i am trying to run the sample code provided in the thingworx android sdk
I have a problem in every sample project
it says cant resolve the constructor
thing = new VirtualThing(thingName, "A basic virtual thing", client);
because the client is not initiialized
similarly
client.isConnected() is also showing error
i dont know what 'client' is because the variable is also not declared anywhere.
kindly tell the solution

Hi Dibya, it seems to me that your project is not correctly setup in studio, here's the blog you could use to correct it Exploring ThingWorx Android SDK together with web based Revision Control System and secured connection to ThingWorx Serv…

Hi dibya ranjan mishra,
Have you added the ThingWorx Android SDK jars to your project?
yes i have added. I just had to import the sample project in the android studio
Could you just run the exampleconnection project and check if it is working or not
From where have you downloaded this project? Could you share the link?
BTW are you executing this project on Win 10?
sir
actually i corrected that error
it was importing some AndroidConnectedThingClient
but I guess thingworx has changed it to ConnectedThingClient
because i extracted all the 2 jar files I could not find AndroidConnectedThingClient.class
Its better if you could see the sample codes and change it to ConncetedThingClient
https://developer.thingworx.com/resources/guides/thingworx-android-sdk-setup-guide
i got the android sdk from here and then trying to run the ExampleConnection project present in the samples folder of android sdk

I apologize for my mistake
it was showing error in the beginning
but the real error was in gradle dependancies
then this thing works fine
I am extremely pleased with the way you have responded to my problem
Thank you so much.
Hope to get this support though out
Yeah this is why i was wondering if there was anything during the build process. Anyhow glad it has worked out for you.
