LiveCode Forums.

I have downloaded and installed the Android SDK.

I followed directions at the LiveCode web site at live code resources-guides-mobile-android.
As directed I used SDK manager to download the required Android 2.2 (API8) (SDK platform, Samples for SDK and Google APIs)

But when I try to enter the location of my Android SDK the system tells me that I don't have Android SDK.

What exactly is the system looking for?

What do I need to install (with SDK Manager) to be able to build a stand alone APK that I can run on my phone?

Hi, it is not sufficient to download the Android SDK, you also have to configure Android 2.2. This is what LiveCode requires.

This documentation may help a little: http://livecodeblog.blogspot.sg/2015/09 ... ecode.html

Is this the lesson you followed? http://lessons.livecode.com/m/2571/l/27 ... r-on-a-mac There are similar lessons for Windows and Linux.

You need the 2.2 package, 2.3 package, 4.0.3 package, and it's a good idea to also download at least one of the more recent packages for Android 5 and 6. You also need at least the most recent the build tools (in the Tools folder) but I always just update all of them because I am never sure which one LC is looking for.

If you want to save a little time and disk space, you do not need to download any of the "Samples for SDK" inside each package, or any of the specific unrelated things like Android Wear or Google Glass. I don't always download the system images either, and haven't had much trouble, but others have said they couldn't build without some of them. I'm not sure which ones are required.

When you set the path in LiveCode to the SDK, it should point to the main enclosing folder. On my Mac, that folder is called "android-sdk-macosx".
