Process Complete So, what is the build.xml and why is it obsolete? okay, of to delete it... I moved it (was loathe to delete it) however I've tried the command prompt within the IDE and I cannot build a new xml file. Please help. |

| Delete your build folder build entirely and also make sure you update everything in the SDK manager then try again. |

| Thankyou for the suggestions. I do not have a build folder at the moment - the build.xml file that I have to delete is within the root of the following path:- C:\Program Files\Monkey\MonkeyPro46\bananas\warpy\monkeypuzzle\monkeypuzzle.build\android Aaahh, the monkeypuzzle.build directory, okay. Deleted it, still got this output: Translating monkeypuzzle "C:/Program Files/Monkey/MonkeyPro46/bin/trans_winnt" -target=android -run "C:/Program Files/Monkey/MonkeyPro46/bananas/warpy/monkeypuzzle/monkeypuzzle.monkey" TRANS monkey compiler V1.21 Parsing...

Process Complete Update everything in the SDK manager, okay, update manager is now updating.... Although I'd elected for API14 and API 7 initially, do you only need to install one API? My tablet uses Android 4.0.1 therefore I intended to just install API 14 - which is installed. Now it is installing API 15 which I have no hardware for at the moment. I suppose my question is will the build.xml fail due to not having a specifc revision of Android installed - I noticed on another thread for Android support that version 3.2 was compatible. |

| okay, this gives me a clue: http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=1778#16749 I am running the native install of Monkey @version... the About says 0.34 but I thnik that is the IDE version No - i reckon i'm on v46 |
| ||
| okay, now running v51, I believe I need to change a TARGET somewhere now: But it appears to have built - I'll try copying the executable to my Android phone.....

| Hi, > C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:440: Unable to resolve target 'android-13' This means you don't have the correct SDK installed. You'll need to install at least the "Android 3.2 (API 13) SDK Platform" from the SDK manager. |

| Thanks Mark, I'd just been digging through the threads and had found the following WordPress Site as well that I may have a look at later: https://wiebo.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/how-to-monkey-and-android-development-setup/ Popping into the SDK manager now ;) |

| So close now - I reckon I might be able to copy the file onto my phone/tablet, or kick start and Android Emulator - what will be fastest.....

Tried building the mirrortransform, which built successfully. I have my first .apk file ! And its running in the Emulator - Bonza!!!! |
| ||
| Congrats! Its always good when you get something working after fighting with it! |
| ||
| @MonkeyPlotter: If that's all working, you should just be able to plug your device into the PC's USB port to automatically build and run without needing an emulator. |
| ||
| @therevills - thanks, it was sweet to see that example running in the emulator after a little configuration. Now to master sleep deprivation a bit better - theres just not enough hours in the day ;) @DruggedBunny - thanks for the tip, I'll give it a whirl. It seems it cannot locate my tablet: [quote]install: Installing C:\Program Files\Monkey\MonkeyPro51\bananas\Richard_Betson\mirror_fx_transform\mirror_fx_transform.build\android\bin\MonkeyGame-debug.apk onto default emulator or device...

Process Complete[\quote] Any hints on how to make it realise 'where' it is? Its running Android 4.0.1 and has USB Debugging enabled and allow mock location enbled Pleased to report Emulator still works fine ;) |
| ||
| Okay, I don't have an SD card on my phone - yet. Was able to navigate to the folders on my phone but was not sure where to deposit the .apk file without an SD card to put it on, in order for the appinstaller to find the apk file. However used the following website to get my executable onto my Android phone - please to report - Mirror Transform is running on my phone ;) http://www.apkinstall.com/ I needed google goggles also to use the above site. Still need to fathom why Monkey can't 'see' my phone/tablet after building. There'll be some config thing or other I've missed no doubt. |
| ||
| Any hints on how to make it realise 'where' it is? Have you installed USB drivers for your device? I believe you specifically need an ADB driver (not just storage device drivers) and that these are specific to each phone, so you might have to track it down. You shouldn't have to manually copy projects over to get them to run. With my phone plugged into the PC, it shows up in the Windows Device Manager as "ADB Interface" -> "ZTE Composite ADB Interface". |
| ||
| Thanks for the tip - will try it out later today. |
| ||
| Hmm, giving up for now trying to find an ADB driver for my paladin - this was the closest I could find:- http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/news-rumors/3721-first-ics-tablet-6.html |
| ||
| What's the exact model? They must be out there... done a bit of googling but there's a little confusion betwee the Novo models, which I believe the Paladin is. |
| ||
| It is an ainol novo 7 paladin, the other 'solutions' were to install pda net, which failed with a 103,104 error. Another site suggested easy tether to obtain the necessary adb - android marketplace states incompatible with my tablet which is running ics 4.01. Was tempted to install 4.03, but then stories of novo s becoming bricks. Even installed an lg android driver on my w7 box in desperation. I am sure there will be a adb file for my tablet in time, but my digging also revealed its running a mips core instead of an arm based cpu which is beset by incompatibilities compared to the masses. Watching green day on telly now. |
| ||
| Got my first monkey example compiled and running in an emulator a few posts up. Will start a new thread on the way to get an adb file on a cheap tablet. |
