Result: I don't get any .apk file produced :rant: :'(.
It says that my swt file is missing but if you you look at my attached (please do) you can se that it is there and environment variable is provided for it as well (the same goes for Java JDK SE (32MB) on my Win 7 (64MB). Java JDK SE, Android SDK 2.2 and GLBasic are installed in the chronological sequence they are written down here. they are all set to the compatibility mod Win XP SP2 (Alias 32 Mb/x86 - reason: "it allways works in 32MB"(or maybe I'm wrong)) and "Administrator rights" is checked.
Please help :o :giveup: :sick: :nw: with any solution. And please make it in "for n00bs" style so I can get it from the start. Thank you in advance

Are you using the 32-bit Java SDK (should be version 1.6 and not 1.7 as that one has.. problems...) ? The 64 bit version doesn't work...
In addition the Android SDK should be installed in a place with no spaces in
The environment settings should be something like :
ANDROID_SWT=C:\Android\android-sdk\tools\lib\x86
Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin;C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Android\android-sdk\tools
Thank for for for a very quick reply.
I need to try it out then i'll post back
Thanks alot :booze: it solved this problem when I installed JDK 1.6 and removed all spaces from the Android SDK "path".
But then I got this :doubt:

Hmm. The code relevant to that bit is this:-
<echo>Compiling aidl files into Java classes...</echo>
<aidl executable="${aidl}" framework="${android.aidl}"
genFolder="${gen.absolute.dir}"> <source path="${source.absolute.dir}"/>
<source refid="project.libraries.src"/>
</aidl>
Shot in the dark, try compiling from a directory that does not have ;-) in it. 'DeT err MIYT StoRe ROdmaPpE ;-)' is a bit weird, and while I don't see why it would be an issue, it might be.
Android SDK is very strict about what it can use in file and directory paths - I suspect ;-) is a big no-no...
Ok. Now I've done something stupid...
I tried to compile my my project outside the folder with ";-)". And it actually succeeded. I did not get error message whle building and it did produce som files with .apk in the new folder. That's why I would like to thank you both for your help: now it actually worked on my computer. The problem was, that I didn't have the file "yep.apk" because I named my project "yep".
So I tried to solve it by myself which it showed I souldn't have done: I tried to change my projects directory/path so from ";-)" to something normal and boring like default. It "succeded" in creating it exept when I started the editor next time I couldn't use the option "new project": "ok"-button was not highlited (it was greyed out). Now how do I solve this problem. I did try to solve it by reinstalling GLBasic with new Projects Directory (Default Path: documents) but it didn't help.
what can I do?
Again what I really want is to install GLBasic SDK, choose a new Projects Folder, and afterwards be able to create New Project by default.
Should I download GLBasic from the net in order to rewrite previously downloaded package?
Should I do some registry cleaning (with Reg Cleaner): what files do I need to remove?
Should I ask Gernot to unregister me so I could reregister on this computer again?
Or should we try something else, completely sane and sound?
I would completely uninstall GLBasic and get rid of the registry entries, default samples directory and program directory and then re-install it...
I tried to delete both folders: for SDK and project after I uninstalled it. Are the other direrectories I need to delete. What registry entries exactly are nneded to be deleted? What are their names end like after HK_CLASSES_ROT\...?
Thanks man
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dream_Design\GLBasic
Nothing on HKLM except the installer path suggestion.
Yes! :D It was registry entries. And now it did build. Hallelujah! Well almost. Me unthankful goat missing some executable.
My Android 2.2 Phone (Wildfire) is set to disc storage mode
I went through:
- the options: maximum array - 20, Console program - unchecked, Explicit decalrations - checked, build for - android, cmp - blank, Ink - blank, Maximum framerate - 60Hz, resulotion 320 - 480, Multisampling - 0. Pressed Apply, then Ok.
- Build multiplatform for Android - Ok
Result:

*******************************************************************************
And then I don't have the executable for the Android.
BUILD FAILD - "what does this stupid computer want from me know" - from frustrated n00b
Did I connect my Adroid wrongly or did I ajust it incorrectly?
And how do I envoke emulator(cmd line like thingy with android Icon on it): every time I try to start it it shows up, executes and exits?
And the last 2 follow up questions:
- What files do I need to transfer to or to find om my Android Device after the succesful build (when it happens)?
- Can I use shoebox or something else compressing/protecting/encripting everithing in one file to be played on android?
That the last requests :nw:
Thank you for your patience
I don't know whether it's relevant but I didn't sign anything. I wanted to run the created app unsigned for pure test purposes,
The second build failure can be ignored - it just means it can't actually be transfered to the device - but the APK file will have been created.
glbasic-debug.apk
glbasic-unsigned.apk
glbasic-debug-unaligned.apk
Those are the only apk files wich are created.
What must I do now?
The preferred way is to install them from the Android device by using some file transfer program - you also need to make sure that third party installation is allowed.
How do I install them from the android device?
What transfer program is used and how to use it?
By third parties you mean checking the box on my phone "allow installation of unkown sources right? Or do you mean something else
In the meantime I created an emulator through AVD Manager. I don't know whether it could be of any help to this problem.
I use ES File Explorer to go to the APK file location and install from there, with the Allow insallation of unknown sources active
Thank you. File Explorer works just perfectly for me :booze:. but then how do you install your app (mine should be named m.apk after the building process but i only got glbasic-debug.apk,
glbasic-unsigned.apk and glbasic-debug-unaligned.apk, not m.apk)?
I mean:
Where is my standalone executable m.apk for android? I only have got the 3 above mentioned apk files.
How do you practically install itfrom SD card to system/app folder? Or do I just need to copy/paste the required apk from SD card folder to app folder? What is the install proces and how should it be undertaken by me?
How do I manage media files in the installation process?
Tnank you and hope yoy soon will be free from my annoying questions, cause we near the completion.
Thank you once more
Mr TAToad - YOU ARE THE GREATEST !!! - IT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORKS!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot especially to you cause you helped me day an night to solve this problem. And now it's finally solved. Then I would like to thank Wampus and Kitty Hello for their great help.
Now it's finally finished :offtopic: :bed: :bed: :bed:
:offtopic:
PS.: we can all be relieved from this burden of x-plaining this to newcomers like me again and again about how to build for Android if tutorial be comosed on this thread. If there is an intrest in it i could make some pdf explaining the process onder a name "how to build an app for android". But again if it's needed. Only if it is I would like to put your names in credits: Mr TAToad, Wampus, Kitty Hello. Of course if you self want to be mentioned in it for the help you provided here. But then someone in the community should stand for grammar control of my text. I' too lazy to do it myself. Then who knows something can be used for the extension of the help file in the next update. And then we (GLBasic & it's Community) are loosing a lot by not mentioning anything in the "Features" section of the website that GLBasic actually CAN build apps for Android (I myself discovered this new "feature" of GLBasic "by accident"). Because of that we miss a lot of new members, customer and supporters og the Great Glbasic. I would of course be glad for GLBasic if it happened cause the community & developers are among the best to help others here on the net :good: Thks again
