Android Issue

#1 Post by ThePotatoMan »

Note: I have another problem now, scroll down below to read the issue.

So, I recently tried porting a visual novel to Android, but it won't work. Here's the error:


Updating source code.

Updating build files.
Error: Target id 'android-8' is not valid. Use 'android.bat list targets' to get the target ids.




Creating assets directory.

Packaging internal data.

I'm using Ant to build the package.
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed




The build seems to have failed.

Any ideas?

This is probably the wrong subforum.

android-8 is an extremely old SDK version, are you sure you want to be using that? The error indicates that you don't actually have that android version's SDK installed on your build host. In your build settings somewhere you should be able to change it to something you do have. If you run the adb program in your android SDK's platform tools directory you should be able to see which android versions you have installed.

Sorry I posted this in the wrong subforum, then.

I was able to fix that error with android-16 instead, but now I get another error, which I'll post in the right subforum this time.
