Would you like to work on the issue?

Assign to someone else.

Hi @vsquared Thank you for reporting this issue. I looks like this is something we will have to fix within the Android Mode as its gradle is grabbing a different JDK to run the process.

@SableRaf can you move this issue?

Hello everyone, processing github newbie here. How can I stay notified on the progress on this issue? Desperately need android mode for my thesis. Or is there a workaround I could use until this is fixed?

[vsquared]

is there a workaround I could use until this is fixed?
Android mode with Processing version 4.3 should work ok.

[SableRaf]

Hi @remag2901. As @vsquared mentioned, the current workaround is to use Processing 4.3.4.

If you need help getting set up, feel free to post on the Processing forum: https://discourse.processing.org/c/processing-android

Note: We’re currently migrating Processing to use Gradle as the default build system. This should eventually make it easier to run sketches on Android without relying on a dedicated Android mode.

Thank you everyone!

Hello,

This issue is from April 29 and for the development environment and software versions that was shared.

I am cautiously optimistic that I may have a solution for W10 and W11.

I was able to get this to work on this development environment:

• Windows 10 and 11
• Processing 4.4.4
• Motorola Android Phone (Android version 14)
• Android Mode for Processing 4.6.1 (Installed July 28).
• I did an SDK update.

Path in Environment Variables set to:
C:\Programs_Portable\Processing\app\resources\jdk\bin < java.exe is available here on my install

See Updates in this this post:

https://discourse.processing.org/t/android-programming-for-beginners/46813/13

I only use the portable installs.
I do not know what the MSI installs or sets in addition to core software and cautious (may cause conflicts for my use).

I only use the portable installs. I do not know what the MSI installs or sets in addition to core software and cautious (may cause conflicts for my use).

Hi @glvjr, AFAIK the .msi installer on Windows does the following:

• Add a Start Menu shortcut for Processing
• Append Processing to the PATH (used by the CLI)
• Add a registry key so Processing appears in Add/Remove Programs
