Question

I’m working on a project with a group that is using Eclipse, but I’m using Netbeans. Up until today this wasn’t an issue. When updating from the repo they have added some source code as a library under a directory called /lib-src. When I try to compile the code I get an error that it can’t find certain packages… these are the packages under /lib-src.

Using NetBeans I can add the library as a folder so now the references to those packages are happy. However, I’m getting this new error when compiling:

BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 minute 25 seconds)

I can include the build-impl.xml file if you need it, but I don’t think that is main issue.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Is the dx.bat somehow involved, as in this thread?

It seems that Android built tools do not use ANT_OPTS variable while running dex tool.
Problem can be solved by uncommenting line in dx.bat batch file.

You can find it in android SDK folder under platforms/YOUR_PLATFORM/tools/dx.bat.
At the very end of file there is commented command to increase heap space.
Uncommenting this line should solve the problem. Line should looks like this:

set javaOpts=-Xmx256M
