I am creating a batch script for signing zips with a whole command interface. I need some help, where as I am stuck. This is also for learning,
I use setlocal enabledelayedexpansion in part of it, and then end that part with endlocal.
But even after endlocal, some of my commands aren't working, they return: (I need the java command to work)
'(command here)' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
These commands will work before I use the set/endlocal variables, but not after.
Any help? I can pm you my bat file if you'd like.
anyone heard of this problem, or how to fix it?
have you looked into how mort scripts work?

I've been trying to take some screenshots on my G1 for some time now but nothing seems to work. I followed the instructions on these two pages http://www.allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4739

But ddms won't launch. Every time I click on ddms in the android-sdk-windows-1.1_r1\tools folder a cmd prompt flashes and then nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Or is there something wrong with my phone?
Now windows didn't prompt me to install new hardware when I plugged in my phone so I had to open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer Management | Device Manager, go down to Other Devices and choose the Android phone, then right click Properties, and choose Update Driver, then browse to the specific location.
Does that make a difference?
Also I'm running on windows vista on my computer and I'm running JFv1.42 on my G1
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :]
Instead of running the batch file, have you tried to run cmd prompt first? Goto Start > Run > type in 'cmd' and hit enter. Then type in ddms and hit enter.
It seems whatever is happening, it is throwing an error once you click the batch file, so at least instead of closing you can post the error message here then it'll be clearer as to what is happening.
I opened up the cmd prompt and typed in ddms and this is what I got:
" 'ddms' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file"
Does that mean that its not installed properly?
And I forgot to mention in my original post, that none of the batch files in the tools folder launch when clicked on.
Sounds like you haven't installed the SDK properly, especially the step where you add the /tools directory in the system environments.
Try this though: Copy the ddms.bat file and put it in /system32/ folder on your pc, and then try to launch cmd and run again..see if that helps.
Thanks
I figured out the problem. C:\WINDOWS\system32 wasn't in the system enviroments path

in windows, right click on my computer, go to properties, in one of the tabs, its in there.....
if you are running linux, and asking this, then you shouldn't be using linux....
Vista Home Premium...
I click on "Environment Variables" in the Advanced tab and it opens another menu, one with the option to add user variables, and one with system variables. Which one do I need to add, and what exactly do I need to add?
I tried creating a system variable with the variable name of test and the path as C:\Windows\System32 but it didn't solve the problem...
If I open cmd and cd to my sdk directory and type ddms I get:
Unable to access jarfile lib/archquery.jar
SWT folder '' does not exist.
Please set ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platform.
its a hell of a lot easier using eclipse, just hit the ddms tab and click the icon that looks like a picture
nobody knows how to make this work without using yet another program??
still cant figure this out
Having the same problem, when I click ddms it flashes then disappears. Any idea how to add the file path in windows 7?
If you can't get this to work - There's a nice little program in the market, simply called "screenshot" (free), that'll let you make screenshots either with a timer or by shaking the phone.
Hello everyone im a noob here but im slowley learning. i have searched and searched including the ABD for dummies they all make mention of ABD for mac but then move right along into windows how tos. im sorry if this is the wrong place for this post but can anyone point me to a place that actually explains ABD usage for mac i know nothing about terminal and i think thats what it want me to use. i really mean it ive been looking for a good mac tuterial for days!!!!!! thanks
You mean adb, right?
The commands for adb are pretty much the same ones used on windows
Not development...post in general.
Anyways,
do you have the sdk set up as per these instructions? You dont need to worry about the eclipse stuff. The most important thing is getting the sdk downloaded, extracted and the /tools dir added to your path. From there, the command are exactly the same. eg:
Code:
adb push
adb pull
adb shell
adb shell reboot recovery
...

to use ADB and FASTBOOT you need to mount your SDK foldert (you "need" tools folder) and then use all commands starting with ./
for example ./fastboot reboot
PS if you want to use fastboot, you have to download it separate from HTC site.

You dont have to mount the folder. It may be easier but in the long run adding it to path will teach you more. Just do a google search on edit path osx and you will find how to create or edit the bash_profile to add the tols folder to your path. from there you just open terminal and adb away

There is no need in this. Everyone can find all information on GOOGLE. It is easer then "Easy Button"
MAC+ANDROID=FRIENDS FOREVER!
Setting up ABD for OSX, Hackintosh, mac newbies like myself.
First make sure you have downloaded the latest SDK from google.
In finder go to your home folder and extract the sdk into a folder named Android.
If you only plan on using ADB you can just extract the tools folder contents there.
Now open up Terminal...Applications/system utilities
Type in the following
echo $shell
ls -a
If you see a file named .bash_profile in the list you are ok if not we have a few things to do.
To create a .bash_profile, in terminal do the following
touch .bash_profile
This will create a blank file if there is none. Then,
open -e .bash_profile
This will open it in TextEdit. Add the following line:
export PATH=${PATH}:*<your_sdk_dir>*/tools
Where <your_sdk_dir> is the full path to the android sdk folder (type
carefully, remove < > brackets).
For example, if the android folder is in the eclipse folder on your Desktop,
it would be:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/David/Desktop/eclipse/
android-sdk-mac_x86-1.0_r1/tools
Save and quit.
then all you have to do from there is adb away.
If you need more info please follow this link where I copied the info from.

Hi, I'm fairly new at developing android. Im having the hardest time making a virtual sdcard. can someone please give a some tips or a walkthrough. i've read all the how to's n googles dev forum.
ive gotten to the point where im in cmd.exe on windows
i opened the mksdcard.exe
the when i go to type in mksdcard 64M sdcard.iso
it says its not recogized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You need to either add the sdk\tools folder to your path (PATH environment variable), or actually cd to the tools folder or fully specify the path. The error is Windows telling you it has no idea what this mksdcard thing you're talking about is because it can't find it.
This is pretty basic command line stuff, not Android specific--you can develop without knowing about it, but it's worth spending some time learning. (I recommend DOS for Dummies for DOS 6.2, if you can find it. Seriously. I've probably read that book a dozen times and I don't think there's anything like it for Windows. The modern cmd.exe isn't that different from command.com.)
Of course, you can also specify a virtual SD card when creating an AVD from the graphical SDK and AVD Manager, and skip the command line business.
ok i get what ur saying.
like i find the file through
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\mksdcard.exe
then when it finds it
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\mksdcard.exe mksdcard 64M sdcard.iso?
im confused
and when i make a sdcard in avd manager or watever its called my emulator cant find the sdcard. and even droid explorer cant see any of the emulators files. an idea what the problem could be or am i just blatently missing something?

You're making it too complicated.
Code:
> c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\mksdcard 64M sdcard.iso
Where "> " is just the prompt that's already printed on the screen. You only need the name of the command once.
ok so after i do that. it just gives me a fresh cmd line like i never typed anything in in the first place.
and when i go to look for the file its nowhere to b found.
is this normal?
wait!! i think i may have just found them
whats the most common method of emulating zip files that ppl make?
Okay...I made a windows batch file to simplify using aapt. I'm gonna post them here and over on AFTVnews. They're very simple but extremely easy and user-friendly. I hope someone else finds some use for them too.
Here's a zip file with 4 different very useful batch files. 2 of them output to text file and the other 2 display directly in the command prompt. The aapt.exe MUST be in the same folder as the batch file being used.
