LC building .apk but simulator not working.

[paul_gr]

Hi all,
Long time LC user but mobile newbie.
Problem is trying to get the LC test button active.
Full commercial version of LC 6.0 installed on Windows 7 64 bit.

LC is compiling an LC project into an Android .apk file, but I can't see what it looks like in the simulator because the test button is greyed out.

So far...
Installed the Android SDK/VDM and can make AVD's ok.
"C:\Program Files\Android\SDK" is the SDK path.
In LC mobile support, have setup the path to the sdk correctly.
LC can see the JDK Path is "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_43

Seems strange that LC is compiling the .apk but won't let me run the simulator.

Grateful for any advice before I start banging my head on the desk

cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,
This might be dumb of me, your description sounds ok but you left out one step and that is to launch an AVDM profile. You know have the simulator running before trying to test, you don't have to do that for iOS.

Don't know if thats any help.

Thanks Simon,
I've got the profile running ok, so it isn't that. I really haven't got a clue why the test button is greyed out.

Maybe it's a problem with 64 bit?
I have Win 7 but the install is at C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk and (x86)...Java
I'm running the sim fine here.

Thanks Simon,
Sounds like a good idea; I'll reinstall as 32bit and see what happens.

Still no luck; LC 6.0 can build the .apk but no access to LC test button.
I followed the LC Android release notes for the setup.
I'll drop back to LC 5.4.4 and try again; this time will remove any traces of previous LC installs.

Update 1::
that didn't work either, same result.

Update 2::
Had to go through Development >> test Target. Then the button woke up and became active.

Hi Paul,
I've got 4.6x, 5.5.x and 6.0 LC on my machine. I think I used 5.5.3 when I installed the mobile stuff. Of course that doesn't really help you except as a data point.
I have jdk1.6.0_38, can't find which Android sdk I installed.

Hi Simon,
See my last update on previous post, working ok now.
I appreciate your help with this.
Using the latest Android SDK:: adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219.zip
and the JDK installed is jdk1.7.0_17

cheers
Paul
