I had developed a few simple examples for Andorid with Processing 3.3.7.
Today I upgraded my Processing to 3.5.3. and again tried to build the simple sketch
void setup() {
fullScreen();
noStroke();
fill(0);
}
void draw() {
background(204);
if (mousePressed) {
if (mouseX < width/2) {
rect(0, 0, width/2, height); // Left
} else {
rect(width/2, 0, width/2, height); // Right
}
}
}
The build fails with error message:
Build folder: C:\Users\Lee\AppData\Local\Temp\android218213834234816218sketch
org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle distribution ‘https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.3-bin.zip’.

I searched for “Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle” here at this forum with out success.
What should I try to do next?
It works for me. how have you made the upgrade. I just extracted all the folders into a new folder, and deleted the old build.

I made a new folder for the new version. I have not deleted the old version. The old version reports the same errors.
I guess I need help understanding the error message to make progress.
Although I wish I could understand it so I could fix it, I need to make progress.
Is it likely I need to remove the android SDK and reinstall it to fix the gradle problem?
If so how?
Ok so I now understand what gradle is, not sure if downloading its a requirements before being able to build android sketches, however providing that you have processing installed and you’ve installed android mode then it should run fine. If not try downloading gradle and setting your environment variables correctly. Note that you will have to have an up to date java installation to do this, and again you will need to have environment variables pointing to your java install path.
Also yes it could be worth uninstalling and reinstalling.
