Getting error while compiling appinventor

[AkshatRana]

Hello Appinventors!

I made some components for my offline appinventor but i am getting some compile errors related to ComponentsTranslation.java

Any help will be appreciated,

1. Did you make any changes in ComponentsTranslation.java?
2. Is any code of your newly added components big?
   I mean is any of your components code too long?

[AkshatRana]

@SRIKAR_B.S.S

Did you make any changes in ComponentsTranslation.java ?

Actually i discovered it for first time

@SRIKAR_B.S.S

I mean is any of your components code too long

Yeah but not too big i have added 20 ads components code

[SRIKAR_B.S.S]

@AkshatRana

Yeah but not too big i have added 20 ads components code

You may have some issues if your java files are too big...
But for now I don't know anything
Sorry

@AkshatRana

adSizeParams())

Did you add these messages in OdeMessages.java file?

[AkshatRana]

No i havent.. so that's why its causing errors?? if yes what is the correct way to add these messages

[ewpatton]

Typically if you've added new components the component processor will add the entries automatically to the AutogeneratedOdeMessages file, which is a parent interface of OdeMessages, so it is unnecessary to manually add the entries to OdeMessages. Can you verify that AutogeneratedOdeMessages was updated in the build artifacts?

[Know_About_IT]

Follow @ewpatton 's suggestion or a temp fix may be

@DefaultMessage("")
  @Description("Just to make ai2 compile :D")
  String adSizeParams(); 

@DefaultMessage("")
  @Description("Just to make ai2 compile :D")
  String strParams(); 

@DefaultMessage("")
  @Description("Just to make ai2 compile :D")
  String iParams(); 

@DefaultMessage("")
  @Description("Just to make ai2 compile :D")
  String adsNumberParams(); 

@DefaultMessage("")
  @Description("Just to make ai2 compile :D")
  String primaryImageSizeParams(); 

@DefaultMessage("")
  @Description("Just to make ai2 compile :D")
  String secondaryImageSizeParams(); 

@DefaultMessage("")
  @Description("Just to make ai2 compile :D")
  String secondaryImageSizeParams();

Now getting 100s of error ... i am showing only 1 for refernce

[javac]   symbol:   method appLovinInterstitialComponentPallette()
    [javac]   location: variable MESSAGES of type OdeMessages
    [javac] E:\appinventor-sources\appinventor\build\components\ComponentTranslation\src\com\google\appinventor\client\ComponentsTranslation.java:370: error: cannot find symbol

    [javac] 100 errors

is that because of this??

[Know_About_IT]

make Strings for every one

@DefaultMessage("")
@Description("Just to make ai2 compile :D")
String AppLovinInterstitialHelpStringComponentPallette();

[Know_About_IT]

@AkshatRana

Now getting 100s of error

after one error solved, others do display

[AkshatRana]

should i try replacing ode messages with the default and then try rebuilding??

[Know_About_IT]

well, same errors will come again, errors are because of auto generated stuff for params

[AkshatRana]

as @ewpatton said

@ewpatton

Typically if you've added new components the component processor will add the entries automatically to the AutogeneratedOdeMessages file, which is a parent interface of OdeMessages, so it is unnecessary to manually add the entries to OdeMessages.

so i thought that if i will replace odemessages then it will work

[AkshatRana]

I dont think so that its in odemessages.java as its occuring in components translation

[Know_About_IT]

well, my friend, components translation is dependent on OdeMessages

[AkshatRana]

i think problem is here as it cant access auto generated messages class

[Know_About_IT]

MESSAGES.BlaBla() takes value of specific string form odemessages.java, if its not found, compile will fail

[Know_About_IT]

@AkshatRana

i think problem is here as it cant access auto generated messages class

well, did u modify autogeneratedodemessages.java?

[Know_About_IT]

AutoGenerated ones are generated automatically during compilation, just run ant clean to clean it
