Android compile blocked at "Copying project resources.."

Hi,

Each time I try to compile for android, the process blocks at "Copying project resources".
[TRACE] sqlite3.ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings.

Mac OS/X Leopard
Android 2.1 APIs
Titanium 1.4.0

Thanks

  • I had similar issue on my environment as well. The issue got fixed when I changed one of my filename (Côte) from unicode character - then it worked fine. Hope this helps.

    Interestingly, it worked fine on my iPhone environment though, the issue was only on Android build environment ;-)

    • I got the same problem and this solutions didn't fix it… nevertheless, it's a shame not to handle correctly all kinds of OS path. There's lot of issues due to this mishandling (ie: c:/user/document and settings…)

    • It works! you can't have images or rutes with characters like í ó á é, etc

    • @Germán please do not comment on 3 year old questions, especially when the question already has the same answer provided as you just gave it. This does not help anyone.

      There are much new questions you can help with than this one.
