Android Question B4ASDKManager and OpenJDK14 and JavaFX [SOLVED]

[artsoft]

Hi!

I have problems with Biometrics jar - so I want to check my installed jar with SDKManager.

But I get only this error message:

I know that normally JavaFX is not included, so I installed it:

as modules and

as libs!

Environment var JAVA_HOME is correctly set:

I need the SDKManager urgently!

Thanks to all who could help here.

Best to follow the installation instructions: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
If you want Java 14 then download it from here:

B4J v8.30 BETA is available for download

Improvements: Support for Java 14. As with Java 11, B4J expects a specific structure. You should download this package (OpenJDK 14 + OpenJFX 14): https://b4xfiles-4c17.kxcdn.com/jdk-14.0.1.zip Build standalone package - B4JPackager11 is now integrated in the IDE. This makes it simpler to build...

Hi!

I did all steps on https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html --- as you can see above, Erel!

New folder C:\Android with all needed files.

Then I downloaded OpenJDK 14.01 / OpenJFX 14 from link you provided above.

I fixed all environment variables on my PC (JAVA_HOME, PATH, CLASSPATH etc.) and now this again:

JavaFX still missing ...
I need your help again please.

This is not the correct way to start the manager. Start it from B4A - Tools.

Now it works, Erel! Thanks a lot.

I have to set now the correct path to sdkmanager.bat file.
Many thanks.

Another problem now, Erel:

SDKMANAGER works - all needed libs are installed.

But I cannot compile my app and I get every time this error:

What should I do now?

I tried with this command line:

#MultiDex: True

But this didn't help me:

Byte-Code konvertieren - optimiert dex.    Error
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dex.DexException: Library dex files are not supported in multi-dex mode

I found this forum entry:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions...ry-dex-files-are-not-supported-in-multi-dex-m

But I dont know on how to disable first the "pre-dexing" ...
