Dexer problem

[deckameron]

Raymondkam,

Thank you for sharing this module!
Unfortunately I am having problems using it. The error below is showing during compilation.

[ERROR] : Failed to run dexer:

Hi deckameron,

I couldn't build the module without including the jar into the project, but when I do that it causes the error/conflict you encountered because the android v4 support library jar already exists in the Titanium SDK.

What you have to do is to rename the file android_support-v4.jar to something like android_support-v4-disabled.jar located in the Titanium SDK in the folder below (OS X)
/Users/(your username)/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/(your titanium version)/android/

I will update the README to include this.

@raymondkam Thank you for reply!
I have tried what you asked and unfortunately it didn't work for me.
I am using Windows 7 and Titanium SDK 3.3.0. If I use the module on my project I stops working and give the a black screen with the message "[App] stopped".
Do you know what could be causing this issue?
Could post a full working example inside with dist example folder, please?

Solution is very simple, just delete 'lib/android-support-v4.jar' from the project & distribution package both. It builds perfectly & distribution package works properly with the target project.

NOTE : Don't rename android_support-v4.jar at following path, because it may be used by some internal Titanium code or some other native modules.

/Users/(your username)/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/(your titanium version)/android/

@vatsalengg thank you for you help.
I have just tried it and it compiles ok but my application crashes when creating the refresh control.

Error: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class com.rkam.swiperefreshlayout.MySwipeRefreshLayout

I am posting my code here:

    var swipeRefreshModule = require('com.rkam.swiperefreshlayout');

    var window = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor: '#F2F2F2',
    fullscreen: false
});

    var tableView = Titanium.UI.createTableView({
    scrollsToTop: true,
    backgroundColor: 'transparent',
    minRowHeight: '80',
    top: '60',
    bottom: '0',
    separatorStyle: Titanium.UI.iPhone.TableViewSeparatorStyle.SINGLE_LINE
});

var swipeRefresh = swipeRefreshModule.createSwipeRefresh({
    view: tableView,
    top: '60',
    bottom: '0'
});
window.add(swipeRefresh);
    window.open();

@deckameron You have to include following jar in your project's build path
(android-sdk-path-here)/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/support-v4/19.1.0/support-v4-19.1.0.jar

This will surely compile & work properly, I am using this method & used generated build in other project.

[raymondkam]

@vatsalengg Thanks for figuring it out. I was suspecting that the jar included with the dist could be removed but I never had a chance to test it. I did need to include the jar within the project to build the module.

Edit: How did you add the jar to the project's build path? Is project referring to the Titanium project?

[deckameron]

@vatsalengg I am not sure I understood what you said.
I have to copy the (android-sdk-path-here)/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/support-v4/19.1.0/support-v4-19.1.0.jar file to my projects build folder, along with Android and Iphone folders?

[vatsalengg]

Hi @deckameron, sorry I misunderstood. Actually you have to build the module by yourself. Follow the below given steps to build & prevent the error mentioned by you.

• Download source of this module.
• Then in that source project, change paths in build.properties file to your relevant system paths.
• Then change minsdk to 3.3.0.GA in manifest file.
• Open Project's Java Build Path by right click > properties > Java Build Path, select Libraries tab.
• In that, change project's Java Build Paths' jars relevant paths in .
• Then, you have to add following jar in build path of project.

(android-sdk-path-here)/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/support-v4/19.1.0/support-v4-19.1.0.jar

• Delete 'lib/android-support-v4.jar'. Also, delete the same from distribution package's folder.

Thus, after clearing all errors in project, you should build this module & place distribution package in desired target project.

This method is working fine for me.

@raymondkam, I could not understand the reason of conflict with android-support-v4.jar.
In native android Java, if you develop library project (similar to module in titanium), then duplicate inclusion of android-support-v4.jar is properly handled by Android Development Toolkit plugin to prevent this error.

There should be better way in Titanium to handle this duplicate jar inclusion issue.

@raymondkam why don't you provide distributions with the android-support-v4 jar taken out?

[raymondkam]

@FokkeZB Hey sorry I recently changed dev environments from a Mac to Windows and I couldn't get it working on my desktop. I just got my laptop setup and now I can build. I can finally address this issue and the one about setting colours dynamically.
