JDeveloper and Android SDK Incompatibility

While writing a quick test ADF Mobile app to verify a new training pc, I ran into an ADF Mobile deployment error below:

Cannot run program "... platform-tools\aapt"
CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified.



This started happening because Android SDK Tools was updated from Rev. 21.1 to Rev 22. 


What revision 22 did was it moved aapt.exe to a different directory. The catch is that you can't configure or tell JDeveloper where to find this. 

To fix the issue, I took my SDK version back to Rev. 21.1, by extracting the Rev 21.1 zip and using that one. I did have to re-install/load the Android API, but 10 minutes and i was back in business. However, if you want use Rev 22, copy the contents of %SDK_Home%/build-tools/android-4.2.2 to %SDK_Home%/platform-tools. The only downside of this, is that Android SDK won't be able to maintain/update the platform-tools section. Which is why i'm using Rev 21.1 - theres nothing significant that you're missing by sticking with Rev. 21.1 vs Rev. 22.

Until Oracle changes how JDeveloper can find these libraries, you can use this workaround!

Update (05/21/2013): Per Chris Muir, ADF Product Manager, this issue has been officially logged at Oracle as a bug 168376554. They're working on it!
