Question

I am trying to configure matrix project to run my apk on different emulator configuration but when I tryied to use “Google Inc.:Google APIs:16” as my os target the project was not build. when I try to build on Android 4.1 it works, but I need to use google api to run monkey on it. What should I input to matrix with os parameter to create emulator with google API
??

Triggering ldpi,Google Inc.:Google APIs:16,WVGA ldpi,Google Inc.:Google

Looks like you’re using Windows, which doesn’t support filenames with colons in them, and so Jenkins is failing when trying to create a unique directory for each build combination.

Currently your OS version axis contains values like “Google Inc.:Google APIs:16“, and the “Android OS” field probably contains something like “${os}“.

Instead, try changing the axis to contain only the API levels, e.g. “16“, and change the “Android OS” field to be “Google Inc.:Google APIs:${os}“.

That way, the directory names created by Jenkins won’t contain colons.
