UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION

luotope

Hi. I'm developing with Arduino and Processing seems to be interestingly similar IDE to create control to it by using Android. So I downloaded and installed both "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030" and "processing-2.1-windows64" and set all needed environment variables in my win7-64. When I try to compile an empty sketch, it compiles and installs it into the Android tablet and starts, obviously showing nothing. But no errors.

When I try the same with very simple example code (rectangles), I will get an error "Error from inside the Android tools". The console output can be found below. It shows "null returned" in the end and refers to ant\build.xml. Before those lines there is a "[dx] UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: [dx] java.nio.BufferOverflowException".

What would you propose I should check to get rid of this? (BTW, the error is the same if I use emulator or device). Thanks for help!!

Just to add more details: if I remove some lines from the code, it goes well. This compiles and starts the emulator:

void setup() {
  size(480,800);
  noStroke();

}

void draw() {

}

But adding any of those four lines in bold below, causes java.nio.BufferOverflowException:

void setup() {
  size(480,800);
  noStroke();
  **fill(255);**
  **rectMode(CENTER);**   
}

void draw() {
**background(#FF9900);**
  **rect(width/2, height/2, 150, 150);**
}

Any ideas? Is it some kind of library reference break? Can this buffer be adjusted somehow? Thanks!

calsign

See this post on StackOverflow, looks like the same issue.

Thanks calsign. The reason is unclear in all posts, but the solution seems to be to downgrade build tools to version 18 instead of 19. That helped me too.

The same post now says you can install the latest version of Android SDK Build-tools. I have just installed 19.0.1 and that fixed the error .
