Unable to build app for testing

Post by Dulce Russo » Thu Mar 13, 2014 8:09 am

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.. you'll see.. I've had problems with compiling on Android. Whenever I want to test my application I get this "Unable to build app for testing: could not compile application class"

What I don't understand is what have I done wrong.. I already have the sdk and jdk installed.. I managed to launch an emulated android device and also I compile android apps sucessfully on Eclipse. So.. Does anyone know if Eclipse has any conflict with LiveCode as to its sdk manager? I really need to compile on android..

Hi Dulce,
Try setting the Identifier to "com.yourcompany.yourapp" in your standalone application settings.
Hyphens and ampersand (-, &) are not allowed.

Thank you for your answer and your welcome :D . However I managed to solve my problem differently. Somehow I had many versions of jdk installed on my computer... I had to remove them all and re-install only one jdk. I don't know how I had two versions of jdk installed and jre installed as well when I think with jdk is enough and I shouldn't have jre installed. I'm putting this just if someone else is having the same problem.
