From sometime in April until sometime in May I was working on an app on a windows 7 computer. I had set up the Android SDK and Java stuff and could build the apk file and install it on my Android phone. The simulator sort of worked but I found it much easier to test on the phone. The last time I built the standalone app for Android was May 24th.
At that point I set up everything on a MacBook pro and started working with the ios and testing the app on my iPhone as well as the simulator (which worked much better than the Android simulator). Now that I have the app pretty much worked out I have tried to build it for android. I never got the android stuff to work on the Mac so I tried the windows 7 machine.
When I "Save as Standalone Application" everything looks like it works (except I am not asked for my key chain password). I get no errors and it finishes in about a second with the message " Stand alone app saved successfully". No .apk file can be found anywhere.
Did something happen between May 24 and now?

Re: Can't Build Standalone
By chance did you happen to update your android sdk to r23 on your win7 machine? If so, see this thread:

In any case, have you rechecked your "mobile preferences" on your win7 machine to ensure that the android settings are still there?

I had the problem before I updated to r23. I updated and have put the zipalign file into the tools directory.pkocsis wrote:By chance did you happen to update your android sdk to r23 on your win7 machine?
I still get the "not a valid SDK folder" message. Both on my windows 7 machine and my mac book pro.
I am at a loss. should I go back to an older version of LC? I am using 6.6.1 on both computers.

Re: Can't Build Standalone
rI completely reinstalled JDK and SDK's . I put the zipfile utility into the tools directory and now I no longer get the "Not a valid android SDK folder" message.
I can test the app on the Android emulator but when I connect the phone to the computer it does not show up in the test platform list. Also when I build for standalone I get no error messages, the process takes less than a second and I get the message "Standalone application saved successfully". The directory where the standalone is to be stored contains a new empty folder with no .apk file.
Making progress but I don't know where to go from here. I am using LC version 6.6.1. which before May 24 all was working fine. I am going to try to reinstall LiveCode as that is the only thing I haven't reinstalled.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
