Unable to locate android build tools in the specified location (Oracle ADF Mobile)

If you are facing the error while deploying the Mobile app on the Andriod emulator and the error message says "Uable to locate android build tools in the specified location" in the Platform-tools Folder then the Andriod SDK version that you are trying to install on your local machine has the required files moved to the Build-tools --> 17.0.0 folder. To make it work you need to follow the following steps.

1. Open the Command Prompt as "Run As Administrator".
2. In the Commpand promt execute the Following commands

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
C:\>mklink c:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\build-tools\17.0.0\aapt.exe

How to Handle the Date Parameter for Value set (FND_STANDARD_DATETIME) in Oracle R12

1. Define the Concurrent Program With Parameter as Date and attach the FND_STANDARD_DATETIME and in the PLSQL Block pass the Parameter to the Function defined below.

DECLARE
errbuf varchar2(240) := NULL;
retcode number := 0;
p_date varchar2(30) := '&1';
input_date date := FND_CONC_DATE.STRING_TO_DATE('&1');
BEGIN
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 'Writing to output file' );
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 'Parameter 1 = ' || nvl(p_date,'NULL'));
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 'Converted Date is '||input_date);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG, 'Writing to Logfile to test Date Parameters to
SQL*Plus');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG, 'Parameter 1 = ' || nvl(p_date,'NULL'));
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG, 'Converted Date is '||input_date);
END;
/

PL/SQL Procedure

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE simple_pls (
errbuf out varchar2,
retcode out varchar2,
in_date in varchar2
)
is
input_date date;
begin
input_date := FND_CONC_DATE.STRING_TO_DATE(in_date);
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output,'TEST to OUTPUT file');
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output,'Original Date is '||in_date);
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output,'Converted Date is '||input_date);
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.log,'Test to LOG File');
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.log,'Original Date is '||in_date);
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.log,'Converted Date is '||input_date);

Script to Compile Invalid Objects in a Schema

This procedure recompile invalid objects in a given schema or all invalid objects in the database.

Parameter :
 schema     (IN) - Schema in which to recompile invalid objects  If NULL, all invalid objects in the database are recompiled.

BEGIN
UTL_RECOMP.recomp_serial(p_schema_name);
END;

DESCRIPTION:
This procedure is the main driver that recompiles invalid objects
in the database (or in a given schema) in parallel in dependency
order. It uses information in dependency$ to order recompilation
of dependents after parents.

NOTES:
The parallel recompile exploits multiple CPUs to reduce the time taken to recompile invalid objects. However, please note that recompilation writes significant amounts of data to system tables,
so the disk system may be a bottleneck and prevent significant speedups.

   PARAMETERS:
Threads    (IN) - Number of recompile threads to run in parallel If NULL, 0, or negative, RECOMP_PARALLEL computes a default degree of parallelism as the product of Oracle parameters "cpu_count" and "parallel_threads_per_cpu". On a Real Application Clusters installation, the degree of parallelism is the sum of individual settings on each node in the cluster.
Schema     (IN) - Schema in which to recompile invalid objects If NULL, all invalid objects in the database
                         are recompiled.
Flags      (IN) - Option flags supported (as described above).
   

BEGIN
UTL_RECOMP.recomp_parallel(p_schema_name);
END;
