LiveCode Forums.

Hi,

A bit frustrated. Got a new laptop and installed Livecode, but been struggling to get it to work to build a standalone Android App

Current setup:
Windows 10 x64
LiveCode Community 9.0.3
Java 8 build 1.8.0_201-b09
Android Studio 3.3.2

Livecode Mobile Support for Android SDK and Java SDK is configured
Almost have all the APIs in Android Studio installed.

Error:
When creation standalone application I get the following error:
"There was an error while saving the standalone application- could not encode class bundle"
Could not resolve the issue

So did the following to get more information about the error:
1. Type in the msg box "edit the script of stack revsaveasandroidstandalone"
2. In the script editor window that just opened, search for "Could not encode class bundle"
3. Add "answer the result" just before the "Could not encode class bundle" line.
4. Click apply to (temporarily) save this change
5. Build an android standalone

Then got the error:
"CreateProcess failed:The system cannot find the path specified"

Not sure what to do next, and not sure what path is missing, as I created and "empty" test app, with only one button, to test with.

Help appreciated.

Marra

Hi Marra,
Not sure that help but if you have a closestack message you maybe need using this: Best regards

Hi Jean-Marc,

Thank you for responding, but unfortunately this did not help. Exact same error

Did you also install the latest Build Tools? Those are required.

If you search the forums here for "could not encode class bundle" you'll find more info as well.

Hi Jacque,

Thank you but have those covered
I will go through the forum topics again, just incase I missed something.

What is the JDK path in standalone settings? Is it the same as the one you installed?

Hi Jacque,

I can confirm that it is the same I also reinstalled java just to make sure that all is good. And did a "Reset All Preferences to Defaults" and restarted LiveCode. Setting the location again for Android SDK root, updated the JDK again, which I confirmed is correct.

If you have more than one copy of Java installed, LC or the OS may be using the wrong one regardless of the standalone settings. Someone else had the same problem and resolved it by deleting all other copies of Java.

Hi Jacque,

I uninstalled all previous updates and complete removed Java and install only one version of JDK. Unfortunately the same error.

Maybe a complete clean-up of everything is needed.

Marra

I'm running out of ideas. Could you post a screenshot of the standalone settings Android pane? Maybe I'll see something there.

Hi jacque,

Thank you for your support up to now. I will refresh everything, form scratch and then post the configuration back here once done.

Hi,

So uninstalled all, re-installed and updated settings. Same problem.

Here is the standalone Android settings pane. Regards

The standalone settings look fine. I wonder if the Java version is the cause, this link seems to indicate that Java is the problem:
https://livecode.com/how-to-deploy-apps ... d-devices/

It may be that other Java versions you may have installed aren't completely deleted?

Hi,

LC9 doesn't need the SDK platforms for Android 2.1/ API 7 anymore? Or was it the 2.2/ API 8?

I don't remember exactly why, only that checking both these (besides the required 4.0.3/ API 15 & the real target one) saved my mental sanity some years ago ;-)

Maybe it's worth a try - good luck!

Have fun!

LC says that 2.2 isn't needed any more but like you, I still have it installed from years ago. They've updated the lessons to say you only need 4.0.3, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to install it.
