Grey Test Button

Post by mobielzone » Tue Sep 27, 2011 9:59 am

Hi,

I'm new here so please forgive me if this is a stupid question...
I use the Trail Version 4.6.4 and planning to buy the Gold Bundle if we like LC

My problem is that I don't get the Test Button to work, it is always grey and I did all the things I must do (I Think :? )
I did install the Android SDK and JDK 7 for Windows.

What I do wrong?

and BTW I have the same problem on my MacBook

Thanks!

Be sure you have set the Android options in the Standalone Settings (in the File menu.) If those are not selected then it won't build for Android.

After that, use the "Test Target" menu item in the IDE Development menu to choose the emulator as the target.

Once both these things are selected, the Test button should activate.

Thanks for the help!

I did a complete new install on my Windows desktop and now it is working. I did also a new install on my MAC and that was not working, then I found this post: http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php? ... yo+#p41600 and did these steps:
1) Open up the folder where you have installed the android SDK
2) In there should be a sub folder named platforms and a sub folder named
platform-tools. Within the platforms folder should be a folder named android-8.
Create a new folder in the android-8 folder and name it "tools".
3) Copy the contents of the platform-tools folder (located at the base of the sdk,
next to the platforms folder) into the newly created tools folder.

Then I got this error message: There was an error while saving the standalone application could not encode the class bundle.
I found this to solve this error: "I went to the Android3->Tools folder. Copied the DX file out of there and placed it in the Android8->tools folder".

and now it is working on my MAC also.

Thanks!
