★ New Android SDK Update Causing Problems?

rubix · May 2013

I'm not sure if this is related to the error message im getting but..

I recently updated Android SDK Platform tools from the Android SDK Manager, and setup the ODK in unity (downloaded from here https://devs.ouya.tv/developers/odk).

then I click the compile button and get an error. (pictures below)

The aapt.exe file is missing from android-sdk\platform-tools. looks like the latest android sdk update moved it to android-sdk\build-tools\17.0.0

Reinstall a older version is what I'd recommend.

Thanks for the heads up. I updated to the latest and I'll have to check for the new place. You can update the path information in OuyaPanel.cs

rubix · May 2013

oh ok thanks! ill try that. :)

Ok I just updated the path (also had to update the NDK path to android-ndk-r8e\prebuilt\windows\bin\make.exe), and it found it all just fine but i'm still getting the same error message.

I have JDK 6 installed, Android SDK is up to date with the fixed path, and NDK r8e. The minimum API Level is set to API Level 14.

also if it helps im running Window XP Professional SP3

The error is because you set the minSDK version to 14 instead of 16. Set to the higher version and it will compile. Otherwise you have to remove the controller connection listener from the application java.

setting the minSDK to 16 worked! it compiles correctly now, but when I click build and run it gives me this

then once i locate it, this is what it does.

here is what I have installed

Maybe you need to set the android sdk path to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk in the Unity preferences.

tgraupmann · May 2013

And then on the android tab of the ouya panel also make sure the path matches there....

rubix · May 2013

Oh that might be it. lol I'll check as soon as I get home later today.

rubix · May 2013

that helped a little (it didn't ask me where the SDK was) but I'm still getting the no platforms found message. so... I tried it again and retraced my steps. It asked me where the SDK was again and looks like every time I click "Build and Run Application" it erases the path to the SDK in unity's preferences. (tried multiple times to confirm that).

It did however give me an error that I just noticed and forgot to mention earlier.

What version of Unity are you running? 3.X or 4.X?

tgraupmann · May 2013

Also you want to use JDK 6 - 32-bit. There's a download button/link on the Java tab.

rubix · May 2013

I'm running version 4 of unity, and JDK 6 32-bit downloaded from here (www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6downloads-1902814.html#jdk-6u45-oth-JPR)

I am having a similar error

Error building Player: Exception: android (invokation failed)

ERROR: unknown error

cmd:android list target -c

stdout;

stderr:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

at SDKMain.main(SDKMain.java:62)

I have JDK 6 32 bit installed (as used in the OUYA tab) and the NDK and ADK

Unity 4.x (Cause of the Android License )

I tried upgrading to the latest ODK and I am seeing the same error message today. It looks like it is not certain where the android sdk location is, although it seems to be set correctly in the Ouya Panel.

rubix · May 2013

If it helps any, here is the file I edited that fixed the first few errors I had with the ouya panel not finding the aapt.exe. It also fixes the NDK path to the make.exe.

goes here: Assets\Ouya\SDK\Editor (right click, save as)

I guess that downloading "17" was the issue. I am going to try completely uninstalling my android sdk, then reinstalling it taking care to only install "16".

david_bennett · May 2013

This didn't work -- the latest version of the Android SDK manager changes the paths. Well, it downloads parts of 17. I guess that changing the paths in OuyaPanel.cs as rubix has done is the simplest route.

Found a solution that fixed my problem.

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/461115/android-build-fails-with-unknown-reason-after-upgr.html

apparently the new Android SDK Tools really messed things up with Unity finding the android sdk, this link got mine to start working. Why not give it a whirl.

tgraupmann · May 2013

Thanks for the link ;)

david_bennett · May 2013

This worked well for me too. Thanks.

I needed to do one additional thing in the SDK manager -- "install" (actually downgrade) Android SDK Platform-tools to Rev 16.0.2.

rubix · May 2013

AWESOME!!! that worked. thanks!

LostAeon · May 2013

My pleasure :) I share what I can!

About the missing aapt.exe here you have how to fix it easy without installing an older version or changing anything on the Ouya plugin itself

I hope it helps

tgraupmann · August 2013

I need to add logic to find the new paths and show a warning if you are using Unity 3.X about Rev 22 detected "please downgrade".

Howdy, Stranger!
