Android Development Test Target Blank

Post by dcpbarrington » Mon Jun 24, 2013 9:48 pm

Forum,

I installed Android development on my Windows 7-64 bit LiveCode V5.5.5 IDE a week ago.

Went through all the steps to get the Android Simulator as well as USB connections to an Android V2.2 and Android V4.0.4 devices working.
I was able to create a basic App and started to create a multi-card app to play with the different Android functionality. Worked great for a week.

I then made the mistake of unplugging my Android V2.2 phone and plugging the Android V4.0.2 device into the USB cable while the IDE was running. My entire system went to a crawl and I need to reboot to get things back working.

After that situation I'm no longer able to load my test app into either the device or an Android simulator. This is a simple "Hello World" app.
When you start the stack that is configured for Android, the TEST button is enabled, but when you look at Development -> Test Target it is grayed out and if I select TEST I get the error "Unknown Development Platform"

I've done the following to try to resolve.
> UnInstalled and re-installed Livecode V5.5.5
> UnInstalled and re-installed Android SDK (didn't upgrade to V22, stayed with V20.0.3)
> UnInstalled and re-installed Windows drivers for Android device
> UnInstalled and re-installed the Google USB Driver

I expected that the re-installs would have resolved the issue, but no luck. There must be a cache of data that is not being cleared.
Is there a way to re-set the IDE Development Platform definition?
What do I need to do to get things back working?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hello,

Just a guess, but have you checked your "Mobile" preferences? I have seen a few incidences where the path to the android sdk has been wiped out. Try bringing up your preferences and ensure that the android sdk path is still defined in the 'Mobile' section.

Paul,

Thank you for your reply. The "Mobile" preferences were no longer defined.

I set to Default and then re-selected the location of the Android SDK.

Wow that was easy when you know where to look.

Thanks
