I would be extremely grateful if someone could walk me through the process of configuring my facebook app to accept connections from my android scanner build of my steroids app. Specific areas that I am not entirely clear on are:
Generating a keystore for my app
Hashing the keystore
Configuring the Android build settings
Configuring the facebook settings within Facebook. With specific attention to what Class Name / activity I want facebook to launch, and how to ensure my Class Name and package name are consistent with my Android build settings.
I've been fighting with this for a while, and can't help but feel as though I am missing something simple.
I'm not sure if you have gone through the official documentation or not; but they have explained each steps that you've mentioned step by step: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/getting-started/
Try for once (if not tried yet), and if you find any specific problems post your questions here (I don't think you'll find any after reading the doc)
I had the exact same issue.
I have used Android Decompiler to find the main class.
In my case it was: com.appgyver.runtime.standalone.chromium.MainActivity.
Looks pretty generic. Might work in your case too.

I have a simple calculator app. It's a complete application all by itself.
I also have a more advanced calculator app that's based on the first app, but has more features. Its main Activity extends the first app's main Activity. The advanced app references quite a lot of resources and methods from the simpler app.
Getting the advanced app to build under Android Studio has been a nightmare. I've been googling and trying things blindly in the build.gradle files, but not making much progress. At first, the problem was dependent features configured but no package id was set (whatever that means, Google turned up no documentation.)
I got past that by tweaking the build.gradle files, and now I'm getting Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs, but I can't find the relevant logs. It looks like the build failed because Android Studio tried to merge the AndroidManifest.xml files from the simple app and the advanced app, but I just wanted to use the manifest from the advanced app.
This is all very frustrating because I made it all work under Eclipse but now I have to move to Android Studio.
I guess my first question is: How can I tell Android Studio to just use the Android Manifest from the current project and not try to merge from the other project.
In general: can an application project serve as a library for another project, and if so how? Are there any examples?
Third question: where can I find good documentation on build.gradle?
I could attach my current build.gradle files and AndroidManifest.xml files if people need to see them, but I'm really hoping to learn enough that I can help myself.
Confirm the problem first：
Switch the same model in Library / application
Application ID androidmanifest conflict problem
if this is the problem, the official documents can see the channel packaging

I am trying to write an app in Android that when requested will download a specific file from DropBox if the file is available.
I have gone through all of the tutorials in the developer section on the DropBox site but I don't think they are really detailed enough as each of the tutorials seem to have bits missing and I haven't been able to get any of them to fully work.
I have tried examples of both uploading/downloading files from the tutorials but each time I get to this part of my code I get Exception errors. This leads me to believe that I have missed something out so I was wondering whether there was a decent tutorial anywhere that properly explains the process of downloading a specific file (rather than bringing up DropBox for the user to select the file) from dropBox so that I can follow it through and hopefully will help me to understand where I am currently going wrong.
I know there are lots of questions similar to this but most of them state that they can get part of the process to work and need help on a particular part but I don't seem to be able to get anything to work other than the actual linking to my DropBox account (I have created a DropBox app and have added the keys etc. to my software).
If anyone can help point me in the direction of a decent tutorial that properly explains this process I would be grateful.
Thanks...
I thought I should expand on my issue which hopefully will help to identify the problem that I am having.
The main tutorial I am using at the moment is: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/android
I have created an app in the App Console which allows file sharing; this has also given my key and secret code.
I have downloaded and installed the mentioned SDK and have added it to my project; I know this works as without the SDK installed most of the code produces errors.
I have added the beginning part of this tutorial which sets up the authorization to DropBox from my app; this works as when I test it I am taken to a page on my device that requests that I select the correct DropBox account. Up to this part I have no issues with and it all seems to work.
The next part of the tutorial mentions uploading/downloading files and reading the directory structure. I have tested all of these separately but for each one I get an Exception error; the errors seem to mention something called "json" and a class not being found. The tutorial does not mention needing to install another SDK or any other library files so I am unsure whether it is assuming that something has already been done which I have not known about so hasn't been done.
I hope this makes sense and would appreciate any help you can give me...
It looks like the error is related with JSON library you used to connect with Dropbox server. here is the libraries list I used for my application, it works well and can download the file to cache.
dropbox-android-sdk-1.6.1.jar
dropbox-core-sdk-1.7.7.jar
jackson-annotations-2.2.3.jar
jackson-core-2.2.4.jar
jackson-databind-2.2.4.jar
The library jars in the dropbox-java-sdk-1.7.7 package are not enough.
I have reached a problem in the final stages of completing my stack. I have been working on this project for a couple months now and it is finally complete. The aim of the app is for you (as the user) to be able to have a type of calculator which performs a certain sequence of sums once a numerical value is entered. It is now finished (thank goodness! :P) but I have reached an error whilst saving this app. I am saving it as an Android application (.apk) for use on a mobile phone. I have the Android personal 1 pack, and my error is as follows:
There was an error while saving the standalone application could not compile application class
I am unsure as to why this is occurring but find it hard to believe that this could have occurred because of either invalid syntax or that a command I was using was incompatible with Android.
As I said before my stack is very simple and only performs a few basic mathematical functions (mainly multiplying contents of fields) by each other. If you wish to see this script, please request.
#ninjabunny14 yep it's a good idea to include code, actual text of error messages, details of the platform you're developing on, versions of LiveCode/Android etc
In the meantime you could Google "error while saving the standalone application could not compile application class" like I've just done and found quite a few links to LiveCode forum threads (like this one http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=12330) which look like they might be of use...
NinjaBunny,
This sounds more like an error from the Android SDK than a LiveCode error. For starters check these things in the Android settings pane in the LiveCode Standalone Applications Settings:
Identifier: It has to be unique to this application. If you've ever done a test build for Android without changing this default identifier you will get an error.
Signing: Unless you have a key, choose Sign for development only or Don't sign.
Minimum Android version: make sure you have all of the packages needed for your target version in your Android SDK.
Go to Edit/Preferences and set up the Android SDK path, which is probably empty in your case:
I had this a few times because it is easy to forget.
The identifier in the android settings does not like characters like - so do not use a name like com.itis-me.myapp , but use com.itisme.myapp
the use of a character like - gives you this error.
I have a project template , when i want to produce a unique application manually to update it to the market. I will follow these steps :
Right click in the package name
Refactor, then Rename
Renaming the package in minifest then update the version code
finally to clean the code from imports errors such as *.R; errors
My question is there any tool that automate this refactoring process without being involved on it ?
i tried to create a java tool but it consumes memory and some things i have to finalize it manually , i'm searching for this since 3 days and nothings gives you a clear answer.
My question is there any tool that automate this refactoring process without being involved on it ?
The new Gradle-based build system can handle this scenario. In fact, it allows you to separate the package name used by R.java (to keep it consistent) and the package name used for determining whether the app is unique on the device and in the Play Store.
I recommend that you watch "The New Android SDK Build System" video from the Google I|O 2013 conference to learn more about what it can do, as Xav definitely covers this scenario.
Note that while it is not a "right click", it should make scripting a solution fairly easy.
Thank you all, I've solved this problem by converting the template project into JAR and let another small project handle every thing , I've created a small method that updates the minifest in that small project and i had to update package,ver name and ver code ONLY ,then I've generated the APK using ANT ,however i tested the project and it works fine , hope this will help another people
few days ago, when I was debugging an Android project under eclipse I've found some great functionality: "All instances..." and "Instance count". I wanted to share my findings with rest of my colleagues, but none of them had this functionality in their eclipse install (we all use eclipse 3.7).
What's even more weird now I'm also missing this functionality.
As far as I can tell this functionality is build within eclipse from version 3.3 and available to projects using Java 1.6 and above as mentioned here and here (we're using 1.6).
See bottom of this link to see what functionality I'm talking about. It even has it's own shortcut in options (ctrl+shift+n) so I think there must be a way to use it again.
I was looking for it while debugging and while the debugger was in "stopped" state.
Anyone can help me put eclipse in right view/perspective/state to see this functionality again?
EDIT
Here is the documentation entry from eclipse help page: link
Thanks for any suggestions,
kajman
After some more digging I came to following conclusion:
DalvikVM does not support "instance retrieval".
On eclipse help page mentioned in EDIT section it written:
This command is only available if the Java virtual machine you are currently using supports instance retrieval.
Maybe there is an option to enable this option in DalvikVM, but I doubt it unfortunately.
Also when debugging on phone "Drop to frame" functionality is missing.
