I had a similar issue on Windows 11 — make sure your JDK path doesn’t have spaces and points to the correct root folder (like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-XX). Also check that JAVA_HOME is set correctly in your environment variables. Restart LiveCode after setting it, that helped in my case.

Always gratified to see new users posting here. In this case, a first time post, rather technical, answered by a first time post, rather technical.

I love the smell of bots in the morning!

Klaus,

Rereading, you may be correct. If so, I am depressed. But look how well they write!!!

And the posts are months apart. Bots are reading other bots old posts??? Or are they from the same one, which was merely biding its time?

Why then are we not flooded with these things?

Craig,

yep, BOTS are learning fast!

Why then are we not flooded with these things?

Well we ARE in fact, but "yours truly" always tries to delete that shit
before it comes to your eyes!

A couple of days before I manually deleted about 20 postings from ONE user, which only stated:

Created with (the name of some bloody AI software)!

I hate it, it does not make any sense, but people do whatever is possible,
no matter how meaningless it may be...

Best

Well, Klaus, that is why you get paid the big bucks.

HP Laptop 17-cn0xxx, Win 11, Java 11, Android Studio Narwhal, LiveCode 10.0.3 rc-1. I have diligently followed every step of the LiveCode and Android Studio lesson (even unchecking obsolete files) x times (also with Win10). But I always get Path (none). In my frustration, I asked an LLM and got this answer, to which there is nothing to add:
"Faulty path detection: The fact that LiveCode automatically finds the path for Java 8 but not for Java 11, even though the path is set correctly in the registry, indicates a bug in LiveCode's path detection logic. The developers may have adapted the path detection to take into account the old registry scheme for Java 8, but have not fully implemented the changes for newer Java versions."

Thank you!

I have submitted a bug report and here’s a short summary for the forum:

On Windows 11, LiveCode 10.0.3 rc-1 fails to detect JDK 11 (Oracle or Adoptium/Temurin). The JDK Path in Preferences → Mobile Support always remains (none), even though JAVA_HOME, PATH, and registry keys are correctly set and java/javac run fine from the command line. By contrast, LiveCode still recognizes JDK 8 — but JDK 8 is obsolete and cannot be used for Android API 35, which Google now requires. This effectively blocks Android deployment. The fix should be to update LiveCode’s JDK detection logic to properly recognize JDK 11 from registry and/or environment variables.

Hi, I don't know if this might be the issue, but have you properly and completely removed Java v 8 from your computer before trying with v 11?

If that happens to fix your issue, you should please add this note to update the bug report. If not, probably worth mentioning that in the report too.

Hi,
Yes, I’ve completely removed Java 8 from my system and confirmed that no traces remain.
