Hello everyone, just bought Monkey today and I am now going through the various targets just to test them. So far I have HTML5, GLFW and Flash working, although I have been struggling to even get android to appear as a target on the drop down menu. I have followed the instructions here (http://blitz-wiki.appspot.com/The_Android_target), installed API 16 with the SDK Manager and created an android virtual device. All the paths match what is in the winnt config (ANT,Java, andoird SDK)

I have never created android apps before so any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jesse

Can you post your config file, if you can't even select Android something is wrong in your config...

I have ANT in C:\ant\
and android SDK in C:\android-sdk-windows\
and java 7 jdk 32bit in default location

I don't think it is an issue with java as I can build to flash fine

Could you try adding the absolute paths to your tools?

eg:

ANT_PATH="${SYSTEMDRIVE}\apache-ant-1.8.4"
ANT_PATH="${SYSTEMDRIVE}\ant"
ANT_PATH="c\ant"
...
ANDROID_PATH="C:\android-sdk-windows"

Setting the path for Java seemed to fix it, which is odd because according to the monkey wiki Java is required for flash which I can build fine. Anyway thanks for the help.
