Thank you!

Hello

When I try to compile this (I chose "android" in project/options and in compile multiplatform):

  PRINT "HELLO WORLD!" ,100,100
  SHOWSCREEN
  MOUSEWAIT
  END

I get this:

What to do?
Thanks

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 



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  Thks again

Thank you. File Explorer works just perfectly for me . 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

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.

glbasic-debug.apk
glbasic-unsigned.apk
glbasic-debug-unaligned.apk

Those are the only apk files wich are created.
What must I do now?

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,

Yes! 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 
Thank you for your patience

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

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?

Thanks alot  it solved this problem when I installed JDK 1.6 and removed all spaces from the Android SDK "path".
But then I got this

Hello guys

I have following problem when I try to build for android (the description is between "****"):

Result: I don't get any .apk file produced    .

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  with any solution. And please make it in "for n00bs" style so I can get it from the start. Thank you in advance
