B4J Question Problems building b4xlib, what am I doing wrong... [SOLVED]

[max123]

Hi all

I tried to pack one my library to b4xlib but I had some strange issues, after
I add my class module and manifest.txt in the file and renaming it from .zip to .b4xlib, I put
it in B4J Additional Libraries folder.

Refreshing the IDE library tab I can see it, but a message will appear that says that a word is not in a dictionary,
probably the error is parsing the manifest file.

After this the ide just see version 0.00, but I set it in the manifest.txt this way:

Version=1.00

After this my class is not recognized at all in my project.

Note that with class inline in the project all is working.
Here I suppose I do some confusion because the class name is AsyncCanvas and the b4xlib library name is jAsyncCanvas to target B4J platform.

Because all this not works, I've decided to create a small project with just a small class that do nothing, just sum two numbers, this to test it. In this case after selectig it in the tab, the IDE recognize my class and I can dimension and use it, even return a sum number , but I always have the same message that may manifest cannot parse a word.

Here is the content of the manifest:

Version=1.00
Supported Platforms=B4J
B4J.DependsOn=JavaObject, jXUI

note that JavaObject and jXUI are not really required here, I just put it to have the same on the main project.
I omitted other platform dependences because it only should work on B4J, but even if I specified it should
work only on B4J, the IDE see it multiplatform, see attached screenshot.

What I doing wrong ?
I've a chance to get it working ?

Attached the small project and created b4xlib.

Finally, I have to release an open source library in the forum, I want to pack inside b4xlib or I will release the inline code as is, but because b4xlib exists I think it is a best option.

Thanks for any tip to get it working.

I think it is bad idea to use #ignorewarnings
Try to avoid as it make debug difficult.
Make sure you tested the class in a project before putting the class to b4xlib

The class works well I tested it for ten days.... inline works, I even wrote some demo projects.
Is not a class problem. I even commented (on develop phase) some Try Catch to debug, then when all worked I uncommented.

If you want I can send you the b4xlib so may you see some dots.... may inside the IDE.... or inside LCD monitor rgb leds...
Other ways I will release as inline class (not b4xlib) next days... it is pretty finished.

Try doing a clean project from tools - the ide seems to remember between restarts. maybe its remembering the old version.

A message is out, say that the library is used from another process, but not true.... I will try to reboot pc.

 

[Daestrum]

have you left your zip program looking at it ?

Nono.... may is some backround process... I will try to reboot and get again...

Rebooted pc but nothing changed, when I load the library the IDE show a message error I cannot screenshot because it disappears.

Peoples I have no more patience.... I have spent one full day to just make one b4xlib file.
I think I will post it as inline code class. It was easier to write the full library that create a single working b4xlib file.

The version only shows after you have selected it in the library manager
(well at least for me it does)

Yes, but when I select it, it just show 0.00, like my screenshots.

 

[Daestrum]

This is all I had and it shows 2.00 when I select it

It here never show 2.00, alwaus 0.00. And with Clean Project always exit a yellow message box that says error.
In Italian: La chiave presente non era selezionata nel dizionario.
In English: The present key was not selected in dictionary.

Wild guess - take the Author line out

I will try to remove it

I guess the manifest.txt is not replaced.

I guess the manifest.txt is not replaced.

I will try to recreate it again from zero and compress again.

EDIT: Nothig works

pm your manifest to me

I will do better, can I post to you in private the full b4xlib ?

if you wish yes
