You need to update the Gluon plugin for your IDE, so you can generate a project with updated dependencies. Current versions of the plugin are 2.5.0 for NetBeans and IntelliJ, 2.4.0 for Eclipse.
For a single view project, this will be the build.gradle file you will get:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'org.javafxports:jfxmobile-plugin:1.3.6'
}
}
apply plugin: 'org.javafxports.jfxmobile'
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url 'http://nexus.gluonhq.com/nexus/content/repositories/releases'
}
}
mainClassName = 'com.gluonhq.testplugin.GluonTestPlugin'
dependencies {
compile 'com.gluonhq:charm:4.3.5'
}
jfxmobile {
downConfig {
version = '3.3.0'
// Do not edit the line below. Use Gluon Mobile Settings in your project context menu instead
plugins 'display', 'lifecycle', 'statusbar', 'storage'
}
android {
manifest = 'src/android/AndroidManifest.xml'
}
ios {
infoPList = file('src/ios/Default-Info.plist')
forceLinkClasses = [
'com.gluonhq.**.*',
'javax.annotations.**.*',
'javax.inject.**.*',
'javax.json.**.*',
'org.glassfish.json.**.*'
]
}
}
You have an issue with the Android SDK path. This question shows how to solve it.
Basically:
Open the Android SDK Manager and make sure you have installed Extras/Google Repository and Extras/Android Support Repository.
Remove the androidSdk line from the android block on your build.gradle file and move it to a properties file. For that, just create a properties file under C:\Users\<user>\.gradle\gradle.properties, and add the ANDROID_HOME variable: ANDROID_HOME=C:/<path.to.Android>/sdk.
Then reload your project, see that it works on desktop, and then deploy to mobile.
