#3 Building APK on Java 1.8 / sdk 25

[Joao Paulo Schwarz Schuler]

Hello,
First of all, deep congrats for the project.

I'm able to compile the example and build its APK with attached build script with java 1.8 and sdk 25 (pretty recent).

The problem I face is: the APK misses manifest file and isn't considered valid when installing on Android. I attached my script in the home someone figures what is wrong with it.

May the force be with you and have fun,
JP.

Decided to paste the content of the file here to make it simpler to read:

REM Run this file as administrator. If running from command line, run "cmd" as administrator.
REM Adjust these paths to yours
SET PATH=C:\Android\sdk\tools;C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools\;C:\Android\sdk\build-tools\25.0.2\;"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102\bin\"
SET APP_NAME=androidlcltest
SET ANDROID_HOME=C:\Android\sdk\
SET BUILD_TOOLS_LIB=C:\Android\sdk\build-tools\25.0.2\lib\
SET APK_SDK_PLATFORM=C:\Android\sdk\platforms\android-25
SET APK_PROJECT_PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\laz4android\examples\androidlcl\android"
PATH
pause
REM Create necessary directory Structure
mkdir bin
mkdir bin\classes
mkdir gen
mkdir gen\com
mkdir gen\com\pascal
mkdir gen\com\pascal\lcltest
mkdir raw
mkdir raw\lib
mkdir raw\lib\armeabi

REM Cleanup
del bin\%APP_NAME%.ap_
del bin\%APP_NAME%.apk
del raw\lib\armeabi\*.so

REM More directory preparation
copy libs\armeabi\*.so raw\lib\armeabi\

REM Resource compilation
call aapt p -v -f -M AndroidManifest.xml -F bin\%APP_NAME%.ap_ -I %APK_SDK_PLATFORM%\android.jar -S res -m -J gen raw
pause

REM Java compiler
call javac -source 1.6 -target 1.6 -verbose -encoding UTF8 -classpath %APK_SDK_PLATFORM%\android.jar -d bin\classes src\com\pascal\lcltest\LCLActivity.java
pause

REM Convert the java bytecode to dalvik bytecode
::REM For older SDKs: call dx --dex --verbose --output=%APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\classes.dex %APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\classes
call java -Djava.ext.dirs=%BUILD_TOOLS_LIB% -jar %BUILD_TOOLS_LIB%\dx.jar --dex --verbose --output=%APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\classes.dex %APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\classes
pause

REM It seams that dx calls echo off
@echo on
REM Now build the unsigned APK
del %APK_PROJECT_PATH%\bin\%APP_NAME%-unsigned.apk
aapt add bin\%APP_NAME%-unsigned.apk bin\%APP_NAME%.ap_ bin\classes.dex
pause

REM If you dont have a key, create one with:
REM keytool -genkey -v -keystore bin\LCLDebugKey.keystore -alias LCLDebugKey -keyalg RSA -validity 10000
pause

REM Signing the APK with a debug key
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore bin\LCLDebugKey.keystore -keypass senhas -storepass senhas -signedjar bin\%APP_NAME%-unaligned.apk bin\%APP_NAME%-unsigned.apk LCLDebugKey
pause

REM Align the final APK package
zipalign -v 4 bin\%APP_NAME%-unaligned.apk bin\%APP_NAME%.apk
REM FINISHED - If all good, your APK file should be here: bin\%APP_NAME%.apk

Hi,
I finally have been able to build the APK. Please find attachment.

I'm able to run in Android 4 but I'm not able to run on Android 7.

Kind regards,
JP.
