Delphi Kiosk mode template issue with C++ Builder (can find xml)

Question

I could desperately use some help with finding out why Embarcadero's Android Kiosk Lock mode template is having issues deploying. I have C++ Builder 11.0 Alexandria, moved PAS files over and compiles and links. However, when I deploy per Embarcadero directions, I get this error.

[PAClient Error] Error: E2312 C:\Users\rodge\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\Projects\fun\Source\Android\Debug\Kiosk\AndroidManifest.xml:69: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'resource' with value '@xml/device_owner_receiver').

The stock device_owner_reciever.xml file contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<device-admin xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <uses-policies>
        <limit-password/>

        <expire-password/>
        <encrypted-storage/>
        <disable-camera/>
    </uses-policies>
</device-admin>

I have tried adding to resource and as a file. What am I missing here?

Answer 1

you must add the resource to the deployment

1. press Project - Deployment
2. select configuration (release/debug)
3. press Add Files and find the file: device_owner_receiver.xml (you find it in xml folder)

the result should be:

   local path = xml\
   local name = device_owner_reciver.xml
   remote path = res\xml
   remote name = device_owner_reciver.xml
