Android Help!

[woahevil1]

After many hours and hurdles trying to set up Android testing for my visual novel, I can't seem to get past this.
Every time I Build and Install the package, it always gets stuck indefinitely here with no errors, seen in the image in the link below...

However I know my phone is connected as I am able to access it from my PC etc... so I am not sure as to what to try next.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Have you tried just building the package and then manually dragging the file in to your phone's library?

I got the same thing. Manually dragging the file in to the phone library worked

Thanks for the answers. Hmm any particular place to drag or will I have to root my device etc... because breaking my phones warranty is a last resort.

[Jibus]

No need to root, just set the app in the "downloads" folder then launch it

*Edit* Never mind I got it to work, ty for all the help

Hi all,
RenPy newbie and new to the lemmasoft forums, too, so I’m not sure if I should post here or a new thread.

I’m trying to create RenPy for Android, but I’m struggling to find a walkthrough that is step by step.
I’m on a Mac, I’ve installed the Java SDK and the Renpy SDK.
I’ve done my best to Configure the game, but, to be honest, I don’t really know what most settings mean.
When I hit Build Package, this is where I get the error…

//
(A bunch of other code……)

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.misc.BASE64Encoder
at org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader.findClassInComponents(AntClassLoader.java:1366)
at org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader.findClass(AntClassLoader.java:1315)

at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:499)
... 48 more

Total time: 14 seconds

The build seems to have failed.

Any ideas? Thanks so much!

The sun.misc.BASE64Encoder class has been removed from Java 9 onwards. The only solution I know: Switch back to Java 8

Hi Karl_C,
Thanks so much! I've set my default Java to Java 1.8.0_171, but I'm still receiving the same error. Any other ideas?

Otherwise, is there any other way to export Renpy to Android devices? Thank you!

Hi @Karl_C - actually, I installed Renpy on my other computer and it looks promising! It didn't crash at the build level! One step forwards! Thanks so much for your help!

I've set my default Java to Java 1.8.0_171, but I'm still receiving the same error. Any other ideas?

Did you set the path as well? Open a command promt and:

Code: Select all

set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\bin

to set it temporary.

Hm... I'm on a Mac so I don't think that line will work. But I've switched computers and I've found a bit of patience and rebuilding the files seems to do the trick if I get an error. Thanks so much for your help!
