Hi all, I have updated the nbandroid 1.1 to 1.5. Now all is changed and I don't find a way to build an unsigned APK. With nbandroid 1.1 to create an unsigned APK I used to add this lines: <target depends="init,-package-res-and-assets,-package-res-no-assets,-package-dex" name="-no-sign"> <exec executable="${apkbuilder}" failonerror="true"> <arg value="${basedir}/${dist.apk}"/> <arg value="-u"/> <arg value="-z"/> <arg value="${basedir}/${dist.apk}_"/> </exec> <delete file="${dist.apk}_"/> </target> <target depends="init,compile,-pre-jar,-dex,-package-res-and-assets,-package-res-no-assets,-package-dex,-no-sign,-post-jar" description="Export unsigned package" name="unsigned"/> to the project.xml file, how can I create an unsigned apk now? There is also a warningwhen I build my project: "C:\Program Files (x86)\android-sdk-windows\tools\ant\main_rules.xml:384: warning: 'includeantruntime' was not set, defaulting to build.sysclasspath=last; set to false for repeatable builds" What is this? Please help. |

Hi, thanks for the reply Radim, I really appreciate it and I really appreciate your excellent work, we are proud to use Android SDK into Netbeans and this is thanks to you. Now I don't remember if I used nbandroid 1.1 or 0.11, I used the latest available from here: http://kenai.com/downloads/nbandroid/updates.xml Now I'm using the latest 1.5 from here http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbandroid/lastStableBuild/artifact/build/updates/updates.xml But I haven't understood how to use this plugins. In the previous version, when I build a project I can see the apk file into the dist directory, adding some lines into the project.xml file was enough to create an unsigned apk into the dist directory. Sincerely now I cannot understand how to "automatically" create an unsigned APK after a clean and build from netbeans. Now with the new plugin I find three files in the BIN directory: myproject.ap_ myproject-debug.apk myproject-debug-unaligned.apk This files have really different size with the one generated with previous plugin, it is way much bigger. What is the unsigned APK here? Hope that someone can help. Thanks! |

Hi, I used to do the same thing for building an unsigned apk and I had the same trouble with the new 1.5 version of the android plugin. My current workaround is to : - unzip the ap_ in a directory - add classes.dex from the bin directory into the same directory - zip all files of the directory. - rename zipped file as .apk This produce an usigned apk that can be signed to upload to the android market. I hope this help. Best regards Pierre http://www.androidsoft.org |

Hi, thanks for the reply. I haven't understood why we need to do all this to create an unsigned apk, this is not acceptable for me and it doesn't seem really "efficient". Is there any possibility to get the "good old way to create unsigned apk" again? |

What you want to do is to run 'ant release'. One way how to do it directly from the IDE is to:
It is possible that we can enhance the build.xml node in Android projects to show some important targets. Long term we need to add project configurations. Then you'll be able to switch between debug and release config for building and testing. -Radim |

Many thanks for the help radim, I really, really appreciate it. Can you tell me please why the unsigned APK now is a lot bigger than the APK generated with previous plugin? The APK generated with previous plugin was 188KB, now it is 201KB. Can you tell me why please? Thanks! |

thanks for the reply, again. this is really strange. zipalign was done automatically with the previous plugin, right? |

Do you know if zipalign was done automatically in the previous plugin version 1.1? I noticed an increments in size of 10% in other apps when compiling using the latest plugin. This is strange and I can't find a reason of this increment, now I'm not really confident to put this APK in "production". Can I be sure that is all ok? No idea on the reason of this big increment in size? |

is there someone who can tell me if previous nbandroid 0.11 zip aligned the apk automatically? I'm not confident anymore of releasing production software with this plugins, too large deviations of apk size from one release to another, and the worst thing is the no one knows why
