Configuring Mobile Designer for the Android SDK

Note:

When specifying paths in the sdk.properties file, use a forward slash character, “/” or an escaped slash character, "\\", to separate folders, even when specifying Window paths.

Property and Setting

android.package

Set to the default package prefix that Mobile Designer uses when creating the final build for an Android device.

android.bin.dir.root

Set to the path of the location of the default Android SDK that you want Mobile Designer to use to compile mobile applications for Android devices.

For Windows: C:/Users/<your username>/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk

For Mac: /Users/<your username>/Library/Android/sdk

android.studio.temp.build.dir

With Windows PCs, the combination of file and folder names created during the build process may go over the character limit allowed (approx. 240 characters). This will cause unexpected build failures. Use the android.studio.temp.build.dir property to nominate a folder with a short path that can be used as a temporary build directory.

For Windows: C:/mdtmp

android.studio.install.dir

Nominates the install directory for the Android Studio IDE. This will be used to find templates and scripts used to create the Android Studio project structure.

For Windows: C:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio

For Mac: /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents

Note:

Using an API earlier than 21 may cause failed builds.
