Android Question Watchface library issues

[Dave G]

I've been trying to get a simple watchface app implemented. Have done them using Xamarin, but having issues with B4A and watchface library.

New project.
Add watchface libarary
Compile and get:
Convert byte code - optimized dex. Error

I used the sdk from the instructions and the ready to run sdk, to no avail.

Thanks in advance

Can you upload the project?

 

[Dave G]

Here you go. Not much to it.

You are missing things: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/watchface-library.74228/#content

Why don't you start with the example from that thread?

 

[Dave G]

First thanks to everyone that's contributed. I started with the example and that is where I got the exception (see below). I created a smaller project to eliminate anything outside of the watchface library. I've developed non-watchface apps with no problem and am very happy with B4X. I've previously developed mobile app using Windows Mobile, Xamarin, and NSbasic. I created a wear app using Xamarin, but it is very bloated and was looking for an environment that produced leaner apps, which B4X does very well. Thanks.

There are several examples in that thread. Please upload the project.

I did upload all three ZIPs and attempted to build the code in WatchFaceWear1_2.zip. As I mentioned above that is where I got the exception in the first place. I then created a skeleton project and got the same exception. Both referenced the warchface library that I Jetified. I have not problem with any other library, just watchface. Thanks

 

[Erel]

I see the problem now.
The library needs to be updated in order to support AndroidX: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/watchface-library.74228/post-704751

Hope that fixes the problem. Really would like to convert a Xamarin project to b4a. Thanks.
