Did you create this project from scratch, or import it from Eclipse?
If the latter, have you looked in those projects to see where the AndroidManifest.xml file resides?

Just took a look on github and the file is definitely there (Squeezer/src/main). Are you sure it got downloaded correctly?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes

Hi Richard would you mind trying to download and build the project ( obviously if you have the time ) in Android Studio ?

Sorry Pete, I don't have Android Studio, I found that it is extremely slow on my system so I use eclipse.
You may like to go back and check exactly where in the build the error appears, as there are (by the look of the build tree) other pieces that may be actioned.

Ok Richard thanks, when you say other pieces need to be actioned do you mean downloaded seperately and built ? I ask this because I notice a module / project calles EventBus although it's shown on GitHub as being part of the project it doesn't actually get downloaded in the the zip file.

Yes, I did actually download the zip file yesterday and there seemed to be some other (test) projects in there, so it may be something to do with that. As I said, you need to check exactly where in the build the error occurs.

Thanks Richard - I've actually installed Eclipse now if that helps ?, I naively thought the process would be similar to downloading a Visual Studio solution and building it - why is everything so difficult ? - thanks again

Maybe; eclipse uses a different project structure, so you cannot just build from the existing download. I do know that Android Studio will import eclipse projects and (try to) re-configure them, but I don't know if eclipse can do the same with an Android Studio project. I guess you will have to try it and see.

Are you saying the GitHub project is an Eclipse project format ? ( I don't know the difference )

No it's definitely Android Studio. The project tree structures are different, and Android Studio uses something called gradle[^] (WTE?), while eclipse uses ADT to do the actual compile, link, package steps.
|
|
|
|
|
That's part of the problem Richard the build just fails without giving you a line number or file name it just informs you it can't find the manifest in fact it probably doesn't even begin building because of that - a real life catch 22 - I am on the point of giving up on this - have you ever successfully cloned and compiled a git repo for Android ?

Sorry, but I have never used any Github projects. There appears to be a forum for questions there which may be worth a try - see the "issues" link on the right of the page. My only other suggestion is to try an email to Peter Leow[^], who has written some excellent Android articles, and is a fan of Android Studio.

Thanks Richard

Have you got an email address for Mr Leow ?

No, you will have to post a message via one of his article forums.

Ok thanks Richard

Just for completeness I downloaded the project and tried to import it into eclipse, but I'm afraid that did not work. It seems eclipse cannot handle Android Studio projects.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok at least I know it's not just me

Hi Richard, just thought I'd let you know I have it working - the main problem seems to be me the way Github packages the zip file, the main project is called "android-squeeze-master" but when you download and unzip the file another folder is created underneath the original so you now have "android-squeeze-master\android-squeeze-master" this then totally screws up all the relative references which are in build.gradle et al, the other problem is, the referenced "other projects" need to be downloaded seperately and added to the tree ( before opening the project in Android Studio ), what a nightmare - thanks for all your help I was on the verge of giving up but that's not in my nature.

Quite right, you are a real developer after all.

sir can i disable an mobile verification code used by an app
|
|

The answer is available, but there are few things we need before we can answer it:
- What framework you are talking about?
- Verification for what?
- How is the code shared with user and where is it stored?
Also what do you mean by disabling it?
