Android Question Java Compile error

[DavidTheGeek]

Hello

I have returned to B4A after a gap of about a year, and called up a project which previously worked. Now I can't get it to build. It faisl with this error:

Compiling debugger engine code. (4.48s)
Compiling generated Java code. Error
gen\ubr\stockchecker\R.java:462: error: ';' expected
public static final int foreground _ Copy=0x7f090002;
^
1 error

javac 11.0.1


I tried on a fresh install and got the same issue:

Compiling debugger engine code. (6.66s)
Compiling generated Java code. Error
gen\ubr\stockchecker\R.java:266: error: ';' expected
public static final int foreground _ Copy=0x7f080002;
^
1 error
only showing the first 1 errors, of 2 total; use -Xmaxerrs if you would like to see more

javac 22

Is there something I should have changed?

My friend 'CoPilot' says you have a space in the variable name.
foreground _ Copy = foreground_[SPACE]Copy

foreground _ Copy = foreground_[SPACE]Copy

Yes, that's true. Clever co-pilot. The thing is I haven't created a variable with such a name...

Maybe there's a typo in a Library you are using.

 

[DonManfred]

foreground _ Copy = foreground_[SPACE]Copy

foreground _ Copy = foreground[SPACE]_[SPACE]Copy

Good eyes Don

maybe the underlying SDK. It has changed some months ago.

Delete B4A AND the sdk.
Install them new based on the installationinstructions.

Thanks, but I did that about an hour ago on a new machine when the error occurred on the old one.

I found reference to a png called foreground[space]-[space]copy. I'll chase that down.

Thank you both for the speedy help!

So then I go a lot more errors....I decided to start a new project, and now the error is
