Building Failed - Solution / Building failed when binding

[p01t0t0]

Trying to build APK with no luck, i always get "Building Failed". Java is already installed.

[p01t0t0]

After a few hours of struggling, i decided to reinstall my OS - kali light Gave another try with AhMyth and now it can build the APK. Using the following steps to install java and it is working good now. https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-latest-java-jdk-on-debian-8-kali-linux-2-0-and-ubuntu-15-04/

The app is now working, no more issue generating the APK file. The app is working good on my local network. Jut one issue, i cannot bind the generated APK file with another app. Can anyone help!

Brother is there any solution that without reinstalling the OS we can fix the 'building the apk failed' error!

Download the code and open the apk folder in Android Studio or Eclipse, Go to iosocket.java file and change the ip address to your ip address and compile (i did this using Android Studio 3.0 and it is working for me) @p01t0t0

[nehatkkhan786]

brother i have not find any apk folder in the source code. can you please tell me the process if you dont mind. @burhanuday

@nehatkkhan786

1. Download the code by pressing the download button

2. Open Android Studio

3. Press Open existing Eclipse project, in the window, select the Ahmyth-Client folder Wait for gradle build to complete. Install any required build tools and upate project gradle to the latest version when the popup comes up

4. In the IOSocket.java file, find the ip address and port line and change it to your global ip address and the port you have opened on your router

5. Now sign and compile the project, you will have your apk ready

@burhanuday You seem like a nice person and it looks like you know a lot about this. I have downloaded Android Studio and have edited the IOSocket.java file but I am struggling compiling the .apk file. I don't know how to do it. Please clarify from step 3 on wards. I shall be very thankful for your help. I am looking forward to you reply !!!!

I have fixed this problem in my fork of AhMyth, you also dont need Java 8 anymore with my fork of AhMyth as my fork of AhMyth now runs with Java 11 openjdk, I released version 1.0-beta.2 on my fork of AhMyth as it is much more stable than version 1.0-beta.1, you can download the AhMyth setup.exe file for Windows from the link below, it will take you to the newest AhMyth release of v1.0-beta.2 on my fork of AhMyth

https://github.com/Morsmalleo/AhMyth/releases/tag/v1.0-beta.2

Just follow the Windows installation instructions at the bottom of the README.md on my fork of AhMyth, or you can follow my video for it here
