I have the project on c:\b4android\projects\glose4 that i created a month ago.
I have an old version of the same project on c:\b4android\projects\glose2 that compile without error (when i create a new version, i copy the old project to a new folder)
I think that the problem was with a new layout file that i created yesterday on the new project (glose4).
I delete this file, and I recreate the same layout file on the designer.
After this, the project compile without error.
After restart the computer, i have the same error when i compile the project ."The filename or extension is too long"

Thank you Erel for your help

If you can reproduce it then send me the project to erel@basic4ppc.com and I'll check it.

Thank you. It is fixed for the next update. It is indeed related to the large number of modules.

Consider breaking the project into several subprojects compiled as native libraries. It will make compilation faster and will also help you maintain this large project.

It should work in the next version of B4A, however it will be better for many reasons to split the project into multiple projects and compile some of the modules as libraries.
