No, that depends not on the IDE - its a "pure" permission problem

Problem is:
If it has READONLY Permission on Server (as described on this Thred), the compiler says Access Denied.
If the File has READ&WRITE Permission, the Compiler deletes the File and Directory values\strings.xml.
How can I compile and keep this data?

If the file have NETWORK write permission, it sholdn't be a problem to set the FILE readonly attribute.

GMan · Jun 24, 2014

Thats right, but AFAIK he wrote about a company server where he didnt has full access to and cant change that, too.

Furthermore I can't get the file "value/string.xml" readonly permissions, it's on our companies fileserver, I didn't have permissions to change the permisssions. After compiling the files will be deleted.

MaFu · Jun 24, 2014

But does he read about NETWORK readonly permissions or the FILE readonly attribute?

Steini1980 · Jun 24, 2014

I'm using the NETWORK Permissions, the FILE attribute will be ignored on the Fileserver.
Furthermore there's no Attribute on Folder level, so it delete Folder and File while compiling.

With v3.5 you can use #AdditionalRes to add another resources folder. This folder will not be managed by the compiler and will never be deleted.

Hi Erel,

I have upgraded B4A to 3.80, now I can add ressources. But I got the following errors:

If I Add the Ressources Folder inside my Project Ressources Folder:
G:\DATEN\Software\MDE\Objects\res\values

I got the Error Message while compiling and the Folder will be deleted anyway:

Generating R file. Error
ERROR: resource directory 'G:\DATEN\Software\MDE\Objects\res\values' does not exist

Click to expand...
If I Add the Ressources Folder outside my Project Folder:
D:\AndroidApps\values

The Compilers keeps the Folder untouched, but I got this Error:

Generating R file. Error
invalid resource directory name: D:\AndroidApps\values/strings.xml

Click to expand...

GMan · Jun 30, 2014

Must they be set as READONLY ?

And did you have a look at the "\" "/" in

D:\AndroidApps\values/strings.xml

Steini1980 · Jun 30, 2014

On Network Volume G:\ the READONLY property will be ignored.

On Local Volume (outside Project folder), it adds "/strings.xml" automatically to the Path.
If used Project Property to add the following Path: #AdditionalRes: D:\AndroidApps\values

Erel · Jun 30, 2014

It should be:

B4X:

#AdditionalRes: D:\AndroidApps

Thanks, compiling is now possible.
If I open the Activity, I get now the following Error:

Erel · Jul 1, 2014

Are you testing it on a real device?

Steini1980 · Jul 1, 2014

Yes, on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 - 2014 Edition

Erel · Jul 1, 2014

Make sure to use the correct dropbox-sync-sdk-android.jar file. If you are using DropboxSync v3.0 then it must be the file from Dropbox SDK v3.0.

Steini1980 · Jul 4, 2014

Yes, I forgot to upgrade the dropbox-sync-sdk-android.jar file too.

After Upgrading I get next error:

First installation and usage of Dropbox Sync was so easy, I can't understand why does the upgrade makes so much trouble...

Erel · Jul 6, 2014

See the resource file section in the first post.

I can't understand why does the upgrade makes so much trouble

I agree. This issue happens because of a bug in Dropbox library.

Steini1980 · Jul 7, 2014

Meanwhile I updated to B4A V3.80, copied the Projektsource to local HDD Volume (instead of Network ressource) and created the resourcefile as described, but I get the same error.

Erel · Jul 7, 2014

Have you set the file to be read-only?

Steini1980 · Jul 8, 2014

Yes, the file is set to read-only

Erel · Jul 8, 2014

If you like you can send me the complete project by mail (erel@basic4ppc.com) and I'll check it.
