Build Failed

anonymous_user_c1d80dee · April 7, 2016, 10:30pm

I am extremely new to developing VR. I have been following the directions on the Unreal Tutorials for the Samsung Gear VR project creation. I have updated to 4.11.1 and I believe I have followed all the steps necessary. During the packaging and deployment step using Android (ETC2) I am getting the following error:

MainFrameActions: Packaging (Android (ETC2)): BUILD FAILED
MainFrameActions: Packaging (Android (ETC2)): C:\NVPACK\android-sdk-windows ools\ant\build.xml:649: The following error occurred while executing this line:

MainFrameActions: Packaging (Android (ETC2)): BUILD FAILED

As I am still learning and very new I am not sure how to fix this. The phone that I am using is a Samsung S6 Edge with Android version 6.0.1 (Marshmallow). I have gone through all the prerequisites needed to start this process and I am hitting a wall. I am not sure if my folder structure is correct either. I was able to get my OSIG file and I put it in a folder called assets as instructed but it also talks about putting the asset folder in a folder path of \Engine\Build\Android\Java\assets. Is this folder structure something I need to create or is it existing and I simply need to place the assets folder in it? Any information to help a poor newbie like me would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if there is more information that I need to provide in order to help solve this problem.

Hi ClintVought,

The OSIG file may be placed either in Engine/Build/Android/Java/assets (you need to create the assets directory) if you want it for all your projects, or better place it in your project’s Build/Android/assets directory. The contents of Engine/Build/Android/Java and the project’s Build/Android get combined during the packaging step into Intermediate/Android/APK.

It is a bit hard to see the actual error since I don’t know which build.xml file you have (it changes depending on installed version). The best way to look for issues from running ant is to do so manually after a failed package. Go to your project’s Intermediate/Android/APK directory in a command prompt run “ant debug”. This may show more information about the error not caught in the log (notice for build.xml:649 it said error occurred while executing this line but doesn’t show the line).

Hi Chris. Thank you for getting back to my. I ran the “ant debug”, below is my result. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe this is a bug in the build tool. I see you are on 24.0.0 rc2. I’m using 23.0.3. Did you install the Preview Channel Build-tools? Uninstall them and use only the proper versions. Android SDK Build-tools 23.0.3 is the latest. Run “SDK Manager.exe” in NVPACK/android-sdk-windows.

anonymous_user_c1d80dee · April 11, 2016, 2:52pm

OK so I did as you suggested and uninstalled the Preview Channel Build tools and have the 23.0.3 installed. My build still failed but I received a different error. That may be a fail but I think its a fail in the right direction. If you have a chance could you tell me what you think about the error below?

This may be due to using the wrong SDK API level setting. Did you set it to someone higher than android-22? android-23, android-24, and latest currently will not work if you have these versions of the SDK installed. Try setting it to “matchndk” instead in Android SDK project settings.
