Running Poynt Simple android into terminal

I can’t run Poynt-Simple android app on the terminal cause terminal API is less than minSdk 19.
i’m using android studio.

Poynt Terminal runs Android Kitkat 4.4.4. So the android-API (sdk) version is 19. Can you point us to which Poynt-Simple android app you are referring to ?

i downloaded the sample from github : https://github.com/search?utf8=✓&q=poynt
when i run the app on terminal from my android studio, this error shows up : no compatible device : min sdk 19 > device sdk API 1 .

Hi there,

could it be related to the issue discussed on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30633271/android-error-no-minsdkapi-19-devicesdkapi-1? Have you enabled developer mode on your device? If not, please follow the instructions at http://poynt.github.io/developer/tut/developer-mode.html.

Thanks Dennis. I do that but i have the same problem . min sdk 19 > device sdk API 1 .

what do you see when you type “adb devices” on the command line?

“Serial Number” unauthorized

Try going into Developer options on the device and an see whether USB debugging is enabled If so Tap on REVOKE USB DEBUGGING AUTHORIZATION WHILE the USB cable is removed and then connect the usb cable and authorize your pc on the pop -up

i do that but still have the same problem.

Are you sure that you have sdk version 19 installed,
Use the sdk manager in android studio for this purpose

Yes. i’m sure :confused:

Did you try rebooting the device
and did the device ask for authorization once you “revoked usb debugging authorization”

Yes many times :confused:

:expressionless:

did it show something like this after “revoked usb debugging authorization”
and connecting the usb

No, nothing is displayed

You may also want to try running “adb kill-server” and then “adb devices”

May be the device is not put in developer mode ?

Hello
I would like to let you guys know that i have been able to run successfully my app demo on the poynt terminal device. I had an issue with some of the files under the usb_driver folder, so i update my android studio adb and everything seem to run smoothly. Thank you so much for your help
