Running Forge App from Eclipse

by **Joril** » 09 Jul 2014, 22:17

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to run the new Android Forge App from Eclipse (inside an AVD of course). I imported the Maven projects and I get no errors inside the "Problems" tab, but when I launch the app I get a "Forge has stopped" and LogCat shows this:

Code: Select all: FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{forge.app/forge.app.Main}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: forge.app.Main

I think I'm missing something obvious... :/
Many thanks!

(Eclipse 4.4 with OpenJDK 7 on Lubuntu 14.04)

You can't run forge-gui-android straight from Eclipse unfortunately due to its complex dependencies. If you want to just test something quick, you can run forge-gui-mobile-dev instead to open the app in a window on your desktop computer. Otherwise you'll need to run forge-gui-android as a Maven application with the following goals to build the .apk and deploy to your connected device or emulator:

-U -B clean -P android-debug install android:undeploy android:deploy

Note that you may need to first do a mvn clean install on the other modules in order to see their changes in effect on the deployed app.

Ok, so I did a "Run as maven clean" on every project and then "Run as maven build" specifying as "goals"

Code: Select all: -U -B clean -P android-debug install android:undeploy android:deploy

and here's what I get:

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious but I'm not familiar with Maven

I've made some progress... I did a "maven clean install" on the ForgeLocal project and it compiled everything successfully. Then I did the "android-debug" command above and now I get

Looks like I had to add "forge-gui-mobile" to the ForgeLocal pom.xml... Now I'm getting a "No Android SDK path could be found" but I think this will be easier to fix

Thanks for your patience!

After adding a "android.sdk.path" property to the forge-gui-android pom.xml, deploying to the AVD works
