Build error on Android

[ldanzinger]

@benlau I am trying to build this for android. I cloned, and tried to just build the example app, but I get the following build errors. Are there any special steps I need to follow after cloning, or should everything just work for building the example app straight away? I tried with 5.6 and 5.7, Gradle and Ant.

Hi @ldanzinger,

The example program is expected to work with "ant" directly. Because the installation script of Java source files ( https://github.com/benlau/quickandroid/blob/master/quickandroid.pri#L38 ) do not work with gradle yet.

In your case, I guess the installation script of Java source files are not triggered. Could you check your build folder and see is android-build/src/quickandroid/SystemDispatcher.java available?

If not, then you could copy quickandroid/java/QuickAndroid/*.java to examples/quickandroidexample/android-sources/src/quickandroid . Then it should works with ant / gradle.

it doesn't work for me with ant, but if i manually copy like you suggest, it does work for me. Thanks for the help.

btw, I have just updated the example code. Now it should works with gradle too.
