Question

I'm trying to compile my cordova application for Android but I'm getting this error:

[javac] 22 errors[Error] AndroidPackager::build : Impossible de compiler le projet

I'm compiling against Android 17 (4.2.2). The file android-support-v4.jar exists in libs directory.

I'm using just command lines to compile my projects.

Any ideas about this issue ?

Answer 1

I've figured this out: I've copied android-support-v13.jar in CordovaLib\libs directory. It works fine now.
