Android Question Compiling with API 35

[RichardN]

After the necessary changes I am attempting to update my apps to API 35.

When the compilation is taking place I observe the following in the dialog:

Compiling resources (4.85s)
Linking resources (1.29s)
build tools: 34.0.0, android jar: android-35
Compiling debugger engine code. (2.37s)
Compiling generated Java code. (7.62s)

Why am I seeing 'build tools: 34.0.0' ? Compilation appears otherwise correct. Is this normal behaviour or have I missed something in setting up the SDK for API 35?

It’s the build tools not target version so it’s okay.

I modified my targetSdkVersion to 35 as follows:

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="35"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" 
    android:normalScreens="true" 
    android:smallScreens="true" 
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)

but the compile showed android jar still at 34 as follows:

B4A Version: 13.30
Parsing code.    (0.08s)
    Java Version: 19
Building folders structure.    (0.05s)
Running custom action.    (0.04s)
Compiling code.    (0.08s)
Compiling layouts code.    (0.01s)
Organizing libraries.    (0.00s)
    (AndroidX SDK)
Compiling resources    (0.04s)
Linking resources    (0.25s)
    build tools: 34.0.0, android jar: android-34
Compiling generated Java code.    (0.05s)
Finding libraries that need to be dexed.    (0.01s)

I loaded the update to my device but the main menu screen which has menu items in a 'custom list view' was not lined up and I couldn't see the top two menu items.

I think we are going to need a new B4A version with the proper SDK update to 35.

Follow these steps and try to compile again with version 35 of the sdk. It worked here!

targetSdkVersion 35 and opting out of edge-to-edge enforcement

Starting from B4A v13.4, the default themes (Themes.LightTheme / Themes.DarkTheme) already include the snippet that opts out of edge-edge. You only need this if you use a customize theme. The recommended targetSdkVersion is presently 34, however if you like to experiment with v35 then your app...
