I just migrated my engine source code from one PC to other one then I built the android development at the end it stopped at following step for a day.

Android development building stuff have so many problems such like sometimes it disappeared and the migration real not friendly for developer.

I wasted over one week to work out how to build successful an android development source code but it still have the problem in engine source code migration .

can ur guys fix there couples of issues in the future?

Ryuikuya,

Could you please show me how your Android SDK is set up within the Editor (include screenshots). It would also be helpful if you could tell me whether or not you built the engine for Android since you’re using source.

You may want to check the [Android Documentation][1] out as well.

Setting Up Unreal Engine Projects for Android Development | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation

I built the development and I am building android development in source code engine . haven’t created any projects yet

When you started building your engine in Visual Studio, did you build the following:

  • UE4 target for Development Editor > Win 64
  • UE4 target for Development > Win 64
  • ShaderCompileWorker target for Development > Win 64
  • UnrealFrontend target for Development > Win 64
  • UE4 target for Development > Android
  • UE4 target for DebugGame > Android
  • UE4 target for Shipping > Android

If Visual Studio is not building the engine for you, it’s possible that some files went missing or became corrupted when you transferred them between computers. Have you tried downloading our engine from GitHub again?

Also, which version of Visual Studio are you using?

5

My building order is following:

UE4 target for Development > Win 64
UE4 target for Development Editor > Win 64
UE4 target for Development > Android

My source code is 4.10.1 and VS2015.
when I transferred them between computers, I just copy one computer’s built successful engine source code to other one

6

Visual Studio is not building the engine stop at below step, it seems like to try to write something and stop at this step forever, I hope if something is unsuccessful at least it have a error information for me how to deal with it or something.

Ryuikuya,

Is there any way that you can show me which point it’s just pausing on? As long as you’re moving over the full build, including all files and dlls you should not be experiencing any trouble.

You may want to screenshot your Visual Studio if it pauses again and you cannot save any of the information.

Since you haven’t been able to build on this new computer, could you simply download the Github version again and try with fresh files?

Thank you!
