GDAL Error – ERROR4: File Not Supported with GDAL

gdaljava

This is my first time trying to use GDAL with java bindings and it's not easy…

GDAL 2.3.0
Libraries & java-bindings built on linux
code on Eclipse with gradle & shared lib ok

Code example :

import org.gdal.gdal.Dataset;
import org.gdal.gdal.gdal;
final Dataset src = gdal.Open("/home/seo/mnt_01-12-2017.asc", gdalconst.GA_ReadOnly);

When i run the code through Eclipse, all i get is :

ERROR 4: `/home/seo/mnt_01-12-2017.asc' not recognized as a supported file format.

If i test this file with gdalinfo, it's good :

Driver: AAIGrid/Arc/Info ASCII Grid Files:
/home/seo/mnt_01-12-2017.asc
Size is 1318, 1660
[…]

If i open the file with vim :

ncols         1318 
nrows         1660
xllcorner     372060.81
yllcorner     320519.071

If i convert the file with gdal_translate in GeoTiff, i have the same error on eclipse :

ERROR 4: `/home/simon/mnt_01-12-2017.geotiff' not recognized as a supported file format.

Any idea why it's not properly working on my java code ?

Output of gdal.getDriverCount() : 0
We may have a lead !

Okay, found it !

You need to add some stuff on the code :

// we need to register the drivers
gdal.AllRegister();

Now it's working :

Driver count: 211

Thanks guys for helping me out !

[GIS] GDAL Java bindings GDAL 2.0.0 in Eclipse

Setting up GDAL for Java IDE (in Windows) requires the following two steps:

Setting GDAL in system/server using the following steps.

You can download the executable GDAL packages (stable releases) from GIS internals. Choose compiler (Microsoft Visual C) & architecture (32bit or 64bit) depending upon your PC and download the compiled binaries zip file (not the Compiled libraries and headers).
Extract the zip file and save in some drive preferably C drive.
Now create/append the following data in your PC Environmental Variables (Computer --> Properties -->Advance System Settings -->Environment variables):

CREATE/APPEND VARIABLE VALUE REQUIREMENT

CREATE GDAL_DATA C:\gdal\bin\gdal-data MANDATORY CREATE GDAL_DRIVER_PATH C:\gdal\bin\gdal\plugins MANDATORY APPEND PATH C:\gdal\bin MANDATORY APPEND PATH C:\gdal\bin\gdal\apps OPTIONAL

The last append option is required if you want to use the gdal tools from any location in your PC.
Now you test the GDAL tools. Open Command prompt in your PC and type gdalinfo --formats. This command will list out the typr of raster formats it supports. Alternatively ogrinfo --formats will display vector formats.

Setting GDAL for project in Netbeans/Eclipse IDE.

Copy and paste following four/one dll file(s) from C:\gdal\bin\gdal\java to your jdk bin folder.

gdalconstjni.dll
gdaljni.dll
ogrjni.dll
osrjni.dll

gdalalljni.dll (in higher versions of gdal v2.3.0 and above)

You need to add gdal.jar file (from C:\gdal\bin\gdal\java) in the JAVA BUILD PATH Library location.
Now your java project will work with GDAL. Just ensure the GDAL package and JDK architecture (x86/x64).

Note: If you forget to do this you get an exception while executing your code as Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError.
