Android Question [Solved]Linking resources Error

[Anser]

Hi,

After a long time, I am trying to recompile one of my existing applications using B4A 11.50.

Whwn I try to comile the B4A application it is showing the following compilation errors. I searched for similar errors reported in this forum, but all of those errors are for the resources inside their respective projects. In my case, as per the error message, the error is from the resources inside the Android SDK path.

Here is the error message

Any help will be appreciated.

In my case, as per the error message, the error is from the resources inside the Android SDK path.

Did you install a new SDK recently (last 6 month) or are you running an old SDK-Installation?
Can you post the SDK Version from the LOG in the SDK-Manager?

If you are running an old SDK. Delete the SDK and install it new based on the instructions here https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html

I installed the new SDK today, both Android and Open JAVA from the above Link

B4A Sdk Manager: 4.00
TempFolder = C:\Users\Anser\AppData\Roaming\ANYWHE~1\BASIC4~1\temp
DataFolder: C:\Users\Anser\AppData\Roaming\B4ASdkManager
SDK version: 6609375
Downloading: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/master-index.xml

Solved the issue

I assume that my mistake was that I extracted the Android command line tools and the resources using the Windows default Zip utility and it did not extract the contents properly.
Now, once again, I deleted all the contents of Android SDK and then used 7zip to extract the Zip files. This resolved the issue.

Thank you all for the support.
