About this Guide

2024 Guide is up-to-date. [November/21/2024 15:00 pm]
(What's new? - fixed issue: license check not working any longer & repository package updates)

This Guide for Fusion 2.5 Android Exporter keeps you frequently updated with the latest instructions on how to build App files for your Android device since April 2017.
It provides portable setup alternative.
An Android Studio installation is not required when you follow the instructions below, but this solution is always conform with the Android Studio solution for the latest Build.
Since March 2022 Windows versions < 10 are officially no longer supported by this Guide.

This minimalistic Android Guide here on Steam has been updated again on time to support the new Build 295.10 of Clickteam Fusion 2.5.
Originally the Guide was created in early 2017 to provide a solution for a Java oddity which confused many people, but the purpose for it nowadays:
It's more or less an alternative solution for users who try out the Android Exporter for the first time, are also afraid to install Android Studio and want to test how things work first without installing data of a larger setup on their systems, so they could build their own portable
Android build environment with the help of this Guide.

Box for additional information

What changed in Clickteam Fusion 2.5 {version 295} regarding to the build process?
- upgraded from Gradle 6.7.1 to version 7.5

1) Get things ready and downloads

Please start right here

You don't want to store this portable installation on your Windows drive?
You have an external HDD drive D:\ for example? (SSD recommended though)
In this case make sure, whenever the Guide tells you %HOMEPATH%
that you need to replace this part with D:\DesiredFolder\DesiredSubfolder
Otherwise I recommend that you keep the rest of the path structure as described.

► [1] Use the Win + R shortcut for Run box, + make sure to
adjust Administrator with your own user name if necessary + type:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local
or instead type
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local
or very short...
%LOCALAPPDATA%
and then confirm with Enter key to
► [2] ... reach the recommended path location

C:\Users\'Your Username'\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\

= PATH A

Here your task is to manually create a new folder
called Android and then the subfolder android-sdk
Keep this folder(android-sdk) open in front of your eyes.
After you read the below Explanation, please store all .ZIP
archives at one place where you can easily access them
at any time for copy and paste operations
You can find all Download Links after the important Explanation that
begins here now:

Explanation(s) for the Quicker-Reading-Shortcuts in this Guide:

►

create a New FOLDER in current location

►

extract a .ZIP archive

►

rename a FOLDER/FILE to

►

move a FOLDER/FILE into

PATH A

►

the Path explained under [2]

2) Arrange android-sdk folder

build-tools

platform-33_r02.zip

platforms

google_play_services .zip

▼

PATH A\cmdline-tools\

bin

lib

3) Generate/Refresh sdk licenses

inside 'android-sdk' folder, right click and select: New - Shortcut

Type the location of the item:
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\cmd.exe /k sdkmanager --licenses

click on Next

Type a name for this shortcut:
check_licenses

click on Finish
right mouse click on your new Shortcut and select Properties
and now paste into Start in:
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin

hit Apply + OK
make sure that you have a working internet connection
run your Shortcut
when prompted, hit [Y] key and confirm with [Enter] key
(repeat it multiple times for multiple licenses)

4) Fusion Settings

open Clickteam Fusion 2.5 and go to Tools - Preferences - General tab
and set the correct directories for JDK and SDK:

In Fusion 2.5 Preferences it's important that you set the full direct paths.
%HOMEPATH% or equivalent Windows path specials are not supported.

▪ Pathname of the JDK directory:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\cmdline-tools\latest
(adjust the username for JDK directory if necessary)

▪ Pathname of the Android SDK directory:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk
(adjust the username for SDK directory if necessary)

5) Build the App files

in Fusion create a New Application
in Application Settings change Build Type from Windows EXE Application to Android application

then click on the green symbol tab to jump into Android Options:
Build API 33 | Minimum Android version 5.0 | Target Android version 14.0
build the Android application (.apk file or an app bundle type)
File → Build → Application → Save

Fusion 2.5 will now automatically download and install the required gradle files for the first time. (this will take a while)

Depending on your extensions/objects and events, some extra cache files must be updated.
Then a working internet connection is necessary again, if you get a build error otherwise.

END OF GUIDE - Congratulations!

Link structure for this onechanged recently. Thanks for the info.
It's up to date again now. If you get the same error with sdk version 17, try openjdk version 11:

Gracias por su aporte ✨

holy crap, this actually worked. Thank you dear person for this manual. Almost lost my google play developers account, because I could no longer build android applications for such a long time. Much appreciated.

iwisadkiwi 15 Jul, 2024 @ 2:30pm

I've followed your guide, but I'm still having errors, i've send you a friend request. Would be glad if you could help...

LastCycle 2 Jul, 2024 @ 9:32am

Woodjanoi - by any chance does this guide works for API Level 34? or CTF does not support yet api 34?

Cortex Vortex 10 Mar, 2024 @ 10:11pm

I recently did a full factory reset on my computer, and I entirely forgot how I got it up and running last time years ago, and I found this guide on google, and can I just say, this guide did WONDERS for me, thank you SO much, you absolute LEGEND!

Bleepoffb 14 Jan, 2024 @ 6:39am

Where would I get the prompt to hit Y? it only shows
C:\Users\"username"\Desktop\Android\Android-sdk>

Wodjanoi [author] 17 Aug, 2023 @ 1:19pm

Sure - if you can wait for tomorrow I will contact you in the chat - so send me a friend request in the meantime if you want.
Today is a day that is full of too many other tasks.

gay uuu 17 Aug, 2023 @ 9:46am

and I have such a question with 1 point. It says that you need to create a folder and a subfolder, and download the files that you have exposed. But the problem is that:E ► extract a .ZIP archive
R ► rename a FOLDER/FILE to
M ► move a FOLDER/FILE into
PATH A ► the Path explained under [2]
and:
Arrange android-sdk folder
can you explain this in more detail, otherwise I'm new to this business, and I don't understand it,
