I want to use the D8 tool instead of DX on the extension-template repository

buxalikaloi · October 15, 2024, 2:18am

I've modified the extension-template repository as PX-Builder. Here is the dexing ant script:

buxipro/px-builder/blob/main/build.xml#L143


      
          <target name="dexAllExtensions" depends="jarAllExtensions">
            <foreach target="dexExtension" param="extension">
              <path>
                <fileset dir="${ExternalComponent-class.dir}" >
                  <include name="*.jar"/>
                </fileset>
              </path>
            </foreach>
          </target>
          
          <target name="dexExtension" depends="">
            <basename property="extensionType" file="${extension}" suffix=".jar"/>
            <java jar="lib/appinventor/dx.jar"
                  fork="true"
                  failonerror="true">
              <arg value="--release"/>
              <arg value="--min-api"/>      
              <arg value="26"/>
              <arg value="--no-desugaring"/>      
              <arg value="--output"/>
              <arg value="${ExternalComponent.dir}/${extensionType}/classes.jar"/>

Please help me to change the DX tool to D8.

                 <pathelement location="lib/android/d8.jar"/>
               </classpath>
          <!--      TODO: add min api, android.jar lib, main dex list?-->
