I worked all day yesterday till midnight trying to compile an Android file. I made significant progress, but for the last 6 hours I cannot get past the attached error message.

I went through the LC lesson on Adaptive at least a dozen times.

I went through the LC lesson on getting the proper Java 8 software multiple times times.

I YouTube till I could not find anything remaining.

I have tried countless trail and error approaches without success.

When I run "my application" file in Android Studio and compile it to the emulator, the adaptive icon appears perfect.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

David

You're almost there, since you've got a valid res folder with all the data. Follow the path in the error message to locate that res folder and copy it. Paste the whole folder into a place where you have permissions,, I usually put it in the same folder with my mainstack. Then change the LC standalone settings to point to the res folder and it should work.

Jacque,

I did just what you said, but still get same error.

I have Android Studio:
Android Studio Jellyfish | 2023.3.1 Patch 1
Build #AI-233.14808.21.2331.11842104, built on May 14, 2024

What version Android Studio are you using?

Thanks,

See attached jpg for Gradle settings. That might be part of my problem, but I cannot make it run any other way.

I have now got LC making API 33 with Adaptive icons, even if Android Studio will not run emulator.

I've never tried to run Studio in any of its native capacity, my only use for it was to create the adaptive icon. In fact, other than that, I have no idea how Studio works. I went straight to the icon settings and used the res folder it created. That worked with LC, which was my only goal. I'd ditch Studio entirely if there was a web site that created adaptive icons. There may be now, it's been a while since I looked.

Unless I misunderstood, it looks like you have an icon that works with LC now, right?

Yes, everything is good now.

I didn't realize that when the Android Studio would run properly with JRB-17 for the gradle, the RES folder it produced could not be read properly by LC .

But when I used JDK 1.8 for the gradle, Android Studio could not compile the sample project or run the emulator. But, I could make my adaptive icon (even though the project had crashed) AND I could copy it to stack directory AND LC COULD find the proper files that were generated in the RES folder AND compile and make .aab and .apk files.

Then when I change the gradle back to JRB-17 for the gradle I can open the emulator and LC finds it and uses it to test the LC stack.

Thank you for your help,

David
