Greetings jj

keystores have to be generated and are mentioned in the official tutorial by nocturne, i didnt mention it because its not something you need to have special setting or programs outside of gms to use, just fill in the form on the menu and clcik generate and it will do the rest for you.

as for android.bat, what os are you running on and have you tried running it as administrator?

yes this only covers 1.4, although i have been tinkering with gms2 i have not tried to use any of the export modules on it and am unsure if any of these notes will work.

good luck :)

I am unable to open the SDK Manager by clicking android.bat...When clicked, a terminal pops up and disappears but that's it. I have these tools downloaded: tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip, found at this link: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads, using your tutorial as well as this one: https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001368727-Setting-Up-For-Android...

I originally tried to use just your tutorial but then after doing everything, when I opened GameMaker and "check"ed the link to my SDK, it gave the error "KeyStone file not found".

Dude, I've just told you in the other thread you necro-bumped that you have downloaded Android Studio, you need the Command Line Tools.

If you don't want to listen then I won't waste my time trying to help you, but unless you download the right files then nothing will change.

Before stumbling across this thread, I spent several hours with trial and error getting everything working with the sdks included with Android Studio (including OpenJDK which Google seem to favour over Oracle JDK.

To manage which SDK components are installed with Android Studio, you need to actually run Android Studio, go to File->Settings

In the resulting dialog, go to Appearance & Behaviour->System Settings->Android SDK where you can access equivalent options to the standalone settings.

Android Studio puts the SDK/NDK components in your user directory, something like the following (assuming your home directory and program files are on C:\ and you've chosen default options):

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

If you install NDK it goes to:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\ndk-bundle

If you want to use the Android Studio JDK:

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre

(it says JRE but includes JDK)

Thank you dragon horse

yeah figuring out the details can be difficult but if possible you should avoid downloading all of android studio, its not needed.

were you able to get your system working?

Thanks, yes all working. I wanted Android Studio for other Android dev work so really wanted to get GameMaker working with the components downloaded by Android Studio rather than downloading everything twice. Nonetheless most of the setup is the same, so I would have shaved off some hours had I looked for this thread :)

Or you could just not use Android Studio and download the Command Line Tools like it specifically says in the official tutorial on the YYG website.

If you know what you are doing and use it like JML then fine, but the majority of users just want GM to work and cause themselves problems by not reading and following the instructions.

Thanks for this. I have had the Android module for ages, but not tried to use it. This will be very useful (assuming it works for Win10 too).

Anyone else having the issue where the BAT file does nothing? why did Google remove the installer, such a pain in the ass

Greetings,

android.bat should work you might need to run it as an admin though.

i updated this as of may 1. considering that gms1.4 is being phased out for 2.0 i am unsure if an update will be released for 1.4 beyond the most recent version (1.4.1763).

if no further update is released then these notes should work, please let me know if you have any problems.

thank you.

It tells you right in the error message what the problem is - and even gives a full sentence on what to do to fix the error...

Open SDK Manager, go to build tools 25.0.2 and accept the licence agreement when installing.

Has anyone had success with Android 8.0 Oreo (API 26)? I can build fine but the app crashes. App was working on previous versions of android (trying to send out a patch to the users).

Browse to
Code: 
C:\Users\kasm\Documents\GameMaker\Cache\war land defence\Android\Default\com.defencegg.tower\build\outputs\lint-results.html
and read the lint report, it will give you information on the errors.

Alternatively...
Code: 
add the following to your build script to proceed with errors:
...
android {
   lintOptions {
       abortOnError false
   }
}
...
