# NNAPI Execution Provider

[Android Neural Networks API (NNAPI)](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/neuralnetworks) is a unified interface to CPU, GPU, and NN accelerators on Android. It is supported by onnxruntime via [DNNLibrary](https://github.com/JDAI-CV/DNNLibrary).

## Minimum requirements

The NNAPI EP requires Android devices with Android 8.1 or higher.

## Build NNAPI EP

For build instructions, please see the [BUILD page](../../BUILD.md#Android-NNAPI).

## Using NNAPI EP in C/C++

To use NNAPI EP for inferencing, please register it as below.
```
InferenceSession session_object{so};
session_object.RegisterExecutionProvider(std::make_unique<::onnxruntime::NnapiExecutionProvider>());
status = session_object.Load(model_file_name);
```
The C API details are [here](../C_API.md#c-api).
