Kinectproject with Nite Middleware and OpenNI throws Exceptions

Question

i have a problem with my Kinect. At the beginning i started only with OpenNI Samples, which works fine. Now i try to start with NITE and have some issues. If i run my code, Eclipse throws exceptions like this.

    Started context generating...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: Method com.primesense.NITE.NativeMethods.xnvMessageListener_RegisterActivate(JLjava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/OpenNI/OutArg;)I not found

OpenNI and NITE jar Files added to the build path... but it doesn't works :-(

Answer 1

Problem solved! There is a incompatibility between the actual OpenNI and NITE Versions which can be downloaded from openni.org. OpenNI SDK v1.5.7.10 and NiTE v1.5.2.23 doesn't work together. Older versions are not available there :-(

The Solution is very simple. There is a all-around installer for OpenNI, NITE and SensorKinect, called ZigFuOpenNI. This Package included following versions.

OpenNI-Win32-1.3.2.3-Dev NITE-Win32-1.4.1.2-Dev SensorKinect-Win-OpenSource32-5.0.3.4

ZiFuOpenNi can be downloaded from

Works fine!
