Android Question Beta 7.8 compile error

[tsteward]

I have obviously done something wrong.
I'm getting a compilation error

ERROR: Unable to open class file gen\lishi\assistand\tony\stewardgmail\com\R.java: Permission denied

I have installed the Beta version and also change to using the inbuilt SDK

Tools - SDK Manager.
2. Download SDK. It will open the browser. You should download sdk-tools-windows.
3. Unzip it in a folder such as C:\Android
4. Set sdkmanager.bat in the SDK manager tool. It will be in: C:\Android\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat
5. The recommended items will be checked. Click on Install Selected.
6. Yes and No buttons will appear from time to time when you need to accept licenses. Read and accept.
7. Configure the IDE to use the new SDK. Tools - Configure Paths. Set the path to android.jar. It will be:
C:\Android\platforms\android-27\android.jar

Where is the project saved?

Can you post the full compilation text?

App is in a dropbox folder on my computer

That is probably the problem. Try to save it in a different folder.

This is not related to v7.80. You should switch to OkHttp instead of Http or use android.jar level 22 or below.

You should never use Respone.GetString. It will not work properly on Android 4+.
Switch to OkHttpUtils2. It is simple and powerful.
