[Tut] How to perform AndEngine Examples of Nicolas Gramlich - AugmentedRealityExample (with camera)

andengineaugmentedrealityextension.jar has some problems when using it to implement this example on emulator, so you can use some files to replace the .jar file

Create the package org.anddev.andengine.extension.augmentedreality and create 2 files like this

Here is the code of BaseAugmentedRealityGameActivity class

package org.anddev.andengine.extension.augmentedreality;

import org.anddev.andengine.opengl.view.ComponentSizeChooser;

import org.anddev.andengine.opengl.view.RenderSurfaceView;

import org.anddev.andengine.ui.activity.BaseGameActivity;

import android.graphics.PixelFormat;
