    Hi guys. I created this 2 threads and hope you understand... I'm really having trouble with exporting/generating my game's apk in Android Studio. I'm having a hard time with those errors and still figuring it out. I thought, however, of using Eclipse. But problem is I think Eclipse is not the official... or not any more continuously being supported with regards to Android.
    May I know if anyone here still use Eclipse as of 2017?

    Thanks a lot. I badly need to know so that I can use Eclipse as solution, also if I got mistake, please correct me :)

    Buildbox currently recommends Eclipse.
    https://www.buildbox.com/publish-android-build-for-google-play/
    Eclipse is not dead, Eclipse is a compiler, what really matters is the SDK with which you make the game.
    With Android Studio you will have many problems when creating APK.

    I Use Eclipse, I dont use Android Studio.
    Follow the tutorials...

    Hi, thanks for replying. However I wonder if what would be the difference of an Eclipse generated APK from Android Studio generated APK? Also, are there buildbox games in Google Play that used Eclipse?

    There is no difference in creating a game with Eclipse or Android Studio, but you will have many difficulties in creating it with Android Studio.
    Most games created with BB on Google Play have been export with Eclipse.

    I'll try, Let's start with the errors you're getting. What do the errors say?

    Will your game run in the emulator?

    If you do not want to see the tutorials or manuals listed, do not ask for help.
    If you have seen the tutorials, you would not have the problems it indicates.
