+Hello OpenCV sample with Maven Central
+--------------------------------------
+
+Since OpenCV 4.9.0 OpenCV for Android package is available with Maven Central and may be installed
+automatically as Gradle dependency. In this section we're gonna create a simple app that does nothing
+but OpenCV loading with Maven Central.
+
+1. Open Android Studio and create empty project by choosing ***Empty Views Activity***
+
+    ![](images/create_empty_project.png)
+
+2. Setup the project:
+    - Choose ***Java*** language
+    - Choose ***Groovy DSL*** build configuration language
+    - Choose ***Minumum SDK*** with the version number not less than OpenCV supports. For 4.9.0 minimal SDK version is 21.
+
+    ![](images/setup_project.png)
+
+3. Edit `build.gradle` and add OpenCV library to Dependencies list like this:
+    @code{.gradle}
+    dependencies {
+        implementation 'org.opencv:opencv:4.9.0'
+    }
+    @endcode
+   `4.9.0` may be replaced by any version available as [official release](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.opencv/opencv).
+
+4. Before using any OpenCV function you have to load the library first. If you application includes other
+   OpenCV-dependent native libraries you should load them ***after*** OpenCV initialization. Add the folowing
+   code to load the library at app start:
+    @snippet samples/android/tutorial-1-camerapreview/src/org/opencv/samples/tutorial1/Tutorial1Activity.java ocv_loader_init
+    Like this:
+    ![](images/sample_code.png)
+
+5. Choose a device to check the sample on and run the code by pressing `run` button
