Hi,

I am trying out the NativeUIexercises.I have updated the sdk.properties file with the location of the android sdk instillation.

I’m trying to do the MultiBuild to create an android build. I get the below exception.

ERROR: The path specified by “android.platform.dir.root” in your “sdk.properties” file (“C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk/platforms/android-7”) does not exist - please check this value  
C:\SoftwareAG\wMMobileDesigner\Platforms\Android\platform\_buildscript.xml:294: null  
   
I have downloaded the Android SDK and I have the version android-15 installed. Any idea why I have to specifically install android-7?

Thanks and Regards  
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,  
Please see the answer below from Nick. This maybe what you are looking for.  
Best regards,

Hi David,

That should be controlled by the “android.min.sdk.version” property. This should be mentioned in the “_Mobile\_Designer\_Properties_.pdf” document.

Regards,

Nick.
