Recently I've been having a lot of weird looking requests that would end up reported in Errbit. Initially I thought that it is my fault but after double checking all the JS code, I would still get those errors.
Fixing this is quite easy. Undefined/cache/xxx requests come from Complitly malware chrome plugin. Solution to this is quite simple (source). Just add this to every page you have (or every with a form):
Download both SDK and NDK. After that extract them in the same directory.
Rhodes gem
ruby -v
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-linux]
gem install rhodes --no-ri --no-rdoc

and now the harder part...
Rhodes setup
rhodes-setup
We will ask you a few questions below about your dev environment.
JDK path (required) (): /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
Android SDK path (blank to skip) (): /home/user/Android/android-sdk-linux
Android NDK path (blank to skip) (): /home/user/Android/android-ndk-r10
Windows Mobile 6 SDK CabWiz (blank to skip) ():
BlackBerry JDE 4.6 (blank to skip) ():
BlackBerry JDE 4.6 MDS (blank to skip) ():
BlackBerry JDE 4.2 (blank to skip) ():
BlackBerry JDE 4.2 MDS (blank to skip) ():
Rhodes test app
Now we need a test app that will tell us what errors do we have related to our Ruby version:
rhodes app testapp
cd ./testapp
If you try to run rake -T you won't see any tasks. Instead you'll see path to your Rhodes gem sources:
rake -T
/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/rhodes-3.5.1.12
# go there
cd /home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/rhodes-3.5.1.12
Rakefile changes
We need to make some changes to few files. To see rake tasks, we need to change one thing in Rhodes rakefile:
# I assume you're in Rhodes gem dir
# cd /home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/rhodes-3.5.1.12
# vim Rakefile
# Around line 33 - remove all of this:
module Rake
class Task
attr_accessor :comment
end
end
Now in our app dir we can:
rake -T

rake build:android:extensions # Building native extensioons
rake build:android:rhobundle # Build RhoBundle for android

rake run:android:device # build and install on device

# a lot of tasks...
rake uninstall:android # uninstall from emulator
rake uninstall:android:device # uninstall from device
Android SDK setup
Go to your Android SDK dir and:
chmod +x ./tools/android
./tools/android
And use the Android 4.2.2 (API 17). Below you can see a printscreen of all the elements you need to have installed. If you have a Android L or any higher API than API 17, please remove them. Rhodes seems to have some issues with them.
androidcommon.rb changes
If you try to run your testapp, you will end up with following error:

you need to edit your build.yml file and change:
android:

to 4.2.2 (or any other that you use)
android:

After all of that, you should be able to run:
rake run:android
