Android Question unable to find attribute android:fontVariationSettings

[nicieri]

I have reviewed all the previous posts, I have reinstalled the SDK, I have updated such caual indicated in the instructions.

I have verified and my path configuration points to:

C:\Android\platforms\android-27\android.jar

But this is not the solution.

I have the most recent version of B4A. (8.30)

ObfuscatorMap.txt file created in Objects folder.
Compiling layouts code. (0.05s)
Organizing libraries. (0.00s)
Generating R file. Error
ERROR: In <declare-styleable> FontFamilyFont, unable to find attribute android:fontVariationSettings
ERROR: In <declare-styleable> FontFamilyFont, unable to find attribute android:ttcIndex

I think that all the problem starting because when I installed the new sdk and installed the recommended items.

The b4a still say me that :

ObfuscatorMap.txt file created in Objects folder.
Compiling layouts code. (0.02s)
Organizing libraries. Error
Maven artifact not found: com.android.support/collections

So.. I install in the sdk manually the com.android.support:collections..
Then B4a ask me for other multiple "com.android.support/............."

I installed all manually, but now,.. the error of android:fontVariationSettings.. I don't know how to fix it.

This problem is only with some projects.

If I started a new project, this new project don't have the error

 

[DonManfred]

but now,.. the error of android:fontVariationSettings.. I don't know how to fix it.

Install ndroid 28 SDK with the SDK Manager and set the path t the ndroid.jar respectively in the Ide.

 

[nicieri]

I now the problem...

All the library FireBase.. is the cause of the problem

also the library "runtimepermissions"


But I need the library "runtimepermissions".. what can I do??

If I select this library.. the problem...

What is the path of android.jar under Tools - Configure Paths?

 

[jo1234]

Same here. I updated the Android SDK yesterday and immediately I could not compile my program anymore because com.android.support/collections is lacking.
I opened the SDK manager from B4A and installed the missing library, but then the next one was missing and so on.
I completely deinstalled all Android SDKs and deleted C:\Android. Then I downloaded the Android command line tools, opened the Sdk Manager and installed all recommended items.
Again I have com.android.support/collections lacking.

My paths:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181\bin\javac.exe
C:\Android\platforms\android-27\android.jar

thanks
Johannes

C:\Android\platforms\android-27\android.jar

Install the SDK 28.

2. Change the Android.jar to 28 in tools Configure Paths

 

[jo1234]

Thanks a lot DonManfred!
Unfortunately, I still get the error:
Organizing libraries. Error
Maven artifact not found: com.android.support/collections

After installing the SDK28 I got:
Warning: File C:\Users\Johannes\.android\repositories.cfg could not be loaded.

If I check for collections I see that it has not been installed.

I will test more....

 

[DonManfred]

If I check for collections I see that it has not been installed.

Did you install it manually? Do it. Maybe you need to find other new dependencies now. I for myself installed all new mavens with Version 28.0.0....

 

[jo1234]

Hmm.
I created an empty C:\Users\Johannes\.android\repositories.cfg file.
Then I installed manually all com.android.support files.
Now I can compile but the app crashes when it tries to use a JavaObject

Dim span As JavaObject
span.InitializeNewInstance("android.text.style.LeadingMarginSpan.Standard", Array(FirstAndRest(0), FirstAndRest(1)))
Dim jo As JavaObject = cs
jo.RunMethod("open", Array(span))

java.lang.RuntimeException: Method: open not found in: anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.CSBuilder$1

 

[DonManfred]

Sounds like a new issue which should be posted in a new Thread.

open not found in: anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.CSBuilder

CSBuilder seems not to have a open method.

 

[jo1234]

That code worked beautifully until yesterday (and is from Erel )

Edit: The code stopped working because I had removed the "CallSub3" from "AddLeadingMarginSpan". In Erel's example it is clearly stated that one should not do this....

It had nothing to do with the meanwhile fixed Android 28 issue.

 

[Erel]

Please start a new thread for the CSBuilder related issue.

 

[Erel]

I've updated the list of recommended items. As @DonManfred wrote, the path of android.jar under Tools - Configure Paths should point to android-28.

Hello

I had the same problem this morning, as per @DonManfred I did not have this in my sdk manager

I had to use the old Android SDK manager to install Platform 28 to solve the problem

Regards

John.

Strange. Make sure to use the latest version of Android SDK command line tools. The link is available in B4A installation page.

Yep, did that, had to rename the existing tools folder to tools-old as just over writing cause errors in the SDK manager.

Thanks for the help.
