Facebook v4 Compilation Error

Solar2D Native builds
#1

Hi guys,

My project is able to compile if I don’t add facebook. I get the apk file and able to use it on a device.

I have been following the tutorial at https://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/plugin/facebook-v4/index.html and also sent the command ‘android update project  --path /Applications/CoronaEnterprise/Plugins/sdk-facebook/android/4.5.0/facebook/’

I get the compilation error below when I "./build.sh $ANDROID_HOME

Any ideas ?

Ah. It looks like it’s failing on all the Diamond operators. These were introduced in Java 7 and thus, you’ll need to download a Java 7 JDK to compile the Facebook SDK source yourself.

#3

Dear Ajay, Thanks for the info. I followed the Enterprise setup guide here (https://docs.coronalabs.com/native/android/prereqs.html) and it uses Java 6. I am using the Facebook sdk 4.5.0 (provided in the Enterprise zip file). Does this mean the other Enterprise users are also facing the same issue, or is it just my setup ? Thanks

#4

The guide needs updating it seems. Other users would encounter the same issue building with FB v4. You’ll need to grab Java 7 from Oracle to resolve the issue as Ajay stated.

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys.

For those encountering the same problem, here is how to solve it.

  1. Download Java 7 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html and get ‘jdk-7u79-macosx-x64.dmg’. I am using MacAir 2014.

  2. (Optional) Read through the installation instructions here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html

  3. After installation, it will look like this :

    Before (Java 6). Current Corona Enterprise tutorial uses Java 6 : $ java -version java version “1.6.0_65” Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-468-11M4833) Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-468, mixed mode) After (Java 7): $ java -version java version “1.7.0_79” Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_79-b15) Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)

.

  1. (Optional) Ensure your “android/AndroidManifest.xml” file is setup correctly, or else there will be runtime error on the device. I know it looks messy, but it should look something like that. Note only the facebook items below.

    <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?> <manifest xmlns:android=“http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” package=“com.xxx.getWifi” android:versionCode=“1” android:versionName=“1.0” android:installLocation=“auto”> <!-- Set the minimum and target Android API levels here to inform the app store what OS versions this app supports. Set the “minSdkVersion” to at least API level 10 (aka: Android 2.3.3 “Gingerbread”) which is the minimum Corona supports. Set the “targetSdkVersion” to the API level that you compile with. Set to a high level to avoid compatibility mode. --> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=“10” android:targetSdkVersion=“21”/> <!-- Permissions required by this app. --> <uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.INTERNET”/> <!-- Informs the app store that this app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 as a minimum.

. 

  1. (Optional) If you are facing a compilation error stating “(use -source 7 or higher to enable diamond operator)”, then you will need to update the “/android/build.xml” file. Just add these 2 lines before “<import file="${sdk.dir}/tools/ant/build.xml" />”

    <property name=“java.target” value=“1.7” /> <property name=“java.source” value=“1.7” /> <import file="${sdk.dir}/tools/ant/build.xml" />

Hi mlhdyx,

In your AndroidManifest.xml, what is the targetSdkVersion set to? According to the Android docs, the attribute android:layout_alignStart is defined starting with API Level 17.

Hi @Ajay,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, It was 16. But when I change it to 21, the error is still there.

Related settings in AndroidManifest.xml
