Setting the classpath for Android

If you have created projects for Android applications or building blocks, the container "Arctis Android Runtime" was added to your project, containing classes that were useful for building applications with Android. Since these classes are stored in a plug-in and have no access to the Android libraries (residing in your installation of the Android SDK), some types could not be resolved.

We have therefore moved these classes into the project no.ntnu.item.arctis.library.android which you can obtain from the libraries website. Most likely, you already have it in your workspace. The container is then not needed anymore.

To update, do the following:
  • Delete the container for "Arctis Android Runtime". (Right-click in the Package Explorer, select Build Path / Remove from Build Path).

  • Make sure that any project that contains Android applications or building block refers to the Android library no.ntnu.item.arctis.library.android. Select the project in the Package Explorer, select Build Path / Configure Build Path, and add the no.ntnu.item.arctis.library.android in the project section.


Happy coding!
