Panos,

WooHoo!!  Adding the Android Build-tools 25.0.3 did the trick!!   Not only did 
LiveCode accept the “android-skk” folder as the “Location of Android 
development SDK”, but it also successfully built the Android app.

Panos, thank you.  Really!  Thank you for your time and your detailed 
instructions.  You made my day!!

Re: Android Setup Config

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi Dan,


I have download the “tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip” and unzipped it into a
folder android-sdk. Then launched tools/android and installed “Android
4.0.3 (API 15)”.


Now when I launch tools/android I see at the top:

(These are the installed versions)


Android SDK Tools: 24.4.1

Android SDK Platform-tools: 25.0.5

Android SDK Build-tools: 25.0.3


Moreover, my android-sdk folder contains those folders:


add-ons

build-tools

platform-tools

platforms

sources

system-images

temp

tools


And the “platforms” folder contains a folder “android-15”


I can successfully set the “Location of Android development SDK root” in
the LC Prefs, and also to create an android standalone.


Hope this helps,

Panos

Re: Android Setup Config

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hmm your /MacintoshHD/android-sdk/ directory should also include a folder
"build-tools". Since it is not present, you can install it using the SDK
Manager:

Launch tools/android
Find an item "Android SDK Build-tools" (should be at the top)
Tick the checkbox and select "Install packages"

After that the problem should be fixed :)

Best,
Panos

Hi Dan,

Your setup sounds perfectly fine to me. Could you please check if there is
a file /tools/lib/sdklib.jar?

In the meanwhile I will check the version of the Android SDK Tools I have
installed in my Mac which works OK with LC.

Best,
Panos

Re: Android Setup Config

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

Thanks again for the help, but I think I must be stupid.  I selected “Desktop” 
and still got “invalid Android SDK”.   So, I deleted everything, redownloaded 
“tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip” and put it in it’s own folder at:  
/MacintoshHD/android-sdk/.  I then unzipped it and launched 
/MacintoshHD/android-sdk/tools/android.   I selected “Android 4.0.3 (API 15)” 
and clicked “Install Packages”.   When the install was complete, I went back to 
LC 8.1.3 and in Preferences I selected /MacintoshHD/android-sdk/ as the 
“Location of Android development SDK root”.  Once again, “invalid Android SDK”.

The /MacintoshHD/android-sdk/ directory contains these items:
add-ons
platform-tools
platforms
sources
system-images
temp
tools
tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip


Any other thoughts or advise?  Maybe I’m destined to only make iPhone apps?

Re: Android Setup Config

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi Dan,

You have to select the parent folder that contains the "tools" folder as
the “Location of Android development SDK root”, so in that case you have to
select "Desktop".

Or even better, move the "tools" folder (and every other folder that was
installed to your Desktop after installing the Android 4.0.3) into a new
folder called "android-sdk", and select "android-sdk" as the “Location of
Android development SDK root".

This folder should contain at least the following folders:
- tools
- platform-tools
- platforms

Hope this helps,
Panos

Re: Android Setup Config

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

Thank you for the assistance!  But, didn’t work for me.   Here’s what I did:

(1) Downloaded “tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip” and unzipped it.  Now I have a 
“tools” folder on my desktop.
(2) I double-clicked /desktop/tools/android.  The “Android SDK Manager” opened.
(3) I selected “Android 4.0.3 (API 15)” and clicked “Install Packages”.
(4) After the install was complete, I went back to LC 8.1.3 and in Preferences 
I selected the /desktop/tools/ as the “Location of Android development SDK 
root”.  Nada – invalid Android SDK.

What did I do wrong?

Re: Android Setup Config

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi Dan,

1. Download version 24.4.1 and unzip it.
2. This only includes a "tools" folder, which has the 24.4.1 tools.
3. You have to launch the SDK Manager and install also the "Android 4.0.3
(API 15)". To launch the SDK manager just double click on "tools/android".
4. After that, you should be able to select the path to the sdks tools in
the LC Prefs, and build an android standalone successfully.

We are going to add support for the latest version of Android Studio in
LiveCode 8.1.5 RC1. This will hopefully make things easier.

Best regards,
Panos

Android Setup Config

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Does anyone know the proper configuration for building an Android standalone on 
a Mac?  When I build the app, I get this:

“There was an error while saving the standalone application could not encode 
class bundle”

I followed the directions from this page (updated just a week ago):
  
http://lessons.livecode.com/m/2571/l/27389-how-do-i-become-an-android-developer-on-a-mac
 

But, I still get the same error.  The instructions say to get and install the 
latest versions of both Android SDK and Java SDK.  The instructions then go on 
to say that you can’t use the latest version of the Android SDK Tools, you have 
to use version 24.4.1.  This version is not available in Android Studio nor is 
it posted (that I could find) on the android website.  I did eventually find 
and download it.  But, what do you do with it?  After unzipping in, you have a 
new “Tools” folder.  I replaced the existing Tools folder at 
/Users/myComputer/Library/Android/sdk/ and restarted. But, that didn’t seem to 
solve anything.  Now LiveCode no longer recognizes the “android-sdk-mac_x86” 
folder as a valid Android SDK.  UG!  This will be day 3 trying to get an 
Android App Built!

MacOSX 10.12.2
LiveCode 8.1.3
Android SKD Manager – Revision 24.4.1
Java Version 8 Update 111

ANY assistance or knowledge you have would be greatly appreciated!
