Since I need to implement release / debug dependent code changes I was thinking that using Ant would be a good idea. Knowing zilch about it so far I looked up how-tos and docs.
- I installed ant (version 1.8.2) - I added the SDK paths platform-tools and tools to the global PATHvariable - I prepared my Android app project with android update project -p /path/to/project - I do not have any space characters in any of my development related file system paths (causes Ant to break) However, as soon as I try to build with ant debug or ant release or ant clean I get the following error message: Buildfile: /home/tw/Development/Android/workspace/ApiDemos/build.xml BUILD FAILED /home/tw/Development/Android/workspace/ApiDemos/build.xml:91: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/ant/build.xml:90:* taskdef A class needed by class com.android.ant.SignApkTask cannot be found: com.android.ant.SignApkTask* using the classloader AntClassLoader[/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/anttasks.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/common.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/sdklib.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/androidprefs.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/mkidentity.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/commons-compress-1.0.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/httpclient-4.1.1.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/httpcore-4.1.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/httpmime-4.1.1.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/commons-codec-1.4.jar:/home/tw/Development/Android/SDK/tools/lib/manifmerger.jar] Total time: 1 second Wow. The class *SignApkTask* cannot find itself. Really clever. As you can see in the output above I also tried building a fresh ApiDemos project with Ant. - I could not find any information related to that particular error message above. - The file SDK/tools/lib/anttasks.jar *does* contain a class named com.android.ant.SignApkTask - I re-downloaded the latest SDK, installed everything, same error - I tried the Ant version that comes bundled with Eclipse, same error So how do I fix this problem? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
