Android Face detection of a static image using opencv?

I found out opencv sample face detection example for android but it is detecting face from a video stream. I want to detect face of a static image from image gallery. So far i am able to retrieve image using image gallery. But i am not able tweak the opencv example. I do not want to use the FaceDetection api which is available in SDK. Any help greatly appreciated! Thank You.

To detect faces from static images, you could try to use an algorithm such as SURF: http://opencv.itseez.com/doc/tutorials/features2d/feature_homography/feature_homography.html

code: http://code.opencv.org/svn/opencv/trunk/opencv/samples/cpp/tutorial_code/features2D/SURF_Homography.cpp

The example detects an object in an static image.
