No APK file gets created when trying to package Touch app for Android

[parky128]

Hi

I am having a go at packaging up my Touch application into native Android using the 2.0 beta version of the SDK tools.

I have created a config file and when I run the package command from my command line tool, I don't see any output in the console to suggest an apk file has generated and no file appears in the target directory specified in the config file either. I dont get any errors either, the console just gives me a new command line.

I am at a dead end now, has anyone out there successfully packaged up an apk file following the Touch docs here http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/...native_android

the same problem on windows 7 64 bit.

I traced the problem to the following: there is a console program stbuild.exe that installs as part of sencha SDK and that is called when you do sencha package config.json

the thing is : when you change the platform name in the config from IOSSImulator to either Android or AndroidEmulator, stbuild stops analyzing the file and does not do anything - even if all paths in the config are plain wrong.

for IOS it at least prints messages like "build/ directory does not exist - cannot copy files" and so on.

so this may well be a problem with the current version of stbuild.exe in Sencha Touch SDK

I am also running windows 7 64 bit, sounding more and more like a bug in the sdk tools now!?

Same issue with SenchaSDKTools 2.0.0 beta for MAC OSx Lion.

platform: IOSSImulator works,

AndroidEmulator does not create or tell me anything.

Ok, I have now managed to get the packager running on an Windows XP machine and am now seeing debug in the console.

The build keeps failing for me as follows:

It would appear its having trouble with the icon image I have specified in the config file. When I look at the copies of the icon in the res folder they are just blank (no images at all).

I have made sure my icon conforms to the Android developers guide too.

Any thoughts?

I have even tried an image from an Android launcher icon sample pack from their developer site but still I get the same build errors as above.

Have same issue ie not able to create a apk file.

Please note my android.json

{

]
}



While build (sencha package run android.json), I get following errors:
Total time: 0 seconds

Please help

Is this been solved. Still having the same problem here.

[voloshyn]

this config is very outdated, install latest Sencha Command, then run sencha generate app and look on packager.json. Anyway, it is best to work though Sencha Command using "sencha app build native" rather then using packager (stbuild) directly.
