Android Question Packaging File Error

[Merco]

Hi,
I am trying trial version of B4A. But just keep getting "Packaging files. Error" message when I try to run app. Tried to use older SDK build tools, Preview build tools, etc. but no result.
What could be the problem?

Thx
Merco

Can you post the compilation window text?

Can you post the compilation window text?

I've tried examples, this is from "MyFirstProgram", but identical for several other examples I've tried to run:

B4A version: 7.00
Parsing code. (0.00s)
Compiling code. (0.15s)
Compiling layouts code. (0.09s)
Organizing libraries. (0.00s)
Generating R file. (2.91s)
Compiling generated Java code. (4.02s)
Convert byte code - optimized dex. (0.89s)
Packaging files. Error
NOTE: nothing to do

Please install the latest SDK and recommended items: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/80090/#content

Make sure to configure the IDE to use the new SDK (Tools - Configure Paths).

Thank you for the prompt response, Erel !

I did everything described in your link - latest SDK, made C:\android-sdk, put tools there, donwloaded JAR tool. The JAR tool started and it has installed items I selected, log below. The only problem is when I go to "C:\android-sdk" there are no new installed folders, except "tools"! Where did it install them?

Hi Erel,

I just made it work, on another computer. Using the above procedure, JAR tool installed all files in c:android-sdk, compiled in B4A and run over Bridge on my Noughat phone, no problems.

What is not clear to me is why jar tool wasnt able to install sdks on that another computer. Could it be anti-virus sandboxing the tool or something similar?

Thanks
Merco

Based on the output it did install everything properly under C:\android-sdk. Are you sure that you are checking the correct folder?

I checked again in c android-sdk, no new folders that should be there, only "tools". I wanted to run the tool again and repeat the whole process, but the tool says that sdk files are already installed, shows them under "installed" header. Is there any way I could find where is it looking, or reset its values so I can install again. Also, search in windows for i.e. "m2repository" gives nil result.
