Android Platform

[ntuple]

Hi,

Has anyone run into problems getting the Android Platform recognized on Netbeans 6.5 ?

Using the nbandroid plugin I can get to the Platform setup screen but pointing to the Android folder or the Android/platforms folder or even the Android/platforms/Android-1.5 doesn't seem to have a valid platform file that Netbeans can use.

Am doing this on Kubuntu 9.04 if anyone's run into issues with the Netbeans package.

thanks,
R.

The Android SDK is not officially supported in NetBeans. However there
is a plugin available that can help you get set up to use Android in
NetBeans.

I am using the nbandroid plugin from that site and it works perfectly fine in doing its job. The problem is the next step of having the platform recognized by Netbeans so you can actually develop for Android.

Part of what I always liked about Netbeans is its openness and the ability to customize it to what you want to do. I can't see Netbeans simply staying out of Android letting Eclipse be the sole choice for Google's new mobile platform.

Unfortunately, Android not yet a supported platform in NetBeans and that
will not change for the 6.7 release. :(

But it is likely an issue that can be resolved with the plugin. You can
file an issue on the Kenai site for the problem you have observed. Even
better would be to add a fix yourself to the plugin and share the
successfull result with everyone. It's an open source project and
you might be able to see the issue in the source code.

The problem is due to the fact that in sdk 1.5 the directory structure is changed, 1.1 and 1.5 are both included in a directory called platforms.
Do as follows

1) If you need release 1.1 download it as a single tarball an install it separately

2) Install the 1.5 sdk, enter the installation path, platforms, and release 1.5
3) move all the contents from this directory to the root of the installation path (some directories will be merged but no overwriting should happen)
4) try to register the platform again and it will allow you to do that.

I made some testings with simple project and it seems that this operation does not affect any functionality.

Go into android SDK directory

ln -s platforms/android-1.5/android.jar android.jar
cd tools
ln -s ../platforms/android-1.5/tools/aapt aapt
ln -s ../platforms/android-1.5/tools/aidl aidl
ln -s ../platforms/android-1.5/tools/dexdump dexdump
ln -s ../platforms/android-1.5/tools/dx dx
cd lib
ln -s ../../platforms/android-1.5/tools/lib/dx.jar dx.jar

Cheers

I tried what was suggested here:
---> http://forums.netbeans.org/post-34943.html
but adapting it for 2.0 but that didn't help.

ln -s platforms/android-2.0/android.jar android.jar
cd tools
ln -s ../platforms/android-2.0/tools/aapt aapt
ln -s ../platforms/android-2.0/tools/aidl aidl
ln -s ../platforms/android-2.0/tools/dexdump dexdump
ln -s ../platforms/android-2.0/tools/dx dx
cd lib
ln -s ../../platforms/android-2.0/tools/lib/dx.jar dx.jar

This where I originally extracted the SDK:

~/downloads/Java/sdk/android/android-sdk-linux

When get to the point of adding the platform, and it's time to select the directory, I select this directory (the one I list above, where it was that I unzipped the SDK and used the android tool to download), netbeans enables the next>> button, but when I click on it, I get the “a platform target has to be selected” message.

Using netbeans 6.7.1

Hi,
Netbeans Mobility does not support Android platform because it is not
Java ME platform but you may try look for help here:
