Building Titanium Mobile from source

Greetings, all!

In step 2 of
building-titanium-from-source
I run scons with no parameters as directed an exception occurs:

Exception: No Android SDK directory found

So providing my SDK path:

scons android_sdk=/Users/matthew/Developer/sdks/android/

It then builds packages up to com.google.android.maps:

[javac] /Users/matthew/Developer/titanium-mobile/titanium_mobile/android/modules/map/src/ti/modules/titanium/map/TiMapActivity.java:13: package com.google.android.maps does not exist

Edit: I have the Google APIs installed through the Android SDK Manager though I notice that the java command run by scons has -Dgoogle-apis=None as below:

java -cp /Users/matthew/Developer/titanium-appcelerator/titanium_mobile/android/build/lib/ant.jar:/Users/matthew/Developer/titanium-appcelerator/titanium_mobile/android/build/lib/ant-launcher.jar:/Users/matthew/Developer/titanium-appcelerator/titanium_mobile/android/build/lib/xercesImpl.jar:/Users/matthew/Developer/titanium-appcelerator/titanium_mobile/android/build/lib/xml-apis.jar:/Users/matthew/Developer/titanium-appcelerator/titanium_mobile/android/build/lib/ant-nodeps.jar org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -Dant.home=build -Dandroid.platform=/Users/matthew/Developer/sdks/android/platforms/android-4 -Dandroid.sdk=/Users/matthew/Developer/sdks/android/ -Dgoogle.apis=None -Dbuild.version=1.3.1 -buildfile build.xml Buildfile: /Users/matthew/Developer/titanium-appcelerator/titanium_mobile/android/build.xml

Maybe there's something I've missed, can anyone help with advice?

  • Don't know if one year later the answer will be helpfull, but maybe it can help someone else.

    If you look in the file ./android/build/common.xml, you'll see that if you specify android_sdk it assumes that the following folders are available beneath it:

    • /platforms/android-7
    • /add-ons/google_apis-7_r01

    So you must make sure that you've downloaded the version 7 revision 1 of the google api addon.

    If you want to build using another android API and add-on, you may set the ANDROID_PLATFORM and GOOGLE_APIS environment variables instead of using android_sdk.

  • I'm using Eclipse to build it along with the classpath variables described at:

    Thanks to Don for the advice!

  • Did you get this resolved? I'm having the exact same issues with build.
