I'm receiving the following errors when building. Clean also fails... Backgground. Added the Plugin to BT2.0 that I created via BT plugin panel. Created the screen as outlined in the video in BT2.0. Downloaded source and added to eclipse. My other projects are all fine. Could this be a case sensitive issue when I created the plugin? I tried most all the fixes associated with this error I found on-line.

menulistsimpleadvancedBackup.xml: Invalid file name: must contain only a-z0-9_ Answered your own question I think? (Capital B in Backup)

Hi in IL. It looks like a "hidden file" is getting into the package: eslayout.DS_Store The ".DS_Store" is a clue. Could it be that you're using Dreamweaver (the Adobe product) to modify the source files? I ask because Dreamweaver sometimes creates hidden files that begin with "DS_Store." See if you can find any hidden files in your directory folders for source-ios and source-android. If you're running this on a self hosted server, check the "remote" files too (if you uploaded them to your website). Not sure what your setup is.

So a capital letter in an xml file is ok? Is it just convention rather than requirement?

I dont use anything. I just unzipped and added the project to eclipse is all. But I will look for the hidden files.

Ah, OK, good to know. Did you download it from buzztouch.com or from a self hosted panel? It could be that the .DS_Store hidden file is already part of the example package (coming from us). In this case I'll need to find it and get rid of it! LOL. We look for this stuff but may have missed it.

My understanding of the Menu Simple Advanced plugin from buzztouchmods.com is that it's not supported on Android: https://www.buzztouchmods.com/downloads.php?cat_id=1&download_id=13 And it says this: IOS ONLY GUYS! @MrDavid told me it wasn't supported after I spend some time debugging a user who was trying to use it. Others have told me they are able to get it working with some tweaks. Mark

I downloaded it from my self-hosted....

@Mark - At the moment all I have is a splash screen and the Bug screen. No menu list at all.

OK. I was thinking maybe it was causing errors that are preventing you from getting the app compiled. That's what happened with the others I worked with. Mark

@gbakakos: OK, good to know. Verify you did this, so I can be sure of where to look for the .DS_Store file... a) Watched the video. b) Created simple custom plugin (blank at this point) c) Download the plugin package (from your buzztouch.com panel) d) Uploaded it to your self hosted server, added it to an app d) Downloaded your app project from the self hosted panel e) Opened project in Eclipse and saw the error I think this is the workflow you used. Make corrections as needed so I know.

@GoNorthWest is totally right. Menulistadvanced is a third party plugin that is not supported on Android. Do this to fix your problem. 1. Delete these files src/com/appname/BT_screen_menuListSimpleAdvanced.java src/com/appname/BT_screen_menuListSimpleAdvancedBackup.java res/layout/menu_list_rowsimpleadvancedBackup.xml res/layout/screen_menulistsimpleadvanced.xml res/layout/screen_menulistsimpleadvancedBakup.xml 2. open eclipse and import source as per the instructions.pdf 3. open the BT_fileManager.java file 4. Do a search and replace on the above file. Replace sparrakortenandroid_appDelegate with yourappname_appDelegate That's it! Build and run ...

Ah, I was thinking of something different. YES, if this plugin (the third party one) is installed on the self hosted server, it WILL be included in the app download even if the app only contains one screen. I was thinking it was not included - it could be and probably is.

Yes I did have the 3rd party plugin installed. Thanks much. That cleared up the errors. I'm assuming that the ".DS_Store" is not caused by that? or is it? Need to remember that for Android. Thanks @David, @coderx @GoNorthWest @rayved it not runs clean...

Isn't .DS_Store caused by compression of folders (zipping them up!) on a Mac? Mark

@gbakakos the .DS_Store is 99% of time ignored by Eclipse. At least on my current setup it is. Glad you got your errors fixed up.

@Mark Mac creates the files to attribute to folder, icon positioning.. I think... But its usually in every folder so I assume it has to do with folder attribution.

Yep, looks like you're right! From Wikipedia: ".DS_Store (Desktop Services Store)[1] is a proprietary format hidden file created by Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X operating system to store custom attributes of a folder such as the position of icons or the choice of a background image." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store Learn something new everyday! Mark

Thanks for that Mark. I wish we couldn't see the file though * permanently* :)

You can show hidden files on Mac OSX if you want. I turn it on an off using the terminal. I was thinking Dreamweaver's text editor - need rest! LOL. Turn on "show hidden files" in Mac OSX Finder: Open a terminal window then type... $ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE $ killall Finder Finder will die, then re-launch. Hidden files will be displayed when you browse directories. When it annoys you enough (it's ugly looking at these scary ass mystery files!) Reverse the order.. $ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE $ killall Finder

@David: hahah:) thanks for that David. You need rest for sure buddy:) You know how I know you do....The second part to get rid of the "hidden files" you would put: $ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE :)

Great discussion! There is a way to use Menu List Advanced with android if you end up needing the plugin for your app: https://www.buzztouchmods.com/downloads.php?cat_id=3&download_id=29 Cheers, David buzztouchmods.com
