LAMW and FPCUpDeluxe and Gradle Version
lazarus / 43-Android

I am testing and updating the How-To for installing LAMW on Linux
using FPCUpDeluxe.
Are Gradle versions >= 7 ok to use with LAMW?

Here is what I know:
    
1. The LAMW readme says that Gradle version >= 7 is not supported.

2. The current FPCUPdeluxe release v2.2.0h and prerelease v2.2.0i both
install Gradle v7.3.1.

I tested both FPCUPdeluxe v2.2.0h and 2.2.0i with LAMW and Gradle
v7.3.1 (with OpenJDK11, Android SDK api level 31, NDK 22b) and it
works fine for my test cases.  I compiled the AppAnimationDemo1 for
both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM and it compiles, builds, and runs
successfully (tested on Pixel 4).  I built APKs for several of the
other demos.

3. The FPCUPdeluxe master branch has a recent commit to revert Gradle
back to v6.8.3 which was in response to this issue report regarding
Windows:  https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/issues/507

I just tested a clean install on Windows 10 using Gradle 7.3.1:

  - OpenJDK 11 64-bit ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-
us/java/openjdk/download )
  - Android commandlinetools-linux-8092744_latest.zip
  - platforms;android-31, build-tools;31.0.0
  - ndk;22.1.7171670
  - FPCUPdeluxe release v2.2.0i
  - fpc 3.2.2 / Lazarus 2.2.0
  - gradle-7.3.1
  - Latest LAMW from git

Compile and build AppAnimationDemo1 for both ARMv7a + VFPv3 and
Aarch64 with no errors.  Both APKs run fine on Pixel 4.

For both Windows and Linux, the Android Gradle Plugin for Gradle 7
requires OpenJDK 11:

Also note the compatibility matrix here:

plugin#compatibility_2

Hi, WayneSherman!  

(and DonAlfred)

I agree!  

FPCUPdeluxe  can be one step ahead (drop-off "ant")  while the
"recommended" installation will be a step behind so we can continue
supporting "ant"  builder.

(please, put here your tested "build.gradle")

What about?


Thanks to All!

I did not create that file.  When using FPCUPdeluxe, is "build.gradle"
created by LAMW or FPCUPdeluxe?

Quote is "build.gradle" created by LAMW ....

Yes, all new (or opened) LAMW project has a updated "build.gradle" 
file...
