Announcement: EMDK issue with Android Studio 1.3 New Project Wizard

Hi Wolfram,
of course is possible, just don't compile the com.symbol.emdk.jar library in your application but specify it as a "provided library". Then you can compile with one of the latest sdk and include the support library.

Take a look at this discussion:

Hi all,
this work-around works only, if you don't use any compatibility libraries. If you create a new project however, the so called "Blank Activity" extends AppCompatActivity. When comiling this with Compile Sdk Version: Symbol Technologies Inc.:EMDK 3.1 (API 16):16, there is a huge number of errors. The only way to get rid of these errors, is to remove every usage of the compatibility library (MainActivity extends Activity, remove com.android.support:appcompat from app Dependencies in Project Structure etc.). Then you will be able to create an app that uses the Zebra EMDK features (barcode scanning, etc.).
If you don't need the EMDK, you can create apps that use the compatibility library and run on the TC55 device. But that's not what you want when using a TC55 device.
I tried to include the EMDK as a library of the project. This compiles with no errors, but crashes on the device.
Does anyone know, how I can use both: the EMDK AND the compatibility library?

Hi Pietro,
thank you for guiding me to the discussion. I followed the tips and got it running successfully! After that, however, I "made the mistake" to install the "Image v1.74.99.17 Android Jelly Bean" on the TC55 device. Now I receive the following error message, when trying to deploy my app: "Installation failed with message INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY." The DWDemo App is still working, so there is no problem with the device itself. I did not change my application. Do you have any idea, what I can do to get it working again?

Hi Wolfgand,
If you installed the GMS version of Android v4.1 on our TC55 (the one with Google Play, Google Maps, etc), then you need to install the enterprise enabler that is available <a href="https://portal.motorolasolutions.com/Support/US-EN/Resolution?solutionI… our support site</a> before installing the EMDK runtime.

Hi Pietro,

I did in fact install the enterprise enabler before installing the EMDK runtime. Please see my last post to <a href="/thread/29756">MC67NA.&nbsp; Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY</a> for details. I have also updated to "Update Image v01.77G for TC55AH and TC55BH Android JellyBean" and then again installed enterprise enabler and EMDK runtime. But I still see the problem.

Kind regards,
Wolfram

Hi Pietro,

finally, I got it working by installing the non-GMS version of the OS and then installing the EMDK runtime.

KInd regards,
