Hello,
I am trying to follow this guide: https://doc.embedded-wizard.de/getting-started-android
My environment
- Windows 10 running on a Virtual Machine
- The Android command line tool downloaded is this version: commandlinetools-win-6858069_latest.zip
Where I am
I am able to install the tools and when first started StartGradleBuildEnvironment.bat was able to install all the AndroidSDK development tools (and have a file called AndroidSdkInstallDone created).
Where I got stuck
when trying to do `gradlew -q appStart` the build stop with this message:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)
Following the guide, I have tried to split the command and run gradlew -q assembleDebug --stacktrace (the output is long so I'll embed it at the end)
Q1. What have I messed up this time? :-)
Q2. I also noticed that the Java JDK used is version 14.0.2 - Is there a technical reason for that or just licensing issues? I am concerned because oracle says the older versions won't get security fixes.
Thank you very much for everyone's time and patience with me.
update: I exceeded the 20,000 char limit with the stack trace (if there is a way to attach a text file, that will be great)
I'll try to snip the middle of the stacktrace output for now.
