Java Question Compiling error with SLC

[Johan Schoeman]

A B4A member is trying to compile the java source code that I have posted here with SLC but gets an error. He also tried an earlier post and it gives the same error.

Starting step: Compiling Java code.
javac 1.8.0_25
D:\BlueDudeZxingLib\src\ice\zxing\b4aZXingLib.java:4: error: package android.content does not exist
import android.content.Intent;

The first 4 lines of b4aZXingLib.java is as follows:

line 1. package ice.zxing;
line 2.
line 3. import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
line 4. import android.content.Intent;

It compiles without any problem on my computer. Any idea what is the reason for the compiling error that he gets?

I think SLC picks up the android.jar path from the B4A IDE path.

Thanks @thedesolatesoul. I am travelling at present and cannot help him to solve this right now. What is the solution? Is there a path in his B4A IDE that needs to be set up or is not corrrectly set up?

Is B4A installed on that computer?

 

[JTmartins]

Yes it is Erel. And working perfectly. The path in B4A is C:\androidSDK\platforms\android-17\android.jar and B4A is installed in the usual place C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android

OK Jose - now you are in good hands!

 

[Erel]

Actually I'm not sure why it fails to compile. Is this the full error message?

Are you able to compile the FirstLibrary example that is in SLC zip file?

 

[JTmartins]

Yes I Can. Compiling firstlib and (after setting the proper permissions in anywhere software folder) it compiles OK..But Firstlib.xml does not apear in extra-libs folder

Ah..ok. It went to B4J folder

 

[JTmartins]

Oppps..I think I found the problem. I was running the B4J version...Testing the other now. Silly me.

Ok it compiles now. Although I get a bunch of No ShortName annotation found for class: XXX

wich is the same problem I'm getting from Eclipse and that does not allow me to compile there...

But it compile here, So I will test this now.

Jose, you need to put com in the -b4aignore field. Not xxx. It should then compile!
