Getting started with Android in Oxygene

Marc,

I uninstalled Android Studio, re-installed it, created and started a new virtual device and successfully created an empty app in Android Studio and ran it and it ran on the virtual device I created.

Then I went into Water, created a new Android application, set the preferences for Diagnostic build, did a build and got this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\RemObjects Software\Elements\Bin\EBuild.exe" "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\RemObjects Software\Elements\Water\Android\org.me.androidapplication5\org.me.androidapplication5.sln" --logger:fire --configuration:Debug --debug --statistics --verbosity:diagnostic "--xml:C:\Users\xxx\Documents\RemObjects Software\Elements\Water\Android\org.me.androidapplication5\obj\org.me.androidapplication5.water.xml" --build --setting:TreatFixableErrorsAsWarnings=True

I’m guessing I need a new SDK version so I’ll try to find that and try again. I’m guessing the SDK came either from the Android Studio install or the Android stuff from Xamarin in Visual Studio.

mh · April 8, 2019, 2:55pm

that’s an old version of DX. note the 25.0.3. If you note my reply in the other thread, I was using 29.0.0, the current. so yours is 4 years behind.

Open and SADK Manager in Android Studio, and update to newer tools (I think 26 or 27 and later should do it, but I’d go with latest, always.

mtiede · April 8, 2019, 3:05pm

I thought I did that. But I’ll look again and see what I missed.

… time passes …

I’m guessing the problem may be that the Android Studio created that SDK Location under MY USER. I didn’t ask for that, I’m almost certain because I would not have guessed AppData\Local.

Now what should I do? How is Water determining to use the OLD one? Do I change something somewhere so it looks where Android Studio put it? Or do I change Android Studio to put it where it looks? Or both? Or something else?

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:12pm

Can you also check what version subfolder(s) exist in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\build-tools? just 25 or also different ones? it could be an issue with our logic for picking the best one (but I’d be surprised)

mtiede · April 8, 2019, 3:17pm

That old version is the only one that is in that folder. (see my previous post for hints)

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:18pm

Ok, good, that means EBuild is doing the right thing ;).

mtiede · April 8, 2019, 3:19pm

I see where Water has the path for the Java and Android stuff, but the fields appear grayed out. I assume they are disabled, though as I type this, I wonder if they are grayed because they haven’t been altered. Will check.

… time passes …

odd, you can type in there, but it doesn’t save it. (probably ought to prevent keystrokes there if we can’t change it)

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:22pm

Note that the tools are managed separately from the SDKs themselves, on a second tab:

mtiede · April 8, 2019, 3:26pm

Here is what I have:

What should I do? We look the same? Maybe install that thing that says there is an update?

… time passes …

I installed that thing that said there was an update, created a new Android application and it still complained about the option. I’m guessing it is still not finding things in my local data.

… time passes …

I tried changing the path to where it was looking. Although it took the path, it complained about it being readonly. Which is sort of reasonable since it is in “program files” and Windows doesn’t really want you messing about in there anymore. And so it didn’t actually put anything there.

I suppose I could figure out how to manually copy stuff there, but it looks like we are trying to put it in a place that it doesn’t want it.

And we should maybe be changing something else?

next step?

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:38pm

click the [-] next to Android SDK Build tools to change it to a [√], and then press OK to install the update. That UI is very misleading, if you actually have 25 installed but it shows like this…

mtiede · April 8, 2019, 3:39pm

Already did that.

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:39pm

No idea, but none of these are going to help. You need to get the tools updated.

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:41pm

WAIT:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\25.0.3\lib\dx.jar"

this does not match the path thats shown in the dialog. (AppData\Local\Android\SDK). it looks like you have TWO copies of the4 Android SDK installed, and you’ve sent Water to use the one in Program Files, but Android Studio is updating the one in Users.

Change there Android SDK setting in Water to point to the right one.

mtiede · April 8, 2019, 3:42pm

The tools DID update. But in the “C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools” folder. That folder now has the 28.0.3 and 29.0.0-rc2.

The problem I think is that Water doesn’t look where Android Studio is putting stuff.

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:43pm

^^^

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:44pm

(also, I recommend uninstalling/deleting the second copy, to avoid any chance for future confusion…)

mtiede · April 8, 2019, 3:44pm

Earlier, I pointed out that I couldn’t change the Water ones. They are grayed out and don’t save changes.

Is there some other place to change them? I don’t recall telling either Water or Android Studio where it should be getting or putting stuff. I think I just defaulted in both environments.

Shall I maybe uninstall Water and try re-installing it?

mtiede · April 8, 2019, 3:45pm

I’m guessing Android Studio put in the SDK stuff AND Visual Studio put in the OLD one for Xamarin, but just a guess.

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:47pm

If Water shows a gray value, thats the value it detected by default (eg thats stored somewhere in the registry at a default location). you should be able to change the path, and and if its valid, the value will persists. The custom value you provide there will be stored in %APPDATA%\RemObjects Software\Elements\CooperPaths.xml, you can also edit it manually there.

here’s what mine looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<paths>
	<jdk>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_162.jdk/Contents/Home</jdk>
	<androidsdk>/Users/Shared/Android/sdk</androidsdk>
</paths>

mh · April 8, 2019, 3:49pm

(I cannot reproduce not being able to change the path inside Water. if I enter a different path, as long as its valid, it gets accepted, and will show in black instead of gray.)
