Hello,
This is my first time attempting to create an SDK wrapper for B4A.
The Simple Library Compiler (v1.10) looks like the perfect solution but from what I can tell it is not working for me.
I simply unzip it and attempt to build the FirstLib sample.
No errors are shown during the compile step but I am not able to include FirstLib in a B4A project without getting this error:

Error description: Unknown type: firstlib
Are you missing a library reference?

The firstlib library is included and I have performed the refresh operation.

I think the issue may be in the generated XML file, it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<doclet-version-NOT-library-version>1.07</doclet-version-NOT-library-version>
</root>

Should it have the xml definition for the class and method?

Thank you for any help.

Thank you Don.
There are definitely differences between your output and mine, this line in your output jumps out: Working with class: com.example.FirstLib
If you have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

An error seems to have crept into the example zip over the years. The xml file is empty because the default setting for -b4aignore includes 'com.example' and as you are compiling a 'com.example' class it is ignored. If will work if you remove 'com.example' from -b4aignore.

Thank you so much that fixed the problem! Perhaps the sample can be corrected at some point so others don't hit it too.
