Android Question error in SLC generated library, "missing metadata"

[leitor79]

Hello,

I've made a custom library with notepad and SLC. It compiles right and I can use the functions I have there, but one of them gives me an exception within the java code:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: missing metadata: /com/google/i18n/phonenumbers/data/PhoneNumberMetadataProto_US

I have checked and this file is located in a subfolder of the java library:

I don't know if these files should be in the data/data app folder once the app is installed, but they aren't. I don't see SLC processing them (i don't know if they should be). This are my slc layou, my slc log and my .java class header (should I add some tag?)

Thank you very much!

Try removing com.google from ignore list .
That does not seem to work sorry .

 

[somed3v3loper]

I tried depending on the attached .jar and with ignore field blank and it worked without any problems.

 

[leitor79]

Hi somed3v3loper, thank you for your answer!

if with "tried depending on" you meant adding a @DependsOn clause in the java file, I get the following error when b4a compiles the app:

Convert byte code - optimized dex. Error
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: Lcom/google/i18n/phonenumbers/MetadataLoader;

If I remove the @DependsOn clause and all the source files of the libphonenumber and use the jar file in the lib folder (thing I've tried with libphonenumber-7.3.2, and tried again with your 7.0 jar), I get almost the same error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: missing metadata: PhoneNumberMetadataProto_US

Note that this error does not have the previous error path (/com/google/i18n/phonenumbers/data), just the file name. Just in case, I've tried manually adding the file into the project, but I get the same error.

Thank you for your help!

already added: Lcom/google/i18n/phonenumbers/MetadataLoader;

Add com.google to SLCs b4ignore and compile again

 

[somed3v3loper]

I just used .jar no any other source code

@DependsOn(values=("libphonenumber-7.0"))

And did not ignore any package

 

[DonManfred]

Maybe you already have com.Google on ignore in slc

 

[somed3v3loper]

Maybe you already have com.Google on ignore in slc

It is strange I was sure ignore field is empty and recompiled again and it worked .

 

[leitor79]

Hi Don, hi somed, thank you both for your answers.

I can't get it work with the ignore or not. With the ignored com.google I get the missing metadata error when I run the app, and without the ignore flag on slc I get the "already added" error when refreshing libraries.

I've been trying stuff, like manually adding the file into B4a, so it's copied in the data/data/app/files folder; also I've modified java code of several libraries in order to search for the file there and I still get the missing metadata error (java.lang.IllegalStateException: missing metadata: /data/data/eitor.contactsdemo/files/phonenumbermetadataproto_US, the file was lowercased when b4a copied it into the phone, I've renamed it to match the uppercased US)

ask some questions:

- Could the "already added" error be caused because I have the jar file in the customs library folder? (all the jars there are copied or registered somewhere when I compile the app?)

- The files located in phonenumbers/data folder are supposed to be copied to my phone? where? or they are being integrated into the custom library jar file?

Thank you very much for your help!

Helly everyone,

After a zillion attempts, I've found a solution (I mean, it's working).

I was completely lost (I'm trying stuff since monday), trying everything I've read that could be remotely related to this (or not; I don't know java), and I get it working this way:

- ignores: org,com.android,com.example,com.hoho,com.google
- @DependsOn(values=("libphonenumber-7.3.2"))
- Only libphonenumber-7.3.2.jar in lib folder
- Added "additional" folder and put libphonenumber-7.3.2.pom file there, after unsuccefully putting a lost of stuff (all of the metadata files, por example), after misreading this post and take the .pom file for the .so file it refers to.

I hope it can help others in the future.

Thank you very much for your help!
