Android Question Optimized dexer no longer works after updating SDK

[NeoTechni]

I know it's not your fault cause the update moved zipalign.exe too...
Where do I find the dexer and where do I put it back?

 

[KMatle]

With an update of the sdk zipalign.exe has moved. Search for it from the main folder an copy it back to the folder b4a is lookong for.

If you are using B4A v3.82 then it should work properly with the latest SDK.

After upgrading to sdk 21 I have problems adding zip or apk files to files tab, I get "Packaging files" error. Maybe other types too, or size problem.

 

[Erel]

Can you post the full error message?

It happens only when there is a specific file in the Files tab?

I added a jpg file and it works. Then I added a zip file or an apk file and it got stuck.
I added another jpg or png - it works.
Removed all code and libraries - still the same.
I tried adding small files - still the same.
I'll continue checking.

edit: took a perfect app that ran like charm a minute ago, added an apk file of 251 k and it gets the error.
Debug or release - the same.
Android.jar 16 or 21 - the same.
Re-installed b4a 3.82 - the same.

Add txt file - ok. exe - no. doc - no.
wav - ok, xls - ok !
htm - ok.
xml - no.
ini - ok.
ico , dat - no.

In the past there was an issue with files larger than 1mb. The workaround was to change their extension to jpg.

I tried adding small files - still the same.

This workaround works. I changed the extension of apk to jpg and it didn't get stuck.
Working but not always, my original problem which involved two big files is the same even after changing them to jpg.

Went back to android before the change to 21, everything works well.

Upgraded android with sdk 21, zipalign from 19 was not deleted. Copied zipalign from 21 and it also works.
I don't know what happened but now everything works (like many other cases in software)...
