LiveCode Forums.

From sometime in April until sometime in May I was working on an app on a windows 7 computer. I had set up the Android SDK and Java stuff and could build the apk file and install it on my Android phone. The simulator sort of worked but I found it much easier to test on the phone. The last time I built the standalone app for Android was May 24th.
At that point I set up everything on a MacBook pro and started working with the ios and testing the app on my iPhone as well as the simulator (which worked much better than the Android simulator). Now that I have the app pretty much worked out I have tried to build it for android. I never got the android stuff to work on the Mac so I tried the windows 7 machine.
When I "Save as Standalone Application" everything looks like it works (except I am not asked for my key chain password). I get no errors and it finishes in about a second with the message " Stand alone app saved successfully". No .apk file can be found anywhere.
Did something happen between May 24 and now?

By chance did you happen to update your android sdk to r23 on your win7 machine? If so, see this thread:

In any case, have you rechecked your "mobile preferences" on your win7 machine to ensure that the android settings are still there?

I had the problem before I updated to r23. I updated and have put the zipalign file into the tools directory.
I still get the "not a valid SDK folder" message. Both on my windows 7 machine and my mac book pro.

I am at a loss. should I go back to an older version of LC? I am using 6.6.1 on both computers.

rI completely reinstalled JDK and SDK's . I put the zipfile utility into the tools directory and now I no longer get the "Not a valid android SDK folder" message.
I can test the app on the Android emulator but when I connect the phone to the computer it does not show up in the test platform list. Also when I build for standalone I get no error messages, the process takes less than a second and I get the message "Standalone application saved successfully". The directory where the standalone is to be stored contains a new empty folder with no .apk file.
Making progress but I don't know where to go from here. I am using LC version 6.6.1. which before May 24 all was working fine. I am going to try to reinstall LiveCode as that is the only thing I haven't reinstalled.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
