Have you worked through this lesson?

Where do you get stuck? What error messages do you see, if any?

Hi,
Make sure you have shown LiveCode where the SDK is through Preferences > Mobile Support and then choose the Andorid SDK path.

If not, Make sure you have the Java runtime environment and the java development kit installed.

Read through the How to install Android SDK on Mac, but still having problems with finding the SDK when I open live code and under preferences try to choose the location of the SDK. Can't seem to find it. I Get an error stating, " The chosen folder is not a valid Android SDK. Please ensure you have installed it correctly, and enabled support for Android 2.2 (Froyo)."
Not sure how to get this installed so that live code can find it. Thanks!
Matt

Not sure on a Mac, but on Win you have to select the whole android-sdk folder do not open it.

Just checking, you have enabled support for Android 2.2?

If you haven't, to enable it all you need to do is open the android SDK, check the versions of android you want to use (and include Android 2.2) then click install.

I'm having the same issue. I've been thru the lesson material (which does not match the current SDK interface) and installed everything possible from the SDK. The emulator works. Everything appears ok except the Preferences screen rejects every path a supply. What is it looking for?

The path the preferences screen is looking for is the main folder to the whole SDK bundle. For me (on 32-bit Windows 7) that would be "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219". If your bundle came in a zipped folder remember to unzip it first.
