Problem with IDE sending .adk to phone.

[mramos]

I downloaded and installed the basic4android compiler, added the two lines for the hello world test. Hit F5 and received this error. I could not paste the whole thing for some reason, the the error in question is below:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]

Seems it's unable to move the app to the emulator. I am able to adb push it on the emulator by hand and run it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?

I have re-installed java, android-sdk and b4a. Same problem. The emulator and adb work fine by hand. I googled and see lot of people with the issue, not just with b4a.

I am running the latest java, sdk and b4a, even updated the sync manager.

Thanks in advance for any direction.

I don't have a definite solution for this problem.
Are you using API level 8 for the SDK and emulator?
Try to create a new emulator instance. It can solve this problem: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/6838-error-install_failed_dexopt.html

Try to use API level 8. The other day I reinstalled B4A and installed API level 9 (1.9) and I got the same error. Deleting 1.9 and installing 1.8 resolved my problems.

Erel and Moster67,

I was using 9, but had tried 8. Went back to 8 and the same error. I will build a new device with 8 and a small SD and see if that works. But so far no go with API 8.

Built a new API 8 and small SD. Still get the error.

Will try a manual push again and see if that works.

I am not 100% sure but I think the problem is that the file "dx.bat" cannot be found. I also believe that in the latest SDK-releases, Google changed its position. It could be either in "android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-8\tools" or in "android-sdk-windows\platform-tools". What I did was to add said paths as an enviroment-variable. You can find a guide how to do it in this post:

[mramos]

Added the platform-tools to the path, no go there and the dx.bat was in there.

Saw the adb logcat and ran it and did a compile. I captured this. Opps, for some reason I can not paste in my post and can not add an attachment.

But I have a line that says the failure is because my .apk does not include classes.dex ?? Got me as to what the means.

 

[Erel]

Can you zip the apk file and send it to me: [email protected] ?

Just sent it. Here is the text, I updated firefox 4 beta and now I can cut and paste again..

Did you get the file Erel?

 

[Erel]

No. Didn't get it.

 

[mramos]

Sent it again.

 

[Erel]

Did you send the apk file or the source code?
Does it fail only with a specific program?

I sent the test.apk in a zip.

I reloaded the jdk and android-sdk again. I still get the error. Made sure all the paths were good. And added the platrom-tools in there too.

I did not try another sample program, I took the default template you had and added the two lines to the activity. And hit F5, it seems to all work but getting it on the emulator or phone. I send a dump from the adb catlog too, it mentioned a missing class of some kind.

I also tried it on another machine and same error? Weird.

Check your spam folder maybe, I sent it yesterday and today. Could be grabbing me.

 

[Erel]

Can you upload it to the forum? I will only be able to check it next week. Maybe other users will be able to test it.

 

[mramos]

Will do. Here it is.

Normally you need to do File -> Export as Zip in the IDE to get the whole project to post. Just posting the b4a file is not enough as we don't then get the layout or any other files required for the project.

In this case it would be the apk that would be of interest as that seems to be where your problem lies.

 

[mramos]

Thanks agraham,

Here is the whole project. New to basic4android and the community.

 

[agraham]

You haven't posted the apk which is where you say your problem lies. The code does of course compile, install and run fine on my system.

 

[mramos]

I did the export to zip. Will post up the .apk now.
