apk creation

[johnaaronrose]

This is a newbie question. I have compiled & run the Hello World app to both emulator & device (using b4a-bridge) after doing the private signature key procedure which created a keystore file. Both run successfully. However, I do not see the .apk file/folder anywhere within the Windows folders for Hello World. Should it be there? If not, where is it (i.e. which folder/directory) on the emulator and device? I have attached a screenshot of Windows Explorer displaying the HelloWorld project folder used by B4a.

You can find apk in Objects folder.

result_debug.apk

I'd already noticed result_debug.apk but I expected to see HelloWorld.apk.

You need to rename "Hello World.b4a" to "HelloWorld.b4a" so you'll got HelloWorld.apk

Bear in mind you have to turn off "Attach Debugger" and "Include Debug Information" to get an apk without the debugger attatched

You need to rename "Hello World.b4a" to "HelloWorld.b4a" so you'll got HelloWorld.apk

As susu posted (in fact this is a bit of FAQ on the forum), if your project name has a space in it then the apk is created as result.apk or result_debug.apk.

If your project name has no spaces in it then the apk is created with your project name.

By project name i mean the name of your ???.b4a project file.

Susu,

Thanks for advice. It worked using HelloWorld.apk. It seems strange behaviour to create result.apk (when debugging off) rather than Hello World.apk from Hello World.apk.
