Android Question Could not find file: 'C:\Program Files(x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\libraries\appcompat.aar'

[SPallavi]

Hi,

I thought of trying the sliding drawer feature so I downloaded the file from https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-b4xdrawer-sliding-drawer.97828/#content and when I open the file it shows me the error message(Attached below) "An error occurred. Could not find file: 'C:\Program Files(x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\libraries\appcompat.aar'". I checked the "Libraries" in the root and it includes "AppCompat.android.aar", "AppCompat.jar" and "AppCompat.xml". I'm not sure whether I configured wrongly or is there any steps I missed. Does anyone faced similar problem? How should I solve this?

Use the latest version of B4A, with the recommended Android SDK components and everything will work: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html

Actually it didn't seem to for me. I wanted to run B4A-Bridge from source code and got this error. I downloaded AppCompatLib4_00.zip from

AppCompat - Make Material Design apps compatible with older Android versions

This library is a wrapper for the Google AppCompat v7 support library. B4A V6.0 or newer is required! From V3.52 on B4A V6.80 or newer is required! If you still use B4A < V6.80, use V3.51 of this library. The main reason for this library is to make your apps compatible with older Android...

www.b4x.com

and found that three of the components were already in the B4A Libraries folder (I checked files sizes to make sure they were the same) but appcompat.aar was missing. Copying it to the Libraries folder let B4A_Bridge compile. Where should it have originally come from? I believe that I followed those instructions when I set up B4A.

Everything will work with B4A v9.90 and the recommended SDK. AppCompat with the jetified component is included as an internal library.
