Android Question Compiling Error - The filename or extension is too long

[Antonio Ferreira]

Now I have the error "The filename or extension is too long" when i compile the project.
If i remove one or two modules from the project, I don´t have this error.
There is some limit for the project size ?

Java Version: 8

No.

Where is the project saved?

I have the project on c:\b4android\projects\glose4 that i created a month ago.
I have an old version of the same project on c:\b4android\projects\glose2 that compile without error (when i create a new version, i copy the old project to a new folder)
I think that the problem was with a new layout file that i created yesterday on the new project (glose4).
I delete this file, and I recreate the same layout file on the designer.
After this, the project compile without error.
After restart the computer, i have the same error when i compile the project ."The filename or extension is too long"

Thank you Erel for your help

If you can reproduce it then send me the project to [email protected] and I'll check it.

 

[Erel]

Thank you. It is fixed for the next update. It is indeed related to the large number of modules.

Consider breaking the project into several subprojects compiled as native libraries. It will make compilation faster and will also help you maintain this large project.

I go breaking the project in subprojects.
Thank you Erel for your always fast reply.

I got this error too.

Please advise.

 

[Erel]

How many modules are in the project?

 

[Calvin Yee]

got limitation?

many module in the project. have 30 module.

 

[Erel]

It should work in the next version of B4A, however it will be better for many reasons to split the project into multiple projects and compile some of the modules as libraries.
