I am testing out a basic Kotlin-based Android app based on the instructions in the "Kotlin for Android Developers" book. I am using Android Studio 2.1.1.
I have the following build.grade (Project: WeatherApp) setup:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
I have the following build.grade (Module:App) setup:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
buildscript {
ext.support_version = '23.1.1'
ext.kotlin_version = '1.0.2'
ext.anko_version = '0.8.2'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-android-extensions:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.qtimemedia.weatherapp"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
sourceSets {
main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'org.jetbrains.anko:anko-sdk23:0.8.3'
compile 'org.jetbrains.anko:anko-appcompat-v7:0.8.3'
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
I have the following MainActivity.kt code:
package com.qtimemedia.weatherapp
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
message.text = "Hello Kotlin!"
}
}
Here is my activity_main.xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.qtimemedia.weatherapp.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello_world" />
</RelativeLayout>
Here is my strings.xml code:
<resources>
<string name="app_name">WeatherApp</string>
<string name="hello_world">"Hello World!"</string>
</resources>
I am trying to run my MainActivity using the available Nexus 6 API 23 emulator. I have the option "Tools >> Android >> Enable ADB Integration" checked as on (I tried this with it off as well). The emulator appears to be working but my app does not appear to be loading due to a failed build. When running the emulator I see the following messages in the "4: Run" window:
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator.exe -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_6_API_23
Warning: requested ram_size 1536M too big, reduced to 1024M

How can I get the app to compile properly?
