I have downloaded the android works software and used it to install all the plugins and the environment variables are already set so I don’t uderstand why these errors keep apperaing

2

anyone have any clue how to get rid of these errors?

3

I have that last error (not the rest) and have been trying to figure it out as well. Really could use help. It’s worth noting i’m getting this with a default project, so it’s not due to anything I added.

4

Hi ,

What steps are you taking to reproduce this on your end? What template did you choose to base your project on? Does this occur in a clean, blank project with no additional content or is it limited to one project?

5

Hey thanks for the reply.
I am using the 3rd person template without any starter content and its target class hardware is mobile/Tablet. It is a blank project that runs fine when i run it on my desktop.

thanks for the help!

6

glad to see I’m not the only one with this problem :stuck_out_tongue:

7

What specific model of tablet? Is it android or iOS?

8

If it’s any help, in my case i’m building for ETC2 inside Unreal 4.9.2. I’ve also tried it in 4.8.3 with the same result. It does not even put anything inside my target folder (besides the empty ETC2 subfolder).

I actually have one hypothesis for my problem: My graphics card just died. The packaging needs to compress the textures and so I THINK it could be because i don’t have enough video memory (also I have 16GB of RAM on my computer). However, the logs don’t say anything to that effect.

I’ve attached my log as well.link text

9

I’m currently trying to build it for android. I tried to build on HTC M8 and Samsung galaxy but to no avail the same error messages popped up. My graphics card is Nvidia 770 with 4GB of dedicated DDR5 RAM and 8 GB of DDR3 RAM for the rest of my system and my graphic’s card can borrow RAM from the extra 8GB when needed so it should be more than enough to be able to build for androids
Thanks

10

I also tried to build using ECT1 and ETC2

11

Which Samsung galaxy specifically? What steps did you take to build it? Have you checked to make sure you have the proper provisions and SDK to be able to build to the devices?

12

I followed the steps exactly outlined by the UE 4 documents to setting up my android device here the link to the document
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/Android/GettingStarted/1/index.html

I tried to build the project for Samsung Galaxy S4 and S3

13

So for me I hadn’t followed this tutorial but now I did and it works. I was trying to package the app using the folders I was using for development in Unity. HOWEVER, the mysterious thing is that in the Project Settings, under Android SDK, It’s still using the path to the SDK,JDK, Apache ANT (removed NDK in desperation yesterday) I was using for unity, not the ones that were installed by AndroidWorks.

And yet somehow it’s definitely because of that install that it worked. Sooo… maybe try downloading the sdk,ndk, jdk, ant as recommended by Unity (it’s actually the steps laid out by Oculus)?

14

Thanks for tip I’ll try it tonight and see how it goes

15

I followed the steps laid out by Oculus and it fixed all the older errors but now I’ve got these errors.

Please help me

thanks

I found the problem I had a space in the directory, I’ve fixed that issue but now I still have the problem that the ant.bat file from the NDK file wont find the build.xml file from the SDK file in the Tools subdirectory in “ant” folder how do I write the file directory so I can tell where the build.xml file is for the ant.bat

17

heres the log file

18

Did you try the steps listed here? Android Development Basics for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation

Specifically, check the sections on your NDK and Ant files, there is some information that may be useful to you.

19

I have looked at the steps but to no avail, it didn’t help. I narrowed down the problem being that ant.bat from the NDK file will not locate the build.xml file from the SDK file so How do I fix this

20

Can you post a screenshot of your android SDK and the full logs in a .txt file so I can take a look?
