After I upgraded Android Version to 11, I tried to run existing sketches (which run OK with the previous Android version). The sketches fail to run.
I performed an SDK update. This did not help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello @MPROCD ,
You can always try a fresh install or a reset. Proceed with caution!
I don’t often use Android Mode but wanted to test out recent versions.
My environment:
- Windows 10
- Processing 4.4.10
- Android Mode for Processing 4.6.1
- Android 15
While Processing is closed:
- Delete the contents of the preferences folder.
- Delete the android folder from the Sketchbook folder
- Delete AndroidMode folder from the mode folder in the Sketchbook folder
Start Processing and select the Sketchbook folder that you will be using.
I then installed Android mode and everything seemed to work as expected and was able to run sketches on my Android 15 phone.
I use a custom location for my Sketchbook folder and preferences:
I was able to create a sketch and run it on my Android 15 device.
Reference for custom preferences folder location::
Proceed with caution before deleting folders and do so at your own risk.
Ensure you have everything backed up.
What is your environment?
Can you share a minimal sketch that fails and I can try it on my setup.
If you do sort this out please share with details.
This is the Android related contents of my preferences.txt:

Hello @MPROCD,
I had issues with a fresh install of Android mode and the latest SDK.
I installed Processing 4.5.3 and used an older SDK and it worked!
Older SDK had this:
Latest SDK download had this:
I had to modify the preferences.txt manually to add the SDK location:
There were issues trying to add it with the new preferences UI (User Interface) so I abandoned that approach.
At first glance it seems that the new SDK is missing the required base platforms/android-33 package and only contains platforms/android-33-ext*.
I rarely use Android mode and this is what I can share from a quick exploration.
:)
