Re: Android SDK lesson
My advice to LC Ltd was: since Android Studio incorporates its own JDK and LC Ltd's official advice is to install Android Studio, then the simplest path is to have the IDE rely on the paths of that bundled JDK to setup and configure the LC/Android interactions.

Re: Android SDK lesson
Hi Bernard, I did and it says not a valid Android SDK path - and yet B4A accepts it without any protestations. I have posted to the thread you were helping people at omn the forum. We have to get a definitive "no pain" way of installation as it seems there are different problems on different platforms.

Re: Android SDK lesson
Hi Lagi I'd suggest following the Lesson as the most straightforward route. Let us know if that doesn't work.

Re: Android SDK lesson
Hi Bernard, Thanks for answering, I was being sarcastic and did not expect a fire and forget to install, but at least one that didn't entail swearing at inanimate objects,, software and companies big and small. . What I actually hoped for was a pointer to the de facto thread that means I don't have to spend days looking for problems that others have solved There are lots of threads but I have yet to find one that is definitive for the latest version or at least 1 version back. Like I always say - developers should always eat their own dog food (to personal friends I don't use the words dog food - you know what i mean?) I will look for a thread by you and expect that it should be the latest unless you say otherwise - you didn't say if it works on the latest yet though - which version of indy should I use?

Re: Android SDK lesson
Good luck with that. For the last two people I helped on the Forum with that issue, it turned out that Google had provided a version of Android Studio where key build tools were missing. I discovered this after days of investigation in trying to help people get their setup working and after I uploaded a 300mb zip file to the cloud which the user used to replace the relevant folder in his Android Studio installation. Google broke AS on both Linux and OSX (and possibly Windows too). You can see the big yellow warning callouts in the Lesson to which you link. There's probably more replies to that Livecode Lesson than any other. I've advised LC Ltd on what I think they should do to simply the install/setup for Android development. Considering that Google broke the later versions of their tool and Google hide the unbroken versions (not to mention the lunacy of Google's naming-numbering), you are not going to find a one button solution from LC that works around all those issues.

Android SDK lesson
Hi I have not compiled for Android for nearly 3 years now and Ive had new machines. I want to install the SDK and I remember the problems I had originally - so to save my mental health Can someone (Panos?) point me to the LATEST lessons for the latest version that will install with 1 press of a button please (sarcasm). I have the lesson here https://lessons.livecode.com/m/2571/l/625198-livecode-and-android-studio But it mentions Java 8 and to uninstall 9 and 10 (I have none installed on this machine) Thanks in advance Regards Lagi ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
