• Open JDK (on a new computer that is using the Android generation).
• The Android SDK of Google,
• Gradle.

• in the wizard for generating the Android application.
• in the options of WINDEV Mobile ("Proxy" tab).

Overview

• The JDK: The JDK (Java Development Kit) distributed by Oracle is used to compile the generated Java files.
• The Android SDK of Google: The Android SDK (Software Development Kit) is a set of files and applications distributed by Google in order to allow the compilation of applications for the Android operating system.
• Versions 21 and later
  Gradle: This tool is required to compile and generate Android applications.
  New in version 21
  Gradle: This tool is required to compile and generate Android applications.
  Gradle: This tool is required to compile and generate Android applications.
• On some devices, additional files must be installed in order for the device to be properly detected by the SDK and WINDEV Mobile.

Android SDK

• Click "Download the SDK Now".
• Download the SDK for Windows.

1. Decompress the downloaded file in a folder at the root of drive "C:" to avoid a Windows virtualization. For example: "C:\Android\".
2. Open the folder with the Windows explorer.
3. Run "SDK Manager.exe". This program is used to install the existing versions of the Android SDK as well as their updates.

• Display the properties of working computer.
• In the "Advanced" tab, click the "Environment variables" button.
• Select "PATH" in the system variables and click "Modify".
• Add the full path of "Tools" directory.

• Click "Settings" in the list on the left of window.
• Check "Force https://... source to be fetched using http://".
• Click "Save & Apply".

Version of Android SDK required for WINDEV Mobile

• update Android SDK Tools.
• installer the two following add-ons: "Android Support Repository" and "Google Repository".

Versions 23 and later
Remarks:

• From August 2018, Google imposes a level of target API corresponding to 26 (Android 8) for deploying applications in Google Play Store from August 2018. This level of target API defines the features that can be included in the application and the security rules that must be applied to it. To comply with this constraint, all you have to do is recompile the Android application with WINDEV Mobile 23 Update 3 of WINDEV Mobile.
  Remark: This change of version triggers evolutions and different operating modes for the Android applications. Via the Android Framework of WINDEV Mobile, these changes are automatically taken into account, as soon as they are documented or predictable.
• Change of behavior for the notifications: From Android 8, the notifications of Android applications must be added into a "channel". A "channel" corresponds to a group of notifications with its own setting: importance, vibration, sound, ... The user can enable or disable all channel notifications and modify these different parameters.
  From WINDEV Mobile 23 Update 3, the notifications displayed by an Android application generated by WINDEV Mobile are automatically added into a channel corresponding to the priority of notification. The notification parameters (vibration, sound and LED display) can be modified according to the priority of notification and modifications performed by the end user on these parameters.
