Android Question Strange compiler error

[grafsoft]

Hi,

I get this:

"
Parsing code. 0.45
Compiling code. Error
An error occurred while loading the DynamicSyntaxLanguage '{Unknown}':
The tag '{root}' may not be parent to a 'LanguageDefinition' tag.
The problem occurred near line 3, position 2
in Unknown Stream.
"

The word "LanguageDefinition" does not appear in my code or in the libs I use.

I do not even know how to give further information.

Thanks

Peter

Better give more details, B4A version?, Code sample?

 

[grafsoft]

Newest B4A. The code is quite large.

I think I wwill do some checks first. It runs on one machine, but not on the other. Currently I am installing newest versions with the SDK manager. Maybe this helps.

It seems like it fails to load the manifest editor language file. What happens when you open the manifest editor?

Hi,
I had same error but after checking, found out that the new exe name is B4A.exe whereas I was accessing through old exe Basic4Android.exe. When I started with new exe and opened the project it opened.
After it compiled, installed and ran the app as well.

I too have had this error.
I upgraded to version 5.2 (also upgraded javac.exe and android.jar) but found it too slow on my system.
I reverted to 3.82 and started having issues. (apart from the warning that the code comes from a later version- that is not an issue).

I did have it running OK, but today I keep getting the error listed below.

The error also appears when attempting to open the Manifest Editor.

The error that appears when compiling is this :-

"Parsing code. 7.61
Compiling code. Error
An error occurred while loading the DynamicSyntaxLanguage '{Unknown}':
The tag '{root}' may not be parent to a 'LanguageDefinition' tag.
The problem occurred near line 3, position 2 in Unknown Stream."


My system is using :-
Basic 4 Android 3.82
Javac.exe jdk1.8.0_60
android.jar Android 18

I don't have compilation errors, but after installing the new version I need to run B4A from Start Menu and then open projects, if I double click on a .b4a file, B4A crashes upon startup. If I right click on a project file, and go 'Open With' I can see that there are still two separate versions of B4A that Windows is trying to use, and unless I make it choose the new version, crashes occur.
I really like the atest version by the way Erel, great job.

I thought my system did the same, but when I checked it seems to have errors on opening by either method. The errors occur on opening the manifest editor or during compiling.
I got around it once and had it running as it used to, so I think I'll need to do some more experimenting to solve this.

I agree that version 5.2 is really nice but it runs so slow on my windows XP dinosaur PC that I had to revert to 3.82.
I cannot upgrade the PC as it is an office one that was going spare and I cant see my firm replacing it.

Set the new version as the default app that opens the B4A files.

Thanks Erel.
In the end I had to reinstall B4A 3.82.0.0.
All OK now.
