Android Question B4A Custom Build Action Error

[Keith Flanagan]

Hi All

I am getting the following error when trying to automate a localization file through the B4XLocalizator JAR.

I have added the following to my Main class:

#CustomBuildAction: folders ready, "C:\Users\user\Downloads\B4XLocalizator.jar", "..\Files\strings.xlsx" "..\Files\strings.db"


When compiling I get the following
Running custom action. Error
Cannot find: "C:\Users\user\Downloads\B4XLocalizator.jar"
Please configure paths (Tools - Configure Paths).

The Jar is in this location and i can run it manually, so its not a setup or location issue.

Any ideas where I may be going wrong here?

Thanks

C:\Users\user\Downloads\B4XLocalizator.jar

Is your Windows account name "user"? I don't think so.
You should change it to the "real" name, something like:

C:\Users\LucaMs\Downloads\B4XLocalizator.jar

Hi LucaMs

I have moved the jar too many other locations but still get the same error.

The Jar is in this new location and i can run it manually, so its not a setup or location issue IMO.

Are you using Java 8?

 

[Keith Flanagan]

I think so, see screenshot below:

That should be the problem: you cannot run jar files directly, using java 11 (javac.exe).
Try setting this path to your java 8.

The problem is that you are using an old version of B4A. Update to the latest one and you will be able to run jars with all versions of Java.

Hi LucaMS & Erel

I have tried the suggestions, but none has worked, still getting the same error with latest b4a, pointing at java 8 or java 11 for javac.exe
