JAVA_HOME path variable

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I am currently using an older version of Corona so that I can run my app on a device using an ARMv6 processor. However, when I go to build, a message says:

Jarsigner.exe not found. To enable builds:
(1) Set the JAVA_Home environment variable to ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_27’ (without quotes)
(2)Add ‘;%JAVA_HOME%\bin’ to the end of your PATH environment variable

I have done all of these steps and yet it still wont build.
Why does this happen

(I tried to find the jarsigner.exe but it isnt in my Java file) [import]uid: 116264 topic_id: 20401 reply_id: 320401[/import]

We do not provide any support for versions of Corona that are this old.

Hopefully another user who is using the old builds may have some advice.

Just a thought. You may have installed JDK 1.7 which is not compatible with Android. You need to remove that and install JDK 1.6.

Hi,
I am trying to create apps for ARM6 systems with my students. You say that you have found a way. Please could you let me know which build you are using etc. and how you managed it.

Robert - you can use this old build; https://developer.anscamobile.com/downloads/coronasdk-2011268

BUT - be fully aware that we provide ZERO support for it so if you choose to use it please do not post about any issues it has, etc. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 20401 reply_id: 84596[/import]

Hi,

I don’t think that I ever said thank you - well THANK YOU VERY MUCH! All I can say is that I am working through some of the excellent ‘tutorial’ videos that Ansca has uploaded. My ARM6 phone is Corona-ing away. I think it is just wonderful! All I have to do now is to create my unit to teach next year and that will mean that we give up teaching VB.net and start teaching Corona SDK/LUA instead. Again a big thank you!

A request? Would it be possible to somewhere have an area where people can say which phones are compatible as poor souls like me would find this helpful.

But Ansca are just wonderful people!

Hey Robert - no worries :slight_smile: I think it’s great that you are looking at teaching Corona/Lua.

RE the phones, we have a few ongoing discussions around the place but there’s also lists about online.

Are you looking for lists of ARM6 devices or ARMv7 devices? I imagine 7 but do not wish to assume.

Let me know and will do my best to provide some info.

I was looking for a list of compatible phones - that would mean a definitive list of ARMv7 device.

I assume that the ones listed in the simulator are not the only ones that uses these processors. I would have thought that there are a lot of ,people out there that would appreciate this help. Maybe some form of wiki where users could add their phone could be useful.

This isn’t a complete list but several are here; https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android

Note the device needs to run Android 2.2+

Two other options not on the list (AFAIR) are the HTC Incredible S and the Sidekick 4G.
