RE: Could not compile application class
This is an error I have received for Android builds a couple of times. It is usually caused by an update to the Android SDK. Do you have the Android build checked?

Re: Could not compile application class
Hi Andrew, The could not compile application class message will genreally occur when you are trying to build for Android and there is a discrepancy in your Android SDK/Java setup. In your message you mention that you are trying to build for an iPhone so it could be that you have Android checked in your stacks standalone application settings.

Re: Could not compile application class
Nope, only iPhone checked. I went back to 6.6.5 and it compiled fine, so the error only happens in LC6.7 and LC 7. Odd, hopefully its just a one off and will work itself out somehow, its only happening in one app, everything else compiles fine.

Re: Could not Compile Application Class
Mark, Matthias, Thanks to both of you guys for your help today! I ended up with success using both of your ideas. Here it is: 1) I installed the Android SDK as Mark suggested. This also required me to install the Java SDK. 2) I used the SDK Manager to update to Android 2.2 (API 8) as Mark suggested. 3) I downloaded the zipAlign.exe file and moved it over to the Tools folder as Matthias suggested. Finally, I realized none of this could happen as long as I installed the Android SDK in the suggested default location of Programs Files (x86) since they're read-only folders, so I uninstalled and re-installed in my own, write-enabled area. I was then able to set the path in Livecode's preferences and build an Android standalone. Now, can anybody tell me how to get my Hello World standalone over to my Samsung Galaxy S5, 4.4.2 phone?

Mark, Thanks for this suggestion. I'm using Windows 8.1 so the Android File Transfer utility doesn't apply and their website simply says it's not necessary for Windows users.

No need for apologies at all:) Your suggestion actually got me pointed in the right direction. Regarding the bigger picture, do you think anybody in Edinburgh would be interested in putting together instructions and steps for this? It seems to me we're really discouraging newcomers with the myriad of steps, downloads, configurations, and hit-or-miss setup hoops needed to simply save a Hello World app to a phone.
