So first fix is, android.supportV4=true

unfortunately the same fix wont work for v7.. So I copied android-support-v7-appcompat.jar from adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\libs into native\android

This got rid of all errors apart from: 


-code-gen:

I am trying to use the fullscreen video adverts from here: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/android/interstitial

If anyone has done this successfully please let me know, this library should do it, if I can get around the compile issues on server side:

On my simulator I simply see a codenameone logo, and I cannot get it to build the Android one on the server as described above!

Thanks,
Gaz.

Actually I am assuming the server is undergoing some sort of upgrade, because even a clean fresh project returns errors for me right now.  I hope this is the case anyway because every build I send fails, even a fresh project, with the following errors:

We had a bit of an issue trying to workaround some issues with our update to support lollipop. We ended up restoring the problematic functionality, hopefully we will be able to resolve the issues in the next couple of days.

Ah yeh, all that compatibility stuff with Android is very annoying, I trust you guys know far too much about it now :) Me too unfortunately.
