Try using our IDE, I think it will work there

#6

i used it
it shows same error

#7

Can you send me the source code of the extension?
I would like to take a look to it

#10

Which Java version are you using?

#12

java jdk1.8.0_181

#13

You have some errors in your code:

  • description = Animation view extension has to be description = "Animation view extension"
  • iconName = “https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_J49XeERpMmw1rKAmQqZKlDSqrAAGytt” is not a supported icon. You need to find a file URL which ends in .png, .jpg or whatever, not Google Drive

And then, it looks like the error comes from the library you are using, not from your code:

This is no lib bug :smiley:
This means he not use the correct java version.
Too why is there a local path?!
And why is in the path the Man app inventor source?

You have to learn how extensions and java works.
I cant help you.

All I can say is you have to look at the error message.

You did not imported a library that your code needs.
Example:
import android.animation.ObjectAnimator;
