Ionic android build error (worked previously)

jacksonkr_ · June 11, 2015, 5:04pm

Been banging my head on this one for a while. This used to work but now it’s giving me this issue. I’ve tried:

./platforms/android/cordova/clean
removing android platform, clean, reinstall
removing / adding most recent plugin

Here’s the error I’m getting:

ionic v1.5.0
cordova v5.0.0

mhartington · June 11, 2015, 5:17pm

Hmm, could you paste the output from $ ionic info?
Also check to see if you android tools are up to date but running android

jacksonkr_ · June 11, 2015, 5:21pm

$ ionic info

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.0.0
Ionic Version: 1.0.0-rc.2
Ionic CLI Version: 1.5.0
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.1.0
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: 3.1.1
OS: Mac OS X Yosemite
Node Version: v0.12.1
Xcode version: Xcode 6.3.1 Build version 6D1002

I upgraded the Android tools last night but I just checked the $ android sdk and there are three more updates. I’ll let you know what happens after I update.

jacksonkr_ · June 11, 2015, 5:27pm

After getting updates from Android SDK I’m running into the same error as the original one posted.

Android SDK Tools r24.3.2
Android SDK Platform Tools r22

encodedmirko · June 11, 2015, 5:34pm

What’s in that values.xml? This is one of the few possibly related topics I could find:

jacksonkr_ · June 11, 2015, 7:26pm

Thanks @encodedmirko I had actually found that link before posting my question here. My values.xml lines were a little different but there was still a custom namespace that went unused. The issue is that whenever I run ionic build android again it recreates this file just as it was.

Here’s what the file looks like and you can see the offending line on 2 with xmlns:ns1="..."

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/">
    <!-- From: file:/Users/MyUser/MyApp/platforms/android/res/values/strings.xml -->

    <!-- From: file:/Users/MyUser/MyApp/platforms/android/res/values/strings.xml -->
    <eat-comment/>
    <string name="launcher_name">@string/app_name</string>
</resources>

encodedmirko · June 11, 2015, 7:51pm

Looks like it may be something to do with the crashlytics plugin. What if you try removing that plugin, does it build fine?

jacksonkr_ · June 11, 2015, 8:11pm

Hmm, good clue. I removed the plugin then ran .platorms/android/cordova/clean but got the same crash on build and when I checked the values.xml it still had cordova residue in it. Do you think there’s a better strategy to try?

as further FYI here’s my plugin list after removing crashlytics:

$ cordova plugin list
com.google.playservices 19.0.0 "Google Play Services for Android"
com.ionic.deploy 0.1.5 "IonicDeploy"
com.ionic.keyboard 1.0.4 "Keyboard"
com.phonegap.plugins.PushPlugin 2.4.0 "PushPlugin"
cordova-plugin-directions 0.3.1 "Directions"
cordova-plugin-google-analytics 0.7.2 "Google Universal Analytics Plugin"
cordova-plugin-network-information 1.0.1-dev "Network Information"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.0.1-dev "Whitelist"
org.apache.cordova.console 0.2.13 "Console"
org.apache.cordova.device 0.3.0 "Device"
org.apache.cordova.device-motion 0.2.11 "Device Motion"
org.apache.cordova.device-orientation 0.3.11 "Device Orientation"
org.apache.cordova.geolocation 0.3.12 "Geolocation"
org.apache.cordova.network-information 0.2.15 "Network Information"

encodedmirko · June 11, 2015, 8:30pm

Odd, it seemed that the ns1 namespace was only used by the crashlytics string. In fact here’s somebody else reporting a similar issue

Ah, the joys of xml. I’m out of ideas right now. Maybe do a global search inside the project and find where those values with the namespace come from, e.g. TypographyDashes.

jacksonkr_ · June 11, 2015, 9:05pm

I fixed it. If I remember correctly, here’s what I tried: (submitted same answer to SOF)

ionic build android (failure)
ionic platform remove android
cordova platform remove android
cordova plugin remove cordova-crashlytics-plugin
(might have to skip this step) ./platforms/android/cordova/clean
cordova platform add android
ionic build android (success)
cordova plugin add https://github.com/4sh-projects/cordova-crashlytics-plugin
ionic build android (success)

Muffasa · November 29, 2015, 6:24pm

have axactly the same issue, did you solve it?

nelaturuk · November 29, 2015, 8:01pm

This was caused because of permissions on folder for me. Application was not able to create the assets folder. I gave full permissions to the android sdk folder. Then it started working.

coreas94 · July 13, 2016, 9:49pm

I need help , my application gives me error to build the apk, thank you

Native thread-sleep not available.
This will result in much slower performance, but it will still work.
You should re-install spawn-sync or upgrade to the lastest version of node if possible.
Check /usr/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/ionic-app-lib/node_modules/cross-spawn/node_modules/spawn-sync/error.log for more details
