I am now behind a firewall that resigns every page with a different certificate. Work related. So every https access is now signed with a self(workplace)-signed-certificate.
As a result, a lot of software is broken.
Android studio lets you store certificates and use those, but gradle still complains.
Short of adding the certificate to the running javavm cacerts with keytool, is there a more gradle-specific solution? (it looks like gradle does not use android-studio's cacerts file)
I had no luck searching for it.
Gradle uses the cacerts file from the JVM, with which it was started (this may be another JVM than Android Studio uses, especially if Android Studio uses a packaged one). So just check the log output from the Gradle build, you should see at the beginning, which JVM it is using.

After a hiatus of a couple of years I'm picking up Android development again.
I installed the newest Android Studio(4.1.1) with the latest Android SDK version (Android 11, API 30). After that I created a new project with gdx-setup.
If I add the old java source to my newly generated project I get this error:
error: package com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android does not exist
I'm not sure how to add this jar into the new project. In the Gradle configuration I see mentions of the backend, but it's not available.
I also downloaded the 'gdx-backend-android.jar' from the nightly build and put the jar in the Android library folder, all to no avail.
Does anyone actually know how to correctly add this dependency into my project?
I added the jar but still have an error, don't mind the other errors, I first need to fix the GDX import.
The project dependencies are managed by Gradle, so there is no need for you to directly touch any .jar files at all.
The most likely issue you're facing is that you are trying to use Android-specific classes from the core module, which is platform agnostic.
In a typical libGDX project, you do almost all your game code in the core module so it can easily be compiled for any platform. The code you showed above would be in the android module, but your LiveWallpaperStarter class would be part of core.
Some might say there's no reason to use core at all if you're making a Live Wallpaper, since it can't run on any other platforms besides Android. But there is some advantage in keeping the rendering in core so you can test in a desktop game window, because you can more rapidly compile and run on the desktop. This library has some tools that make it easy to wrap your rendering code in a class that lets you simulate a live wallpaper on desktop, for testing.
I downloaded Android studio from their website for windows. It contained 790 Mb. But there is a message shown like
SDK is missing
I followed answers for this issue of missing android studio SDK in here. But my problem is not solved yet.
I have another problem. There is a message shown
SDK does not contain any platforms
when I chose the SDK location by going to configure > project defaults > project structure.
May be some files are not downloaded,try again with your internet connection.It will ask to download some additional files, press allow.
this problem faced by almost everyone due to network problem .
You can easily resolve this error. I suggest you ,if any of your friends already installed android studio then copy sdk from him/her and paste into your sdk path and don't forget to delete sdk.
In this process ,your internet should work so that rest of the things it can download .
this is the best and easy way to resolve sdk error.After that you can download platform tools easily by going to settings>>Android sdk>> sdk tools.
Open the SDK Manager to download the NDK bundle.When your download completed, maybe there'r two different folders you have. One is ndk-bundle the other is ndk/22.0.7026061(the version you choose to download). And just use the behind one
As the log said before. Make sure you have config the ndk.dir in local.properties or the system global path variable.Or you also can open the project structure dialog to choose the Ndk location.Still use the behind folder( ndk/22.0.7026061).
If you have config it and still have the same problem.you can use the SDK Manager to download the NDK lower version one（like 21.0.6113669）.Cause it may not match to your AS version
Then repeat the step two
That's work nice for me
My question is quite simple but it seems I cannot find the answer on the web and since dexGuard does not have a trial period I cannot test it myself.
Can I generate an unsigend apk obfuscated/encrypted with dexguard in Android Studio. I've been told that is not possible because the signature is used during the obfuscation/encryption process but I feel like I'm missing something.
I would like to know if I can obtain the same result I obtain with "assemble release" gradle task with proguard enabled but using dexguard instead for a better protection.
Thank you for your help
Dexguard is a better version than Proguard so it has all the functionalities that has its little brother. From the Dexguard docs:
The procedure for building Android applications and libraries remains
the same. You can invoke gradle with the usual targets, such as
assemble, build, install, and connectedInstrumentTest. For instance,
to build the release version of your application and install it on a
connected device:
gradle installRelease
To build the release version of a library:
gradle assembleRelease
Debug builds use debug settings, without
optimization or obfuscation. Release builds use release settings, with
full optimization and obfuscation. Applications can optionally be
signed. The entries in application archives are always zip-aligned for
efficiency.
Additionally you can use the Standalone version which makes DexGuard run from the command line. By using this you can post-process an existing Android application (.apk file).
I only use Dexguard to obfuscate a Library in Standalone mode but I am pretty sure it will work.
What do Android Studio modules produce? e.g. a jar per module, an apk per module?
How do dependencies between modules affect these?
Or is it solely an IDE fiction?
Well if you are getting started I would advice you check out this page:
https://developer.android.com/tools/projects/index.html It contains what you seek.
"There are only a handful of files and folders generated for you, and some of them depend on whether you use Android Studio or the android tool to generate your module. As your application grows in complexity, you might require new kinds of resources, directories, and files."

I'm new to VS, coming from the Mac where I used the excellent CodeKit for LESS compiling. I've installed the Web Essentials add-on, so I have basic LESS support and compiling.
The major shortcoming with this plugin is when saving files that are imported into a main.less file, the main.less file does not compile unless I open it specifically and save it.
I'd prefer a solution like CodeKit, which would compile the parent file if any of the children are modified. Are there any other plugins, even commercial ones, which do this?
There's an option in Web Essentials to "compile all LESS files", which would almost do what I want, but it throws an error:
In WebEssentials there is an option (tools>Options>WebEssentials>Less) to Compile all files on Build, which you'll probably do before publishing anyway. You might want to add your votes to the UserVoice ticket for this issue.
BundleTransformer allows you to have ASP.NET do the transformations on the fly (at runtime), having it compile, minify and compress all in one go. You won't have to recompile your files inside Visual Studio itself. You can keep using WebEssentials for intellisense.
And then there is the Mindscape Web Workbench which provides similar functionality as Webessentials. Their Pro edition ($) can also compile files on save & build.
I personally prefer http://wearekiss.com/simpless You can use it even in Express edition since it's not integrated inside VS.
Just open the Simpless drag and drop the file and it will compile your file automatically when they has been modified from your VS (or any of editor).
Web Essential is also have suggest in someone answer.
