Question

I’m experimenting with android terminal emulator(Terminal IDE) and trying to compile an Android project. I use the following script to compile.

#Build script

#cd into the home dir - this way it works when run from inside vim or any other folder
cd ~/projects/simple_search/

#Clean up
rm -rf build
rm -rf dist

#create the needed directories
mkdir -m 770 -p dist
mkdir -m 770 -p build/classes

#Rmove the R.java file as will be created by aapt
rm src/com/simple/search/R.java 

#Now use aapt
echo Create the R.java file
aapt p -f -v -M AndroidManifest.xml -F ./build/resources.res -I ~/system/classes/android.jar -S res/ -J src/com/simple/search

#cd into the src dir
cd src

#Now compile - note the use of a seperate lib (in non-dex format!)
echo Compile the java code
javac -verbose -cp ../libs/demolib.jar -d ../build/classes \
com/simple/search/AboutDialog.java \
com/simple/search/CustomWindow.java \
com/simple/search/DatabaseHelper.java \
com/simple/search/SearchResults.java \
com/simple/search/SimpleSearch.java \
com/simple/search/SuggestionProvider.java \
com/simple/search/Tag.java \
com/simple/search/TestAction.java \
com/simple/search/TestDetails.java

#Back out
cd ..

#Now into build dir
cd build/classes/

#Now convert to dex format (need --no-strict) (Notice demolib.jar at the end - non-dex format)
echo Now convert to dex format
dx --dex --verbose --no-strict --output=../simple_search.dex org ../../libs/demolib.jar

#Back out
cd ../..

#And finally - create the .apk
apkbuilder ./dist/simple_search.apk -v -u -z ./build/resources.res -f ./build/simple_search.dex 

#And now sign it
cd dist
signer simple_search.apk simple_search_signed.apk

cd ..

The script executes fine till cd build/classes/. But at dx --dex --verbose --no-strict --output=../simple_search.dex org ../../libs/demolib.jar I’m encountering the following error.

Now convert to dex format

What is wrong with the script? Can you point me in the right direction? Any smallest help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Remove ‘org’, as it doesn’t seem to be a file for your build.
The line should read.

dx --dex --verbose --no-strict --output=../simple_search.dex ../../libs/demolib.jar
