Building Android Apps

[Ralph DiMola]

Peter,

This is because the Version Code(standalone setting==>Android) is
numerically lower than the currently installed version. Either up the
Version Code or uninstall/reinstall the app.

Other issue you can run into: (Inconsistent Signing error)
1) When doing "test" installs if you move to another PC/Mac/VM the "Test
Signing"(standalone setting==>Android) key pair is specific to the box. To
solve this you need to either go back to the original OS or
uninstall/reinstall the app.
2) If you install a Signed version over a Test Signed version or vice versa
you will get the same error. The solution is the same. Either use the same
signing or uninstall/reinstall the app.

Subject: Building Android Apps

I've been building Android apps using my iMac for some time. However,
yesterday I started to get an error message "Failure
[INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]" when I try to build an Android
standalone app. Any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it?

Separately I'd like to be able to build Android apps on my 15in MacBook Pro
so I can do on-the-fly fixes when out and about. However I can't find
up-to-date instructions for installing Android support. Some searches
produce various suggestions including LiveCode tutorials about setting up a
Mac to work with LiveCode and Android but they all seem to be out of date
and contradict each other. In addition there's no advice for how to get to a
clean state of Java and Android.

Can anyone point to up-to-date details for setting up a Mac to create
Android apps with minimal installation of supporting technologies, both as a
clean set-up and how to clean up JDK and SDK support if necessary?

Thanks

Peter
