issues when trying Android

[hoseyjoe]

1. I added -lib haxeui-android to hxml and get error.
   haxe/ui/backend/android/behaviours/CompoundButtonChecked.hx:3: charactersacters 8-37 : Type not found : android.widget.CompoundButton

2. Also cli\templates\android-shared\local.properties doesn't exist in haxe-core new-component-branch. So I placed a blank file called local.properties to get past

3. TextInputBase didnt have 2 functions
   public function focus(){ }
   public function blur(){ }

4. Finally failed at
   Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
   File not found - *.xml
   Could Not Find ...\build\android\app\src\main\java*.xml
   -copied AndroidManaifest.xml up 1 folder into java folder every build and got
   FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• Changed gradle.properties to be org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx512m

5. gave up at
   :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED
   15 actionable tasks: 1 executed, 14 up-to-date

The android build its a lot more complex / involved... you need to create a gradle project essentially - there isnt a command line tool to do this that comes with the android SDK (there used to be when it was ant based). So haxeui comes with a tool that does it for you. So copying the templates is kind of what the tool does, but it actually does more like replacing certain things inside the output. My advice would be to use:

haxelib run haxeui-core create android in a blank folder - if the folder already has contents it may (incorrectly) create another Main.hx - ill have a check to see how "clever" it is at detecting that stuff.

PS: the focus / blur stuff should be fixed now

heres an example .hxml that is outputted by the haxeui tool, fyi:

-cp src

-main Main

-dce no
-D no-compilation

-lib haxeui-core
-lib haxeui-android
-lib hscript

-java-lib X:\AndroidSDK\platforms\android-21\android.jar

-java build/android/app/src/main/java

-cmd cd build/android
# so this is annoying - hxJava seems to always add "src/" infront of path names
# and thus this is windows specific
-cmd xcopy app\src\main\java\src app\src\main\java /s /e /y
-cmd del app\src\main\java\src\* /q /s
-cmd rmdir app\src\main\java\src /q /s

# this is annoying too - android resources seem to need to be in an assets/ dir, copy them
# css
-cmd xcopy app\src\main\java\*.css app\src\main\assets /s /y /i
-cmd del app\src\main\java\*.css /q /s
# xml
-cmd xcopy app\src\main\java\*.xml app\src\main\assets /s /y /i
-cmd del app\src\main\java\*.xml /q /s
# png
-cmd xcopy app\src\main\java\*.png app\src\main\assets /s /y /i
-cmd del app\src\main\java\*.png /q /s

-cmd gradlew build -x lint

Note that you will need an ANDROID_HOME env var setup (which i think should already setup as part of the SDK)

Finally, to run the .apk, you can use:

call haxelib run haxeui-core run android
call %ANDROID_HOME%/platform-tools/adb logcat System.out:I *:S
