Try copying system/lib/libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0P1Z8DuTunwN3pJNEsxa0JQYWs/edit to your /system/lib directory. Make sure you also run chmod 644 libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so.

I am having this issue on Genymotion (genymotion.com/#!) . Is this rarely an issue on real devices? – Horsey

@toobsco42 Does this not work for you on Genymotion? Is there no way to boot the system? I'd imagine you just adb shell into it. – Milligan

Answer 2

Looking at the UnsatisfiedLinkError, this is because your .so native library is not inside the APK in the lib folder.
