Android build fails when adding the plugin

Hi,

Build on Android fails on my side after I add the plugin. Here are steps to reproduce:

1. Checkout sampleGroceries app: git clone [e-mail]:NativeScript/sample-Groceries.git
2. Checkout “start” branch: git checkout start
3. Add android platform: tns platform add android
4. Add the plugin: tns plugin add nativescript-google-maps-sdk
5. Build: tns build android

Here is the error:

Builds the project for Android and produces an APK that you can manually deploy on device or in the native emulator.

### Options

    * --compileSdk - Sets the Android SDK that will be used to build the project.
    * --release - If set, produces a release build. Otherwise, produces a debug build. When set, you must also specify the --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-path - Specifies the file path to the keystore file (P12) which you want to use to code sign your APK. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-password - Provides the password for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-alias - Provides the alias for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-alias-password - Provides the password for the alias specified with --key-store-alias-password. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --copy-to - Specifies the file path where the built .apk will be copied. If it points to a non-existent directory, it will be created. If the specified value is directory, the original file name will be used.

### Attributes
<API Level> is a valid Android API level. For example: 22, 23.

Before adding the plugin I was able to build for android and to run the demo app in the emulator. So my setup should be fine.

Let me know if you need additional information.

Maybe try installing Google Respository in your SDK manager.

C:\Users\user\AndroidStudioProjects\FunFacts\app\src\main\res\values\dimens.xml: Error: In DataSet ‘main’, no data file for changedFile. This is an internal error in the incremental builds code; to work around it, try doing a full clean build.

Scott Junner on May 12, 2017 If you open the Build menu at the top of AndroidStudio, you will see two options there of interest to you. “Clean Project” and “Rebuild Project”. Try those one after the other and see what results you get. Other than that I don’t really know.

It works for me 😃
