From Buildbox To Android Studio To Android Device [tutorial]

What JDK version are you using?

 

from release file in jre directory which comes with Android Studio 2.2

JAVA_VERSION="1.8.0_76"
OS_NAME="Windows"
OS_VERSION="5.2"
OS_ARCH="amd64"
SOURCE=""

 

Thank you for a great tutorial, @lqifqkt ! You made it real easy to switch to Android Studio.

One note about the exclude you do on the support-v4 lib. You should instead get rid of the old version of the lib that is included when exporting from Buildbox.

I suppose it's related to the Buildbox features I'm not using, but I didn't have to use multidex and I could also remove the other jars included.

 

I liked your post man

Buildbox is not exporting files to be used by Android Studio yet, but they are moving towards that

and I think the coming versions of BB will be more compatible with Android Studio that's way we should encourage builboxers to move to Android Studio

Regards,

 

In build.gradle

Put this in android

Code:

configurations {
        all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
    }

in dependences change this

Code:

    compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'){exclude module: 'support-v4'}

to become

Code:

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

 

i have a problem it does show in the emulator but the application doesn't run on my device. it does show the icon but doesn't run it

 

This means that the game is installed but there some errors in it.

You need to debug it via the device logs

 

How can I do that?

Is there a video of it?

 

This needs a new tutorial to understand device logs.
Anyway in short you can view the device logs from Android Studio by running the game on a debug enabled device/mobile then from tools android device monitor and logcat tap.

 

@khalid Hello Khalid, is it possible, that you would know, how to fix my problem? Thanks ! http://buildbox.com/forum/index.php...ror-app-transformclasseswithdexfordebug.9862/

 

What is in red is not the appropriate way of excluding a module nor for enabling multidex!! Both lines should be removed from dependencies


The exclusion need to be added in configurations like this
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'

The compile ('com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1') should be removed then add the following in the
defaultConfig

multiDexEnabled true

If you don't know how to do it we have a paid service to fix this for you with 10$

good luck

Thank you very much!

 

hi, i did every thing like in tutorial but geting erro whe it says support v4 is dublicated

 

In your build gradle dependencies, change
compile ('com.google.android.gmslay-services:+'){exclude module: 'support-v4'}, to
compile 'com.google.android.gmslay-services:+'
and take out libs/support (the last line) in dependencies.
