Android service compilation fails

[ertank 27]

Hello,

 

Using Delphi 10.3.3. I have no problem compiling Android apps. I just needed to use a service to test something and I failed to compile. Below is error message I receive on a new Android Service project:

[Exec Error] The command ""\bin\javac" -d "C:\Users\Ertan\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\Projects\JavaClasses\Project2" -Xlint:deprecation -classpath "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\CatalogRepository\AndroidSDK-2525_20.0.36039.7899\platforms\android-26\android.jar";"c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\studio\20.0\lib\Android\Debug\android-support-v4.jar";"c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\studio\20.0\lib\Android\Debug\fmx.jar" -bootclasspath "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\CatalogRepository\AndroidSDK-2525_20.0.36039.7899\platforms\android-26\android.jar" -encoding UTF-8 -target 1.6 -g -source 1.6  .\Android\Debug\Project2.java .\Android\Debug\Project2ProxyInterface.java" exited with code 3.

I have no problem running javac on command prompt

C:\Users\Ertan>

My version of "javac.exe" is located at

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin\javac.exe

 

I have seen some people having exact same error on my searches. No solution that I could find so far.

 

I am planning to setup a virtual machine to install fresh copy of Delphi 10.3.3 and test if working on it. Before I do that I wonder if there is something I need to check.

 

Thanks & regards,

Ertan

I read "The system cannot find the path specified." along the lines. That I presume goes for "\bin\javac" as every other file/directory listed do exist in my system.

 

I am uncertain why. Registry search did not find me anything that I think is relevant. There is no "javac" location setting in SDK settings. I am clueless.

As far as the SDK settings go, I believe it derives the JDKPath from one or either of the JDK settings:

 

 

You can check this in the registry:

That was it. My same registry key was as below:

 

After making it look like same with your settings Android Service compilation works fine.

 

I am not sure how that registry setting value removed in there.

 

BTW, I did also fix 64bit sdk value, too.

 

Thanks.
