If you want to perform OCR from the phone-based camera, it'l be hard to use predefined bitmaps: photos will be taken with different scale, they will contain noise, they'll be scewed etc, so that would hardly be accurate enough. If you're developing an Android APP, you are most likely usign Java. The bad news in that there are no native opensource Java OCR SDKs. There are Java APIs which wrap calls for native interfaces, for example, for one of the most popular opensource OCR engines - Tesseract (http://groups.google.com/group/tesseract-ocr/) - there are some Java wrappers like tesjeract (http://code.google.com/p/tesjeract/) or Tess4J (http://tess4j.sf.net/). That could work for you, but it's rather hard to set up and will require developing image-preprocessing and font training on your side. One more solution could be a cloud service. It requires end-user application to have the internet connection, but it's independent from your programming language choice and resources limitations. Have a look at <a href="http://www.ocrsdk.com/" rel="nofollow">ABBYY Cloud OCR SDK</a>, it's a cloud-based OCR SDK recently launched by ABBYY. It's in beta, so for now it's totally free to use and it has a ready-to-go <a href="https://github.com/abbyysdk/ocrsdk.com/tree/master/Android" rel="nofollow">Android code samples</a>. It has image pre-processing built-in, requires no training and simply works out of the box - you just send and image and receive ocr-ed data. Plus it has field-level recognition functionality which could save you a valuable piece of small device processing resources. I work @ ABBYY and can provide you additional info on our products if necessary.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
