Generating R file. Error?

[PaulD]

Every time I hit the "Run", I get to "Generating R file" and it errors out.

Does this have something to do with the fact that I am running the files from Google Drive?

Or did I not do something right in the set up of B4A

Or ??

I had the same problem when the designer became disconnected from the phone emulator. I had to restart the phone emulator, connect the designer, then the compiler managed to get past the 'R' step without failing.

Have you ever seen at Log Tab (right-below conner)?

This step is not related in any way to the emulator or device.

This might be the cause. Try to save your project in a different folder.

New Install... Same Issue... Arrrggg!!!

Thank you all for your suggestions...

I have uninstalled and re-installed B4A and moved all files to local drives, rebuilt all of the paths, re-installed the library's..

I just tried a "New" file, with nothing but an ImageView and an image added to the view... ZERO coding (other than what B4A starts with) and the core lib....

When I try to "run" it is still giving me the BS it was all day yesterday...

Parsing code. 0.00
Compiling code. 0.06
Compiling layouts code. 0.00
Generating R file. Error

The designer works perfectly, I am connected wireless and can see the design in real time, even make changes on my phone that are reflected on the emulator (Very cool BTW)....

What I can't do is see anything "Run"..... Frustrating!!

Any Ideas?? :sign0094:

Just for fun, try the attached project, it has NOTHING but a message box, if you still get the same error, then is something on your system.

What version of B4A do you have?

 

[PaulD]

Ok, I downloaded the zip... unzipped it, and loaded it into B4A, then did a "Run"

The same issue came up in the Compile & Debug box, but then a new box appeared... (See Pic)

mgwz.dll file? Weird!

BTW the version of B4A is 2.70

 

[NJDude]

I don't know what that DLL is about, in fact, I don't have it in my system (judging by the screenshot I'm assuming you're running Win7).

Have you updated the Android SDK?

 

[PaulD]

YEAH!!!

So I found this stupid dll file and figured out how to install it using CMD (What a pain in the but!!)

Once I got that stupid dll file installed, I was able to "Run" it... however since I did uninstall and reinstall the B4A program, I had to build a new "Private Sign Key"

But it is now fully functional!!!! YEAH!!

Thank you!! NJDude!

BTW I was finally able to make the CompactActionBar work as well... Kick ASS! Thanks for that!!

 

[NJDude]

You have to backup and save that Private Key File, no need to recreate it, that file it is very important, read more about it HERE

I'm glad I could help.
