ATAK 4.3 version plugin-examples/plugintemplate compilation fails

[kanagarajan0709]

Hi,

I was able to build ATAK Civ 4.3 source.
But the compilation fails for the plugintemplate project as below,

Also I am made some changes suggested from the blog,
https://www.ballantyne.online/developing-atak-plugin-101/

Build file '/home/tess/ATAK/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/plugin-examples/plugintemplate/app/build.gradle' line: 85

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

Plugin with id 'atak-takdev-plugin' not found.

But I was able to build sdkplugin example https://github.com/deptofdefense/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/releases/download/4.1.1.4/atak-civ-sdk-4.1.1.4.zip https://github.com/deptofdefense/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/issues/27

Do we have any similar atak plugin sdk packages for 4.3 version ?
AFAIK , both looks almost the same.

You need to make sure the path is correct in the plugin build.gradle file, look at

ext.takdevPlugin =

and make sure it points to

AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/atak-gradle-takdev/build/libs/atak-gradle-takdev-${takdevVersion}.jar

it's a relative path from the build.gradle file

@peterhaigh thanks for your quick reply.

AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/atak-gradle-takdev/build/libs/atak-gradle-takdev-${takdevVersion}.jar
I don't find the libs dir within build folder - i executed the build using command line atak-gradle-takdev> ./gradlew
Am i missing any steps to generate libs folder ?

(Apologize if I am missing something very basic - as this is my fresh start with atak project)

atak-gradle-takdev> ls -lh build/
total 32K
drwxrwxr-x 3 tess tess 4.0K Aug 27 00:00 classes
drwxrwxr-x 3 tess tess 4.0K Aug 27 00:00 generated

Just for an experimental purpose,

Modified the build.gradle file within plugintemplate/app folder :
changed plugin version from 4.1.1 to 4.3.0 and also below changes setting true to CIV,

productFlavors {
    mil {
        dimension "application"
        manifestPlaceholders = [atakApiVersion: "com.atakmap.app@" + ATAK_VERSION + ".MIL"]
    }
    civ {
        ****getIsDefault().set(true)****
        dimension "application"
        manifestPlaceholders = [atakApiVersion: "com.atakmap.app@" + ATAK_VERSION + ".CIV"]
    }

When I execute the plugin module - it throws error message :
"This plugin requires software version: 4.3.0.MIL but you are running 4.3.0.CIV"

Which I don't understand - do i need to make any other changes to install plugin for CIV version ?

You select the build variant from the bottom left in Android Studio. I don't how to do this programmatically.

Yes that solves the problem with compatibility , able to load the plugin template.
Thank you !

After the fix from issue #101 https://github.com/deptofdefense/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/issues/101
gradle build is OK.

When I started the app build it seems to fail,

/home/ATAK/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/plugin-examples/plugintemplate/app/src/main/java/com/atakmap/android/plugintemplate/PluginTemplateMapComponent.java:6: error: package com.atakmap.android.ipc.AtakBroadcast does not exist
import com.atakmap.android.ipc.AtakBroadcast.DocumentedIntentFilter;

Do you have a link to the sdk.path in your local,.properties file?

[kanagarajan0709]

Do you have a link to the sdk.path in your local,.properties file?

Yes , like below:

sdk.dir=/home/Android/Sdk
ndk.dir=/home/ndk/android-ndk-r12b
takDebugKeyFile=keystore/debug.keystore
takDebugKeyFilePassword=android
takDebugKeyAlias=androiddebugkey
takDebugKeyPassword=android
takReleaseKeyFile=...
takReleaseKeyFilePassword=...
takReleaseKeyAlias=...
takReleaseKeyPassword=...

[peterhaigh]

No that's the sdk.dir, you need a link to the sd.path. Like this, I've made my link from the home dir to the ATAK dir

sdk.path=/home/"USER"/"Development DIR"/CivTAK/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/atak/ATAK/app/build/libs

Alter the path to suit you and paste it into your local.properties file.

@peterhaigh
I have the same error

Build file '/home/jk-ubuntu/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/plugin-examples/draperplugin/app/build.gradle' line: 94

A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Plugin with id 'atak-takdev-plugin' not found.

So I changed

ext.takdevPlugin = getProperty('takdev.plugin', "${rootDir}/../../atak-gradle-takdev.jar")

to

ext.takdevPlugin = getProperty('takdev.plugin', "/home/jk-ubuntu/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/atak-gradle-takdev/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar")

because I do not have AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/atak-gradle-takdev/build/libs/atak-gradle-takdev-${takdevVersion}.jar.
Please check https://github.com/deptofdefense/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/tree/master/atak-gradle-takdev.

But I am still having the same error.. could you please help?
