Android Question Illegal characters in path - fails on 'Compiling resources'

[matt humphreys]

I'm a bit stumped...

B4A Version: 11.80
Parsing code. (0.09s)
Java Version: 11
Building folders structure. (0.02s)
Compiling code. (0.14s)
Compiling layouts code. (0.01s)
Organizing libraries. (0.02s)
(AndroidX SDK)
Compiling resources Error
Illegal characters in path.

I have for paths...
C:\Java\jdk-11.0.1\bin\javac.exe
C:\Android\platforms\android-30\android.jar
C:\mydir\B4a\Libs
<no shared modules>

Platform=Windows 10 Pro
Fresh install of B4A.
Project compiles just fine on W7 machine.
No library errors.

given it seems to indicate a resources issue I downloaded all components again and used 7zip to unpack where appropriate.
I also changed the B4A install to have no spaces but to no avail.
C:\mydir\AnywhereSoftware\B4A\

fails on both Release and Debug compiles.

Any wisdom ?

I downloaded all components again

What exactly do you mean by this?

 

[matt humphreys]

as per Point 2 on Install instructions.
'command line tools' and 'required resources'
making sure the structure is as per Erel's pictorial.

You haven't run SDK Manager have you?

 

[matt humphreys]

I have not run sdk Manager.

Sorry - no further ideas then. I too am using Windows 10 Pro with no problems.

EDIT: Does a blank new project compile OK?

 

[matt humphreys]

didn't think of that...yes it does!
so something in the project then...
gads, that means i have to think.
thanks
