Enabled symlinks, but fire-app-builder wont work still


I'd like to think I am fairly experienced with Android Studio after a year of playing around with it in my spare time. I've recently wanted to start developing for the Amazon Fire Stick/TV, so I followed the tutorial here, word for word.

The problem I'm encountering has to do with the symbolic linking. I've typed the enable command into both the git and Windows command windows. When I check the status of symlinks in my git shell, it returns true. But when I compile the program my values-en-rUS/strings.xml reads

"../values/strings.xml"

Any help will be greatly appreciated, cheers.


Solution

  • L.Mellor, I updated the Fire App Builder docs with some more instructions that should hopefully address this issue. See the following:

    In particular, after cloning the repo, run the scripts in that second link.

    If you have the chance to try this out and it solves the issue, will you let me know? Thanks.
