[LAMW] Unable to create .apk on Windows 8.1

[pasquale]

Hello.

I installed LAMW on my notebook which runs Windows 8.1 and, when I try to create an .apk, I get the error you can see in the attached image.

Do you know what it may depend on?

Thanks

Can you make an Apk using "Ant" ?

Can you make an Apk using "Ant" ?

Actually, Ant does not appear at all in the combobox,

Attached you will find two self-explanatory images.

Add

"/bin"    to  Ant path.... click OK...

After, try a new project again...


Edited: What about java? Remember that you fix it in your another computer...
(Gradle don't work  when java > 13.... and LAMW need java 8 (a.k.a 1.8_xxx)  to support Ant...

Do you know the link to download the correct Java version?

Thanks

I have been trying and retrying for days, uninstalling and reinstalling Java and changing Gradle versions, but in the end the error message has always been the same:

Is there any compatibility issue with Windows 8.1?

[loaded]

Windows 8.1 does not have any problems.
You can probably try to install jdk1.8.0_181 externally in your problem Java Setup.

I have been trying and retrying for days, uninstalling and reinstalling Java and changing Gradle versions, but in the end the error message has always been the same:

After re-install Java [jdk1.8.0_xxx  recomendated] and Gradle  [6.61 recomendated]   

you need (re)configure the "Environments Variable"  [Control Panel]

[pasquale]

By changing the settings in the way you can see in the first attached image, I have managed to build the .apk.

Nevertheless, when I try to sign the same .apk, I receive an error message originated by zipalign.exe, as you can see in the second attached image.

Any idea about the cause?

P.S. In the folder C:\Windows\System32 I have found no file named zipalign.exe or the like.

Maybe you need fix the GRADLE_HOME  "Evironment Variable"  in Control Panel

You can compare your  "gradle-local-apksigner.bat" [edit/open: Notepad] using  the example below:

set Path=%PATH%;C:\android\sdk\platform-tools;C:\android\sdk\build-tools\29.0.2
set GRADLE_HOME=C:\android\gradle-6.6.1
set PATH=%PATH%;%GRADLE_HOME%\bin
zipalign -v -p 4 C:\android\workspace\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12\build\outputs\apk\release\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12-armeabi-v7a-release-unsigned.apk C:\android\workspace\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12\build\outputs\apk\release\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12-armeabi-v7a-release-unsigned-aligned.apk
apksigner sign --ks C:\android\workspace\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12\applamwnoguiproject12-release.keystore --ks-pass pass:123456 --key-pass pass:123456 --out C:\android\workspace\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12\build\outputs\apk\release\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12-release.apk C:\android\workspace\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12\build\outputs\apk\release\AppLAMWNoGUIProject12-armeabi-v7a-release-unsigned-aligned.apk

I couldn't find any GRADLE_HOME  "Evironment Variable"  in Control Panel/Advanced Settings/System.

Please, create a NEW project and put here your project

"gradle-local-apksigner.bat"

Please, create a NEW project and put here your project

Please find attached my project.

The apk was built correctly but I am unable to sign it.
