Hi , i was encountering this error  
java.lang.IllegalStateException: DeepAR not yet initialized! Can’t call this method before the DeepAR is initialized.

i have initialised my deep Ar instance inside onviewCreated and the code looks like this  
if (context!=null){  
deepAr = DeepAR(requireContext())  
deepAr?.setLicenseKey(“my\_key”)  
deepAr?.initialize(requireContext(), this)  
}

then i am having a log statement inside initialised callback of ArEventlistener callback , but the log never prints  
i have added code inside manifest

```auto
<uses-native-library
            android:name="libOpenCL.so"
            android:required="false" />
 <uses-native-library
            android:name="libOpenCL-pixel.so"
            android:required="false" />

```

i have added required code inside my build gradle. can anyone help me with this issue ?

Hi!

Could you try reproducing it on our [Android quickstart example](https://github.com/DeepARSDK/quickstart-android-java)?
