ParaToxic Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hey guys I have a big problem here.I want to build Android apk files with the vs-android framework and the Android SDK/NDK. So now in the sample project I have to set the variable $(AndroidNdkDir) to a value , but it's now set to <unset> . Well I can see it when I opne the project properties and go to Debugging -> Remote Command Arguments -> (Dropdown ) Change -> Makros>> and there is a table with that stuff but I can't change it... Well I'm searching for 1,5 hours now and can't find hot to do that. On some sites there are some commands like setx AndroidNdkDir "C:...." .... but where ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramecij Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm assuming you are trying to set an environment path variable... in Visual studio check the menu for tools / vs command line, then type: set AndroidNdkDir="c:\your path here" ... you can check if a variable is set by just typing: set name_of_variable, and if it exists it will print out it's value.. if you try this in a regular windows cmd the set command only works for that cmd session, global environment variables can be edited from control panel / system / advanced / environment variables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardia Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You can put environment variables in c:\autoexec.bat, like this: SET ANDROIDNDKDIR=C:\PRG\NDK Or the new style is to put them in the My Computer/Properties/Advanced System Settings/Environment Variables.

ParaToxic Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 So this kind of variable isn't only for Visual Studio ? When I set it with cmd it show me the same error in Visual Studio. I haven't got the menu !Tools" , just have the express version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbolg Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You have to set it in your system > environment variables as already told. If you have Win Vista+, you simply can type "environment" into windows search and get the configuration directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMAN Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I usually have stacks of bat/ps1 files that set these for me in a shell. I learned this trick while working at a retarded fortune 500 that locked down admin access on my box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardia Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't think Visual Studio has anyway anything to do with Android NDK, because you need mingw64 or cygwin to compile with it.

Canardia Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 http://code.google.com/p/vs-android/ That is so wrong, it's just a horrible idea, why would anyone in their right mind do it?

This link made me see the words msbuild again. There needs to be blood. I double dog dare anyone to integrate an open source testing tool(which are the only good ones) as part of a tfs build with reports working /fml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaToxic Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 @Roland: Thats exactly the API i'm using for that. Well I've got it work yesterday.Very cool stuff, you can debug your app from Visual studio on your phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
