Android Error

[bigsofty]

Messing around with an Android emulator, so I need some APKs, I set the Java and Android SDKs also set up the system vars for the paths but I get this with an Android compile...

open that file and read what it tires to do there, please. My Android configuration changed yesterday, so I can't check.

BTW this is all a first for me, so chances are I may be doing something 'silly' to prompt this error.

Im not certain but I am sure I saw a q drive error when I didnt have the paths set correctly. It seemed to use Q as a default path. I would check you have all paths are as per the manual.

[bigsofty]

I'll check but the strange thing is, every now and then, I get a compile, without errors?

[Kitty Hello]

GLBasic makes a temp drive "Q:" that links to C:\program files (x86)\GLBasic, so you don't have spaces in the compiler paths.
You can make a Q drive yourself and start GLBasic from there to check if that's the issue.

OK, many thanks Gernot, I think all my paths are fine but still an error. I think it will try to re-install the SDKs and see how I get on.

Oddly enough I'm getting the exact same error.  I compiled and installed Hello World just fine, but so far I've tried the 3D examples Shadows and ObjectCreation and gotten the same error as posted here.  Got a couple of ideas, going to try them.

Edit:  Ok this is really, really odd.  I made a project, called it AndTest.  It's a copy of the source to the sample Hello World.  It compiles and installs (it's the one I mentioned in another thread) absolutely fine every time.  Now guess what happens when I try compiling the original Hello World sample?  The error message posted here, every single time.

Now here's the thing.  The 3D project sample Shadows gives that error whenever I try to compile it for Android, however if I create a new project for it and copy the source over it compiles just fine.  I've tried this with two projects from the Samples directory that I can't compile for Android so far, and both times they have compiled and installed fine when I create a new project.

So, I'm wondering if there's something in old project files that interferes with compiling for Android. ie. if you are compiling something using a project file that was created using a previous version of GLBasic that causes this error for some reason.  I can't think of any other explanation at the moment and I'm getting consistent results when I test this so far...
