Issues w/ uiDebug on $ tns android run --emulator

[N3ll]

From @DenverCoder-9 on January 2, 2016 2:6

I am trying to get the sample-Groceries app to run on my Macbook. I've followed all of the Installation instructions and have verified that TNS Doctor returns no issues, my Android SDK is installed, I've configured a virtual device, and setup the correct paths for ANDROID_HOME. but I still cannot successfully run an app.

My issue seems to come back to a process called uiDebug, I'll get to about 80% and then it fails every single time. I'm not very familiar with Java, hence the reason I'm trying to use NativeScript so I don't have a clue how to fix it.

Here is the output I see:

:dexNativescript-telerik-uiDebug

I am completely out of ideas so any help someone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I have done a little bit more digging and I can see in the merger.xml file the following info:

I attempted to checkout /Users/DenverCoder/Dev/nativescript/sample-Groceries/platforms/android/src/nativescript-telerik-uiDebug/assets and it does not exist.

I do not have this directory: nativescript-telerik-uiDebug so the assets directory is unavailable and I presume this is where my error begins...

I hit this issue as well and I’m not sure what’s up. I get basically the exact same error:

Execution failed for task ':dexNativescript-telerik-uiDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

I’m using version 1.5.1 of the Android runtime.

[tjvantoll]

I was also able to recreate the issue with version 1.5.0 of the Android runtime. Here’s the full log https://gist.github.com/tjvantoll/fdeac9c3c09415e0c7c4

[Plamen5kov]

the problem is there are two .jar files that define the same type.

that means that probably some .jar file in the node_modules is in conflict with another .jar file in another plugin or dependency.

solution is to find the duplicated type and delete one of the .jar files it is in.

[teobugslayer]

To add to @Plamen5kov's answer, often this happens with widgets.jar. A quick fix would be to delete the platform/android/libs/widgets.jar file

[blagoev]

There is an issue how android build is handling dev dependencies and is already logged here https://github.com/NativeScript/android-runtime/issues/323

[blagoev]

As a workaround for the specific issue remove jscs from devDependencies of your project

[Daxito]

I just installed nativescript-telerik-ui and now I am getting almost the same error, but this one is complaining about:

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'.

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':processNativescript-telerik-uiDebugResources'.

  com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/24.3.3/build-tools/22.0.1/aapt'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Is there an issue with this plug in maybe???

[teobugslayer]

@Daxito,

This seems like an unrelated problem. At any rate we are trying to reproduce it and will write back when we have more information on the matter.

[Daxito]

Ok, let me know if you need more info from my side, I don't have anything special, just the latest version of nativescript and the latest version of the plugin, trying to use the SideDrawer.

[ginev]

Hello @Daxito Can you share with us the exact steps you have performed to reproduce the problem? I don't seem to be able to reproduce it on my side and a little assistance from you will be great!

Thanks!

[Daxito]

Can I just give a copy of my project? it only contains one or two views, if so, how? it is on my local pc.

[Daxito]

Ok, this is the log from beginnnig to end, from the time I create the project, add platforms, add plugin and try to run using my attached android device, I dont have to even try to use the plugin, but FYI if I dont add the plugin it works fine.

Runs your project on a connected Android device or in a native Android emulator, if configured. This is shorthand for prepare, build and deploy. While your app is running, prints the output from the application in the console.

Options

* --device - Specifies a connected device on which to run the app. 

* --emulator - If set, runs the app in a native emulator for the target platform, if configured. When set, you can also set any other valid combination of emulator options as listed by $ tns help emulate android. 

* --release - If set, produces a release build. Otherwise, produces a debug build. When set, you must also specify the --key-store-* options.

* --key-store-path - Specifies the file path to the keystore file (P12) which you want to use to code sign your APK. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.

* --key-store-password - Provides the password for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.

* --key-store-alias - Provides the alias for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.

* --key-store-alias-password - Provides the password for the alias specified with --key-store-alias-password. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.

* --justlaunch - If set, does not print the application output in the console. 

Attributes

* <Device ID> is the index or name of the target device as listed by $ tns device android

* <Emulator Options> is any valid combination of options as listed by $ tns help emulate android

Hello @Daxito ,

Can you please check which Android platforms you have installed on your computer? You can do this by running the Android SDK Manager. I think you're missing API Level 23. Thanks!

[Daxito]

I already had installed API Level from 17 to 23, but yes it was related to the API Level, my environment variable for the SDK was pointing to another folder, once I set the folder that the SDK Manager reported it worked! Thank you!

[ginev]

Sure, no problem!

[Ivshti]

@ginev is it possible that tns doctor checks for stuff like that? I ran into the same issue. It was resolved by installing SDK 23 from the manager, but tns doctor did not report any issues beforehand.

[ginev]

@teobugslayer probably will give more insights about this?

[rosen-vladimirov]

Hi, tns-doctor command checks for the required ANDROID_HOME and all required Android tools. However we do not require SDK 23 as mandatory. Android projects should work fine with API Level 22. In case a plugin requires API Level 23 explicitly, CLI cannot check this as it's external source. So in case you had SDK 22 and all other required tools, tns doctor will not print any warnings :)

Hope this explains the case :)
