Android Question Solved: Maven artifact not found: com.android.support/support-v4

[dagnabitboy]

I've spent the last two days reading through a number of threads on this. I've reinstalled B4a, reinstalled all the recommended SDK items using the SDK manager. I've added
- Android Support Repository
- Android Support Library (could not install, not shown on sdk manager)
- Google Play Services
- Google Repository
and I've installed android-support-v4.jar in the extra libraries folder.
(this is all for the runtimepermissions lib)

What am I missing?

Hello @dagnabitboy,
Have you followed these instruction exactly https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html#installation and also installed Intel HAXM? Have you also installed all the recommended components in the B4A SDK Manager including 'com.android.support:support-v4'.

Also double check that the path in the B4A SDK Manager is set to the new SDK and not the old SDK.

I presume that you are using B4A V7.8...

Thanks for your help Peter, I often miss the obvious, but I'm stumped at the moment!

Intel HAXM: YES
COM.ANDROID.SUPPORT:SUPPORT-V4: YES
installation as per instructions.
path set to new sdk location.
latest javac.exe installed (jdk1.8.0_152) and path set
path to android.jar (android-27) set.
B4a Version 7.8

also rebooted computer (win10 pro 64 bit).
Still no joy!!

Have you installed 'Android Support Repository' in B4A SDK Manager?

I'm just double checking, it's really easy to miss.

 

[dagnabitboy]

Yes! ver 47.0.0 installed!

Peter, thanks for asking me to double check. Took a break, came back, Problem solved... I knew it had to be something simple. Somehow the android sdk ver 27 got installed at: C:\Users\User1\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-27. Once I pointed the system to C:\android\platforms\android-27 everything worked. I have no idea how the sdk got installed in my user folder. I guess I wasn't paying attention!
