar')
...
implementation 'com.facebook.soloader:nativeloader:0.10.5'
implementation 'com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni-java-only:0.2.2'
}
We also have to add all transitive dependencies of our aars.
As pytorch_android
depends on 'com.facebook.soloader:nativeloader:0.10.5'
and 'com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni-java-only:0.2.2'
, we need to add them.
(In case of using maven dependencies they are added automatically from pom.xml
).
You can check out test app example that uses aars directly.
In some cases, you may want to use libtorch from your android native build. You can do it without building libtorch android, using native libraries from PyTorch android gradle dependency. For that, you will need to add the next lines to your gradle build.
android {
...
configurations {
extractForNativeBuild
}
...
compileOptions {
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
arguments "-DANDROID_STL=c++_shared"
}
}
}
...
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
path "CMakeLists.txt"
}
}
}
dependencies {
extractForNativeBuild('org.pytorch:pytorch_android:1.10.0')
}
task extractAARForNativeBuild {
doLast {
configurations.extractForNativeBuild.files.each {
def file = it.absoluteFile
copy {
from zipTree(file)
into "$buildDir/$file.name"
include "headers/**"
include "jni/**"
}
}
}
}
tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
if (task.name.contains('externalNativeBuild')) {
task.dependsOn(extractAARForNativeBuild)
}
}
pytorch_android aar contains headers to link in headers
folder and native libraries in jni/$ANDROID_ABI/
.
As PyTorch native libraries use ANDROID_STL
- we should use ANDROID_STL=c++_shared
to have only one loaded binary of STL.
The added task will unpack them to gradle build directory.
In your native build you can link to them adding these lines to your CMakeLists.txt:
# Relative path of gradle build directory to CMakeLists.txt
set(build_DIR ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/build)
file(GLOB PYTORCH_INCLUDE_DIRS "${build_DIR}/pytorch_android*.aar/headers")
file(GLOB PYTORCH_LINK_DIRS "${build_DIR}/pytorch_android*.aar/jni/${ANDROID_ABI}")
set(BUILD_SUBDIR ${ANDROID_ABI})
target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE
${PYTORCH_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)
find_library(PYTORCH_LIBRARY pytorch_jni
PATHS ${PYTORCH_LINK_DIRS}
NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH)
find_library(FBJNI_LIBRARY fbjni
PATHS ${PYTORCH_LINK_DIRS}
NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}
${PYTORCH_LIBRARY})
${FBJNI_LIBRARY})
If your CMakeLists.txt file is located in the same directory as your build.gradle, set(build_DIR ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/build)
should work for you. But if you have another location of it, you may need to change it.
After that, you can use libtorch C++ API from your native code.
#include <string>
#include <ATen/NativeFunctions.h>
#include <torch/script.h>
namespace pytorch_testapp_jni {
namespace {
struct JITCallGuard {
c10::InferenceMode guard;
torch::jit::GraphOptimizerEnabledGuard no_optimizer_guard{false};
};
}
void loadAndForwardModel(const std::string& modelPath) {
JITCallGuard guard;
torch::jit::Module module = torch::jit::load(modelPath);
module.eval();
torch::Tensor t = torch::randn({1, 3, 224, 224});
c10::IValue t_out = module.forward({t});
}
}
To load torchscript model for mobile we need some special setup which is placed in struct JITCallGuard
in this example. It may change in future, you can track the latest changes keeping an eye in our pytorch android jni code
