Android™ Runtime Development

[mwhiteman]

Hey everyone,

There is a new version of the Runtime for Android app development tools v 1.5.1. Pick up the latest Command Line tools here: http://developer.blackberry.com/android/tools/

Or if you are a user of the Eclipse Plug-in, you can update your environment as well. Additionally, we have a new update site for Eclipse. You're old one will still work, but you should update your site to this: http://developer.blackberry.com/android/downloads/eclipseplugin/

This is a smaller tooling update to provide general bug fixes and support for non-ASCII asset names for use in your ported application.

Cheers,

Matt

Hello yurong,

Thanks for the feedback. We're getting the dev team to look into the issue. As a work around, you can still use blackberry-signer to sign your bar files.

I have exactly the same issue.

Have you installed the Andriod SDK and BlackBerry PlugIn for Android Development tools? There is link here of how to install them, http://developer.blackberry.com/android/documentation/install_plugin_prerequisites_1895476_11.html.

Just to say I'm getting this exact same error too when trying to sign bar files.

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback. We are aware of the issue and will address it in the next release.

If you are using the Command-line tools, as a work around you can use BlackBerry-Signer to sign your applications. Additionally, you can use our Eclipse Plug-in to build and sign your applications.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi, is there an estimated release date for the next version of the tools?

Hi,

If you need sign bar, you can use older tools. You can extract files from:
