LAMW Install not working

[petex]

I installed using the manager vs 0.8.6.4 for Windows.

I opened the "hello world" app and it would not build. See error log:

...............................
Project: Executing command before: Success

There is know issue: https://github.com/dosza/LAMWManager-win/tree/current#cannot-build-lamw-demos

[petex]

It mentions "Android project Options", these are not present on the Lazarus IDE 2.0.12

Cannot Build LAMW Demos

By default LAMW Manager uses (Android) Crosscompile to ARMv7+vFPV3, but LAMW Demos uses ARMV6+Cfsoft, you need apply this configuration:

    Open your LAMW Demo with LAMW4Windows
    On menu bar go to Project --> Project Options ... --> [LAMW] Android Project Options --> Build --> Chipset --> ARMV7a+FVPv3

If I try and create a new (empty) GUI project it is worse ......

I have Lazarus 3.0 (rev lazarus_3_0) FPC 3.2.2 i386-win32-win32/win64 with LAMW here (is also a older install). Lazarus 2.0.12 look a little outdated.

How have you installed your version ?

[petex]

i just installed the latest from github - LAMW manager. Its meant to be a hands free install. I haven't intervened.
I really don't know what is the best approach as there are several alternatives. I am sure its all good stuff but it really appears to be so flaky.

[petex]

I installed using fpcdeluxe by pressing the green LAMW button. This version of lazarus has all the Android options that were missing from the LAMW manager install. I tried to compile the hello world app, fail ..... I tried to create an new app -- I got a message about cannot find a file "release".

Could some kind soul zip up a folder with working iazarus, android SDKs etc and a working demo app and put it on github ?? I am sure the testers would have produced lots of these and it would not be a big deal.
I just want to evaluate it, not interested in bells and whistles.

Changed path in project options to this and it compiled... Now looking for the APK

-FDC:\lazarusAndroid\LAMW\sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin

[dseligo]

Now looking for the APK

What do you mean by that?
What errors do you get when you go to menu Run, [LAMW] Build Android Apk and Run (or press Ctrl+F1)?

[petex]

Had to set win environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:\lazarusAndroid\LAMW\jdk\zulu-default

pure gobbledygook to me!!

[dseligo]

Open file build.gradle which is in C:\lazarusAndroid\LAMW\lazandroidmodulewizard\demos\GUI\AppHelloWord\ (that is where demo project is).
Check if there is a line that contains namespace, like this line highlighted:

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. android {
2.     namespace "org.lamw.apphelloword"
3.     splits {
4.         abi {
5.             enable true
6.  

I never opened this demo until this evening and there wasn't line with namespace either, but when I opened this demo, Lazarus asked me to update build.gradle (and I let him), and after that this file was changed.

I am attaching my build.gradle from this demo project, so you can compare it with your file.

P.S.: I had to add '.txt' extension on attached file because forum didn't allow me to post original name.

hi,
i had just done that independently !!! thanks
Has built apk ---

Great, I'm glad you did it.

Can confirm app works on my phone. Thanks for assistance.

Can anyone explain the diff between using ant and gradle to build apk. As far as i can see, gradle requires to be online.

Maybe you get old version of lamw_manager, this problem about of linkage of ndk lib has been fixed since v0.3.1.8

Get latest version in https://github.com/dosza/LAMWManager-win/releases/tag/v0.3.1.8
