Sketch not running :( (Error running javac.exe compiler)

dattasaurabh82

Hello all.

I'm recently trying to run processing in android mode.. I followed this thread and was able to successfully put processing to Android mode. Then I went with a very simple example just to check if it shows up. e.g. sketch:

/**
 * Random. 
 * 
 * Random numbers create the basis of this image. 
 * Each time the program is loaded the result is different. 
*/
 void setup(){
size(200, 200);
 }

 void draw(){
smooth();
background(0);
strokeWeight(10);

for(int i = 0; i < width; i++) {
  float r = random(255);
  float x = random(0, width);
  stroke(r, 100);
  line(i, 0, x, height);
}
 }

When I run this, I got the following error:

"Error from inside the Android tools, check the console "

Now I've no idea about android what so ever but I heard those who develop for android have an emulator installed and they run it there. I'm confused if that's required in case of running it from processing, whether it's automatically installed while I installed SDK and relative packages as mentioned in this thread:

I've windows 8.1 64 bit
Processing 2.2.1
java version 7 update 55.

have you tried searching the forum? because we've seen a lot of these lately

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:forum.processing.org+"Error+running+javac.exe+compiler"

this looks promising:
