Gentlefolk,
Things went down rapidly down hill when I got into the 'android' world, things like Gradle, Groovy, Maven, SDKs, NDKs take some getting ones head around.
I shut down the PC and when I started up things in the environment such as PATHS must have been lost and all sorts of things did not make sense.
So after thinking about it I cleaned everything out and started again following the HOWTO in
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,40750.0.htmlWorked my through it step by step and thing looked good until I got to the #2 information of Wayne Sherman at the following line: 'From a command line run "gradle-local-build.sh" from the project folder.
This generated some 600 lines of data and failed with the following:
Task ':compileDebugJavaWithJavac' is not up-to-date because:
No history is available.
All input files are considered out-of-date for incremental task ':compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
Compiling with source level 1.7 and target level 1.7.
Full recompilation is required because no incremental change information is available. This is usually caused by clean builds or changing compiler arguments.

controls.activity.setTurnScreenOn(_value);
I am having a lot of trouble with size, complexity and confusion of the android environment, it is difficult to troubleshoot while learning.
Any solutions/suggestions/ideas/etc??? help, Ian
