AppCompay Lib v4.0

Latest Version 4.0

V4.00
  • Change: Compiled against 28.0.0 Support library
  • New: Styles for most Views

Ohh... should be 4.0 then


Ok. Let´s start again fresh:

- You are using the B4A SDK Manager?
- All Items are UpToDate?
- You are using Android.jar from platform 28? Tools->Configure paths

B4A SDK Manager - Yes
All Items are UpToDate? - Yes, this moring
You are using Android.jar from platform 28? Tools->Configure paths - Yes

I will put back lib 4.0, the error I am getting, what is it referring too, the appcompat lib, or my configuration ? It would be useful to know this.

Honestly i´m not sure actually. I would guess your configuration.

- Please post a Screenshot from your SDK Manager main window (to see the path to the bat file)
- Please post a screenshot from Tools Configure paths to see the path of the Android.jar

Or just post the full path of both: bat file in SDK Manager and android.jar in tools configure paths

This are my two
- D:\AndroidSDK\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat
- D:\AndroidSDK\platforms\android-28\android.jar

Please note that the base path should be identic:
Base in this case: D:\AndroidSDK

If it still does not work you can also try this tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ready-to-run-sdk.99780/
I did not used it though.

I´m a bit lost if it still does not work

Last note: Make sure not to reuse an old sdk folder.
Start with a blank folder, download the zip and extract the tools folder to the empty folder...
