Dear Friends,

Is there a way to setup the minimum. requirements of apk to 4.1android version in the panel settings??? because in the preferences we go to 2.2 ver. to 3.0 ..... is it a way to change this values?? I need it because i can't use the bluestack emulator....

Thank a lot,

There is a "minimum Android version" selector in the Android pane of the standalone settings.

Hi Jacqueline,

yes i know.....but the last version of android is 3.0..... is there a way to update to 4.0-4.1 version?? Because the New Emulator bluestacks cause me problems....Have any ideas?? thanks a lot...

The Android SDK should update to include version 4.x. It's on my machine. When I launch the SDK it checks for new files and tells me if newer ones are available. Doesn't it do that for you?

Dear Jaqueline,

i have have already updated to 4.1 sdk...but in the Livecode popup menu the version appear max to 3.0 android.....Does Livecode Update itself The Version ???or better Does the livecode team change or update the version to 4.1 oro not???

Thanks a lot!!!

I understand now. The popup menu in standalone settings is the minimum required version. Higher versions will still work. You can leave it set to 3.0 and anyone who has 3.0 or 4.0 can run it. If you leave it set to 2.2, almost all Android users can run it.

Edited: Do you mean you do not want anyone with 3.0 to use your app? Is there a reason to restrict it? Not many Android users have 4.0 yet. I think you can edit the manifest if you really do want to restrict it.

Dear Jaqueline,

I have tryed all version to run the "bluestacks" emulator.....but nothing works here.... i don't know....but i have tryed to compile for all version in livecode...from 2.2 to 3.0 but my app in the bluestacks emulator don't work...I have also making a new keytool for the keystore...but nothing works....any ideas?? Thanks a lot...

Sorry, I don't know. I don't use bluestacks. It doesn't seem right that it would require Android 4.1 though.

But you can try editing the manifest in the apk. The apk file is just a zip file, so change the extension to ".zip" and unzip it. In the manifest file, change the required version to 4.1. Save the file, zip the folder again, and set the extension back to "apk". Then see if it works in bluestacks.

I Thank you very much jaqueline..... i ll try as soon as possible and i will tell you about this experiment...thanks...Lestroso

I just thought of something. Android 4.1 is Jelly Bean, right? LiveCode isn't compatible with Jelly Bean yet. So even if you do get it working with bluestacks, your app probably won't run. You should be able to build for 4.0 though.

Dear Jaqueline,

I'm so Sorry, i have made a big mistake....i have found the problem why my app android.that..didn't go in bluestacks android emulator.

I have miss to make the second step when i was making my app with revolution....

1) first you have to create your keystore with keytool.

2) you have to validate your app with jarsign!!(that i have missed).

I'm sorry again, thank you a lot jaqueline...

Best regards,

I'm glad you figured it out. I didn't think of that. Good work!
