Android targetSdkVersion build problem

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

Hi all,

I have a problem on Android simulator when I try to launch the app after changing the tiapp.xml like this : 

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <tool-api-level>8</tool-api-level>
        <manifest android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1">   
            <supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" 
                              android:largeScreens="true" android:anyDensity="false" />
            <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="16" 
                      android:installLocation="preferExternal"/>
        </manifest>
    </android>
the application seems frozen and I get this message when I try to build : 
[ERROR][TiApplication( 1002)] (main) [11,1167] Sending event: exception on thread: main msg:java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.infotelsrl.todo.TodoApplication: java.lang.NullPointerException; Titanium 2.1.2,2012/08/24 14:46,ed7f777

  • Missing from your question are a number of important pieces of information. I suggest you take a look at the Using Questions and Answers article, specifically the Q&A Question Checklist. The missing information is critical to reproducing problems in a test environment and often indicates other factors that cause the undesirable outcome you are experiencing.

  • thanks for the advice:

    1. Application type: mobile
    2. Titanium SDK: Titanium SDK version: 2.1.2 (24/08/12 14:46 ed7f777)
    3. Platform & version: Android 4.1
    4. Device: Android emulator
    5. Host Operating System: Ubuntu 12.04
    6. Titanium Studio: Titanium Studio, build: 2.1.2.201208301612

    I get the same error message with any API level typed in "android: targetSdkVersion." I hope it is sufficient to understand the scenario.

this problem has been resolved, to show the application in holo theme in my "tiapp.xml" i have : 

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <!-- used to compile -->
  <tool-api-level>14</tool-api-level>
  <manifest>
    <supports-screens android:anyDensity="false"/>
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
    <application android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"/>         
  </manifest>
</android>
in my case i have also set the "holo light" theme.
