The Preferred Android SDK/Java SDK directory was not used. But WHY? [Found the problem]

[hutiwephy]

Type: Bug

Setup

Install Everything acording to instruction except Android Studio

On Android Studio:

• set the ANDROID_HOME to some custom path
• Install all the requirements
  • platforms/android-33 installed
  • build-tools/32.0.0 installed
  • platform-tools installed
  • cmdline-tools/7.0 installed
• Install Optional requirements
  • system-images/android-33/google_apis/x86_64 installed
• Setup Custom paths in VSCode settings
• Create a Project
• Configure Build to Android according to instructions
• Build & Debug (Press F5)
• Error (No explanation Given)

Why the custom directory

multi-user and space saving (Blame on Google)

Why not using Visual Studio

Can't use VS2022 I'm required to use VS2019 due to NodeJS node-gyp incompatibilities and the pain it is to reconfigure. Also SPACE SAVING and where are the damned installers for the 2019 build tools Microsoft?

As expected works like a Microsoft Product!

PS: I've already tried the Pre-Release version

VS bug #1902857

Found the problem!

apparently when running VSCode replaces the char " with ' and MSBuild doesn't like it

this:

dotnet build -t:Run -p:Configuration=Debug -f net7.0-android -p:AdbTarget=<target> -p:AndroidAttachDebugger=true -p:AndroidSdbTargetPort=<adb port> -p:AndroidSdbHostPort=<adb port> -p:AndroidSdkDirectory='<sdkpath>' <csproj path>

should be this:

dotnet build -t:Run -p:Configuration=Debug -f net7.0-android -p:AdbTarget=<target> -p:AndroidAttachDebugger=true -p:AndroidSdbTargetPort=<adb port> -p:AndroidSdbHostPort=<adb port> -p:AndroidSdkDirectory="<sdkpath>" <csproj path>

the affected arg is: -p:AndroidSdkDirectory='<sdkpath>'
