Android Build Option not available? [SOLVED]

#1 Post by VimislikArt »

I'm trying to export my game for an Android build, but I don't have any of the options available under "Debug" and "Release". The Tablet emulator works just fine, and I downloaded the file "jdk-8u261-windows-x64.exe" from where the link specified and installed it, and updated and restarted Ren'py at the latest version but all the build options are still greyed out.

Help!

Have you installed RAPT?

Yeah, I followed those steps too - I never got any sort of notification when I started up the launcher to "Start the launcher, and tell Ren'Py to install the SDK", so I may be missing a step here?

Okay, the "Install SDK & Create Keys" button is there, but it's greyed out.

I can't remember for sure, but I think you require the 32bit Java8 SDK, not the 64bit SDK

Ok - solved! I downloaded the 32 bit version first, reinstalled the x64 version, and THEN it worked! Thanks!
