Silly JDeveloper - Android SDK Location Change

I was briefly tricked by this for a few minutes. And there's bound to be at least one other person out there whom will get tricked as well. This is for you :)

It appears Android made a slight change in their file structure. As a result, it sort of tricks JDeveloper and otherwise you as the developer, when its time to configure your Android SDK settings.

When selecting "Android SDK Location" under "Preferences > ADF Mobile > Platforms > Android", you are asked to select "%Root_Drive%/Android/android-sdk" for the location, like for example "D:\Android\android-sdk".

For some of you, selecting the suggested path by JDeveloper, you'll be greeted with an error message "Unable to locate Android SDK in the specified location %some_path%. Do you want to use the specified Android SDK location anyway?"




This is because, I had to select the "Android/android-sdk/sdk" directory, instead of "Android/android-sdk", as shown below.



Selecting the proper SDK location, lets you continue error free :)

Have fun ADF Developers!
