Using LazToApk

TemplateProjectPath=C:\Program Files\laztoapk\TemplateProject\

Your laztoapk installation folder is under C:\Program Files, which contain a space between "Program" and "Files". So far, LazToApk can't work properly if the path contains any space character.

Try to remove all the installation and reinstall again on the root folder C:\

I installed the new version and for the first time

C:\laztoapk\
I tried it.

From the screenshots I can see that your SDK and laz4android paths still point to "Program Files". I recommend to un-install all and then do it again as described in the instruction PDF. Thank you.

Beside what DelphiFreak said, please also make sure you enable the API 16.

On the SDK Manager, enable:
- Android 4.1.2 (API 16) > SDK Platform
- Android 4.1.2 (API 16) > ARM EABI v7a System Image

THE SOLUTION FOR NDK PROBLEMS IS TO KEEP THE installed SDK AND NDK TARGET PLATFORM (DIRs) IDENT.

e.g.

ini

AndroidSDKPath=C:\android\android-sdk-windows\       > ..... platforms\android-21\   must exist ....
AndroidNDKPath=C:\android\android-ndk-r10e\        > ..... platforms\android-21\  must exist....

Hello,

laztoapk scans the NDK folder for the file "libc.so".  Look for method "DetectInstalledNDKPlatforms  http://sourceforge.net/p/laztoapk/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/source/apkmanagermain.pas
After that, laztoapk look's in the SDK folder for if the folder exists and the file "android.jar" is existing.

Hello,

today i tried to get LazToApk working.
Installation and Config went fine.
But the generated APK don't work after instalation.

I am using Windows 7 64Bit

Do you find any Errors?

Thanks
Martin

What error message did you get?

Unfortunately, project1 has stopped.

If you got such message when starting the program and you're running the it on Android 5 or above device, then you should read here:

You may want to try LAMW. It is working good and well supported:

There are many different ways to build Android app using Lazarus/FPC:

Hello dorra,

from the screenshot you posted it looks ok.

My questions:

A) did you run the generated apk-file on a  real device or in the emulator ?
B) did you build the apk-file by using laztoapk or by using LAMW (as shown in this video? https://sourceforge.net/projects/laztoapk/files/laztoapk_LAMW_Install_and_First_App.mp4/download

I have a WIKI page about successful attemps. I would be happy if some folks could constribute to that list. https://sourceforge.net/p/laztoapk/wiki/Home/

Hi DelphiFreak,
a) I had run the generated apk's on two real Devices.
    - Samsung S5 mini
    - Samsung Tab A 2016
    Because I installed the Tools on my aged Laptop I can not use the Emulator.
    It is to slow.
b) I build the APK's using LazToApk.
    I tryed the shipped Example and an own Project.
    I didn't try LAMW

Best Regads,
Martin

Thanks to Handoko,
I tried LAMW and it worked fine.
My first Apps can be executed.
Now I will give deeper into into this Things.

Hello!

I decided I will make Android applications with Lazarus, especially some small games.
I would like set the Lazarus environment with LazToApk to be able to create .APKs.
As I read the "Installation Tutorial for LazToApk" (2016, March release), first of all, it requires the JDK. But is it the jdk-8u25-windows-i586.exe exactly, or may I use newer versions of JDK, included the newest version too? (I have Windows 10 x64 architecture.)
And if I hopefully will install everything successfully, should I always use LazToApk or Laz4Android programs to create Android applications or these new features will build-in the original Lazarus?

Maybe you should better take a look at Lazarus Android Module Wizard (or LAMW for short) as its a more convenient solution than doing everything by hand.

I tried, but when I added packages "lazandroidwizardpack.lpk" and "amw_ide_tools.lpk", I got error messages: No memory left (I have 8 GB in my PC) and couldn't find a pascal command, and besides there is no [LAMW] Android Module Wizard in Tools menu.
Maybe something was wrong in Android SDK Manager? I deselect every unnecessary things in it.
