Building for andriod [solved]

[TheHistoricApple]

So recently I've been trying to build for android. However i cannot build the apk using the android wiki, i heard the current sdk tools is not compatible with the method used, which sdk version would i use?


edit: The error occurs when using

Code: Select all

ant debug

it says that the sdk directory doesn't have the build.xml



edit2: i got the apk to build and run, however im trying to use https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=82166 to put ads on (this is the repo i used to build the apk) my problem is when i use

Code: Select all

love.system.createBanner()

or any of the functions provided it doesn't work?

This also occurs for me...
The project recently switched from ant to gradle but not all docs are updated....
Try reverting to commit c025e5e with:

Code: Select all

git checkout c025e5e

Then run ndk-build and then finally ant debug

where exactly do i run

Code: Select all

git checkout c025e5e

?

doing so in the love repo results in

Code: Select all

C:\loveandroid>git checkout c025e5e
'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

You need to install git and add it to your path (which may already be done for you depending on the install; before running the last step open try running `git` on the command line to see if it works)

so i cloned the repo using git used

Code: Select all

git checkout c025e5e

Which worked.
Then i used

Code: Select all

ndk-build

which worked (im using version r9d)
then i went to use

Code: Select all

ant debug

and got the same error i've been getting

Code: Select all

C:\love-android-sdl2>ant debug
Buildfile: C:\love-android-sdl2\build.xml

BUILD FAILED
C:\love-android-sdl2\build.xml:91: Cannot find C:\Users\Jma227\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\ant\build.xml imported from C:\love-android-sdl2\build.xml

Total time: 0 seconds

i don't understand what i did wrong.


edit:

i just found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/429 ... -remove-it

ganna try it and see if it works


edit2: following the download link from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/429 ... -remove-it downloaded the sdk tools before they removed the ant scripts, then i replaced the tools folder in my sdk dir with the one from the download and it worked perfectly!
