I recently moved to Ubuntu 14.04, I was able to get everything running properly using this tutorial:

http://lessons.runrev.com/m/2571/l/8075 ... r-on-linux


I did have to set the preferences of the file manager to "run files as scripts" or something like that before running the android-sdk-linux/tools/android script in the above lesson.

I am getting this error on Windows.

Have you followed this tutorial?

The last time I installed LC and the Android/Java SDks I remember having a similar problem. Here's what worked for me(from an old thread):

I recently ran in to a bit of trouble with the emulator/ test devices. This is what worked for me:

I uninstalled everything java, and the android sdk

Reinstall JDK

Reinstall android SDK and install packages for 2.2.2 and 2.3.3

Reinstall java for my browser

Restart computer


After I did this, I was able to launch an app on an emulated device and on a test device. I am using 6.6.2 (rc2) and 6.5.2 on a 64 bit windows 7 machine. Hope this helps.

Hopefully this helps a bit.

I did follow that tutorial (except the JDK part, I already had that installed as I've worked with Java in the past). If I follow your instructions from an old thread, should I only install Android 2.2.2 and 2.3.3? Or could I also install a more recent version like 4.4? In other words, would my app be limited working with only older versions of Android? (Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a beginner)

You can install other versions, but you need 2.2.2 and 2.3.3 in order to use livecode. I have 4.4.2 installed as well, and when using the emulator I can test my livecode apps on a 4.4.2 AVD.

Thank you for your help _Sefro

Unfortunately, after following your instructions, the error message still appears. Do you have any more ideas?

I'm not too sure. I do know that there is a way to get it working, as a installed all of this on my win 7 partition a couple months ago. Out of curiosity, what version of LiveCode are you using?

Livecode Community 6.6.2

When you got this working, what revision of the android SDK were you running?

It was on or around January 13th of this year, and I installed the android SDK rev 22.6.3

In case someone searches for quick solution:
Android Minimal SDK with API8

I tried to "connect" the newest Android SDK with newest Livecode on Linux, but with no success. Why is this such a problem? It seems that there is no solution?

Looks like this will no longer work on Livecode 6.6.2. Have anyone successfully adding Android SDK on this livecode version?

I've got it working in Ubuntu and Windows 7...

Hi Guys,

The latest Android SDK (r23) is not compatible with version 6.6.2+ of LiveCode. We are aware of this issue and it is scheduled to be fixed in the next release of LiveCode.

More information on this can be found here-

There are two current methods to resolve this issue until a fix has been implemented-

1) Use the zipalign workaround mentioned in the following bug report http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12719

2) Download an older revision of the SDK (r22) and use this instead.


Kind Regards,
