The `Android Manager` was introduced to avoid the need to keep OpenCV libs copy inside each app package.
Instead it is installed as a separate app and share a single OpenCV instance across all the app-s in the system. See the [slides](https://docs.google.com/a/itseez.com/presentation/d/1EO_1kijgBg_BsjNp2ymk-aarg-0K279_1VZRcPplSuk/present#slide=id.p) for details.
If you prefer not to use OpenCV Manager advantages and keep own OpenCV copy in your app APK, follow the [static initialization](http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/tutorials/introduction/android_binary_package/dev_with_OCV_on_Android.html#application-development-with-static-initialization) option.
