Sencha Cordova Builder - Automated Builds for PhoneGap Projects

[ashishpok]

Brice, excellent tool... just what I was looking for !!!!

I am set building package in Windows environment for android, one thing I am missing is build.xml file within the build folder. It looks like ant is not able to find the file and my debug / emulate step doesn't work.

Would can you give any pointers on why build.xml file might be missing in build\<my-app>\android folder?

Thanks,

- A

Brice has already answered this if you scroll to the page 2 (i believe)...

You are probably using newer version of PhoneGap / Cordova (2.3+)..

[bcichowlas]

Just to clarify, can you use Adobe Phonegap Build with Sencha Architect 2.0? Is there a particular build of Cordova or PhoneGap you would use?

thanks

but also when i add the following script

{
                title: 'Welcome',
                iconCls: 'home',

                styleHtmlContent: true,
                tpl:[
                    'device: {name}</br>',
                    'phonegap version {cordova}'
                ].join(''),
                
                listeners :{                    
                    initialize : function(){
                        
                        this.setData(device);
                        
                    }
                
                }
            }

i see the following error

Uncaught ReferenceError: device is not defined

and its not working on virtual device

, any idea please ?

best regards

[webdev13]

i have generated .apk files located in bin folder , but debug still not working , here is my build.xml file

 <import file="${basedir}/.sencha/app/build-impl.xml"/>
    <import file="/sencha-cordova-builder-master/build-cordova.xml" />
    <target name="-after-build" depends="-build-android" />
    
    <target name="-after-build-android">
    
    <exec executable="ant">
        <arg value="-buildfile" />
        <arg value="${cordova.android.project}/build.xml" />
        <arg value="debug" />
    </exec>

    <exec executable="adb">
        <arg value="install" />
        <arg value="-r" />
        <arg value="${cordova.android.project}/bin/${app.name}-debug.apk" />
    </exec>
    </target>

and i get the following error

Fixed the issue. I just had to follow the steps provided here to ensure cordova / phonegap was building properly.

[ashishpok]

Just to clarify, can you use Adobe Phonegap Build with Sencha Architect 2.0? Is there a particular build of Cordova or PhoneGap you would use?

I am using PhoneGap 2.4 with ST2.1 and Sencha Cmd 3.0. This is working fine in Windows environment for me. I have not used Architect though.

The only difference from Brice's video is to use run.bat instead of debug for launching Android Emulator after build is done.

[ashishpok]

@webdev13, sorry I am not sure what could possibly be wrong. I am pretty new to using ST2 and PhoneGap.

I had some weird issues running the app initially. What helped me was

1. making sure _android.built file is deleted before running the app build.
2. delete build/<app>/android folder and let the build create it from scratch.

If I do both my issues get resolved. That's all I can say... not sure why I would have to delete android build at this point.

[bricemason]

@webdev13, this snippet from your build output tells the story:


[ERR] BUILD FAILED[ERR] com.sencha.exceptions.BasicException: The following error occurred while executing this line:[ERR] C:\wamp\www\myApp1\build.xml:9: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "ant": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
you need to install ant from here: http://ant.apache.org/

Once you do that, try to build again. If you're on windows, make sure you delete the _android.built file before rebuilding.

Let us know if you still need help.
