Hi Ray et al.
Thank you for bringing the in-correct information in the Android lesson
to our attention. I have amended this to reflect the up to date layout
of the oracle website.
If you have installed the Java JDK and then configured the Android SDK
according to the "how-do-i-become-an-android-developer" lesson then you
should receive no errors when attempting to set LiveCodes mobile support
preferences.
We recently created an general setup video for one of our academies. I
have extracted the Android lesson from this and uploaded it here-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83qrKr9bR3M&feature=youtu.be
Although this video has been created on the Mac platform, the only major
difference is not needing to install the JDK when working on a Mac. The
remaining setup is almost identical across platforms.
Let me know how you get on with the video and if you still experience
issues with Android Setup
Kind Regards,
Neil Roger

I'm attempting to follow these steps to set up my system for some
Android dev work:

The first is this link to install the Java SDK:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
but there's no way to "click the first button in a row of four" since
there's no row of four buttons. Evidently the web page has changed.
There's an icon of a coffee cup but no icon of "only the word Java" as
per the Livecode tutorial steps.
I guessed and went with the Java Platform (JDK) 7u40 download and on
the following screen I chose the Windows x64 variant of "Java SE
Development Kit 7u40" for my 64 bit machine. This download did not
give me an installer or a wizzard as Livecode's steps detail. It
simply gave me compressed files. I decompressed them and continued
'guessing around' on my own. In doing so I was able to create a
virtual Android, but when I try to set the "Location of my Android
development SDK root" in Livecode's preferences it complains the
folder I've chosen is not a valid Android SDK folder regardless of
which folder in that area I choose.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ray
