Packaging an application for Android using Sencha Touch Native Packaging on Windows 7

[s.t.a.s]

You should place tools.jar in

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\
tools.jar

Unfortunately, it helped partly. Now a bit different error log:

I have same error.

You can try to place these files here C:\Program Files\SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-Beta\imageformats
It seems to me, only qsvg4.dll solve that problem, but better not to risk)

Application appeared in emulator but doesn't work.
I see errors in log but it seems to be another problem. I'll be digging it tomorrow.
Thank you. )

This is a high priority issue for us, we'll have something to resolve the Windows packaging issues shortly.

Hi,I'm kinda novice at Sencha, would be happy if someone can help me around with this, or tell me it's a known issue by now.

This is the JSON config file I have:
{
"applicationName":"SenchaTest",
"applicationId":"com.sencha.Test",
"versionString":"1.0",
"iconName":"icon.png",
"outputPath":"/build",
"inputPath":"/Websites/SenchaTest",
"configuration":"Debug",
"platform":"Android",
"deviceType":"Universal",
"certificatePath":"/certificates/debug.keystore",
"sdkPath":"../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk",
"androidAPILevel":"15",
"orientations": [
"portrait",
"landscapeLeft",
"landscapeRight",
"portraitUpsideDown"
]
}

After tying to execute the following command:

Sencha package [path to JSON] I get:
""../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk\tools\android" create project --target android-15 --name SenchaTest --activity STActicity --path /build\ --package com.sencha.Test"
Can not open destination file for writing
Failed to copy packager library
Failed to package application

This is although I opened command as an Administrator.Working on Win7 64bit, Sencha Touch 2.

The actual html \ JS files are they ones from the getting started tutorial and haven't been changed.
Thanks!!

[grey_monk]

Monti123,
try change you config like this

{
"applicationName":"Form",
"applicationId":"com.lk.gubkin.ru",
"versionString":"0.0.1",
"iconName":"V:\\mobile\\resources\\icons\\icon.png",
"inputPath":"V:\\mobile\\",
"outputPath":"C:\\lk_debug\\build",
"configuration":"Debug",
"platform":"Android",
"deviceType":"Universal",
"certificatePath":"C:\\lk_debug\\mykey.keystore",
"certificateAlias":"",
"sdkPath":"C:\\Program Files\\Android\\android-sdk",
"androidAPILevel":"7",
"orientations": [
"portrait",
"landscapeLeft",
"landscapeRight",
"portraitUpsideDown"
]
}

[Monti123]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Didn't work, got the exact same message again.

[grey_monk]

Hmm, i don't change anything from last build, but get same error.
Then i try execute command from touch sdk directory, and get successfully compiled .apk

Thanks again,

I'm using the commercial version, and don't have the bin dir, so I used the command from the main touch SDK dir.

For some reason, even after I added the path of the Java.exe file (appears in the jdk1.7.0_02 dir) like requested, I still get the same message the java.exe wasn't found in the original path.

After running the command, it seemed that there was some progress, but than came the same message again:

Do you reboot computer after added java.exe to PATH?
