Hi Deva,

Welcome to the forum.

For Android Development you need to install either Android Studio or just the Android SDK tools.

Unfortunately, the newest versions of both the Android Studio and the SDK tools do not work with LiveCode.

On the good news:

- We will fix this problem shortly.
- You can still use an older version of the SDK tools, which do work as expected. Just follow the instructions of this lesson:

http://lessons.livecode.com/s/lessons/m ... er-on-a-pc

The older versions of Android SDK tools are a bit difficult to be found, but you should be able to download them directly using those links:

(here XX is the version number, e.g. 23 should be fine)

http://dl.google.com/android/repository ... ux_x86.zip
http://dl.google.com/android/repository ... indows.zip
http://dl.google.com/android/repository ... macosx.zip

Since you are developing on Windows, use this link:

http://dl.google.com/android/repository ... indows.zip

Moreover, you can track the progress on making the newest Android Studio to work with LiveCode in this bug report:

Hi! LiveCode_Panos, Klaus

Thank you for the link you send me. This give me some idea how the livecode and android installation works on windows.

As suggested by panos, i did try install the old version of Android SDK but have problem during install the package
with error message "Package android tv intel x86 atom system image. android API 25, revision 3' depends on missing sdk platform android, API 25"

How to install the missing SDK platform android, API 25?

Thanks.

Hi Deva,

You can install additional packages using the SDK Manager:

Inside the sdk/tools/lib folder you will find the files "AVD Manager.exe" and "SDK Manager.exe". Copy these files and place them in the sdk folder.

So then launch the Android SDK Manager and select the packages you would like to install in your Android development environment.

Note that LiveCode requires the Android 4.0.3 (API 15) Package to be installed. Select Android 4.0.3 (API 15) in the list and click the Install button to install the package.

Best,
Panos

Hi! Panos,

I did run the sdk manager and selected the android 4.0.3 to install the package but when i click install it goes to another dialog box to asking me to agree on the android license after selected agree the install button still disable.


Description or message saying:
"Package android tv intel x86 atom system image. android API 25, revision 3' depends on missing sdk platform android, API 25

Hi Deva,

If the "Install" button is still disabled, it means that there are more licenses you have to "Accept".

Once you accept all licenses, you should see **only** green ticks in the left pane (and not red Xs).

See screenshots:

Not accepted all licenses: After accepting all licenses: Hope this helps,

Hi! Panos,

Thanks for reply so quickly, apperciate it..
Yes, i did run the SDK Manager and agree all the license but it still not install with
grey colour [install] button disable.

as for now im still using LVC 8.1.3 with Android SDK R23 (I uninstall android 2.3.1)

any help or suggestion is appreciate ..

The last line (in the actual app window, not the list field) shows an error which is why the button is disabled. Deselect the Android TV Intel x86 Atom System Image and see if it lets you install then.

Thank you such a lot for this: this explains
why I made such a bosh trying to set up for Android a few weeks ago.

hm, sure there is no other "mouseup" handler somewhere on your card?
Maybe a group or the card script or the stack script?
Otherwise this should not happen.
