I guess this error is google-play related
When i open the SDK manager i see that Google play services Rev 38 is installed , but I can not find the google-play-services.jar file under <sdk>\extras\google\google_play_services.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,Idan

Try to add:

#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4

I tried , and got compilation error

When I copied the android-support-v4.jar file to the additinal libraries folder, and referenced it : #AdditionalJar: android-support-v4.jar
when trying to compile I get the following error

You have "old" version B4A 4.30. I dont think that with new SDK this will work.
So i think that you have two way:
1. Update Version B4A ( i recommend )
2. You read this #POST

 

[Erel]

That's correct. You need to use B4A v6+ or downgrade to an older version of Google Play Services.

 

[Idan Arad]

Thanks, I will try to upgrade b4a and check.

 

[CSesma]

Idan, Have you been able to solve it?

I have the same problem, I have installed B4A 6 but nothing, I do not know how to follow.

Thanks in advance to any help

 

[aidymp]

I can make it work, but i want to make it work with firebase services too, has anyone managed that?

 

[Idan Arad]

Idan, Have you been able to solve it?

I have the same problem, I have installed B4A 6 but nothing, I do not know how to follow.

Thanks in advance to any help

I installed b4a 6.5, but didn't have time to check it. After I will check I will post here.

 

[CSesma]

Thank you Idan

That's correct. You need to use B4A v6+ or downgrade to an older version of Google Play Services.

I upgrade B4A to 6.5 and also the latest versions of Java and Android SDK.
I download APPODEAL demo and run it .
I get the Following Error on compilation:

B4A version: 6.50
Parsing code. (0.00s)
Compiling code. (0.03s)
Compiling layouts code. (0.00s)
Organizing libraries. (0.00s)
Generating R file. (0.38s)
Compiling generated Java code. (1.36s)
Convert byte code - optimized dex. Error
Process timed out.
You can change the timeout value under Tools - IDE Options.


changing the timeout doesnt help.
I also tried to Change MaxRamForDex=512 to MaxRamForDex=1024 , but after I close and reopen B4A
it goes back to MaxRamForDex=512. (The filename is b4xv5.ini , and I also have b4aV0.1.ini which seems irrelevant).

 

[Idan Arad]

ok , i got this solved:
upgrading from B4A v4.3 to B4A I had to completely uninstall b4a , rename the 2 following libraries

• %appdata%\Anywhere Software
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software

and then reinstall b4a V6.5.
At this point the appodeal demo compiles and runs with no issue.

 

[CSesma]

Thank you Idan for sharing your solution.

I've tried it without luck.
