[Guide] Clickteam Fusion 2.5 Android APK Build Setup on Windows 10 (2025)

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hi Clickteam devs,

    Just wanted to share a working setup for compiling Android APKs using Clickteam Fusion Developer 2.5 on Windows 10 in 2025. If you're running into issues building APKs, this combo of tools should help ensure smooth exporting.


    ✅ Required Software:

    1. Android Studio – Koala Feature Drop | 2024.1.2 Patch 1
    📅 Released: September 17, 2024

    Tip: Use the "Download Options" section for offline installers if needed.

    2. Android SDK Platform – Android 14 ("UpsideDownCake")
    📦 API Level 34, Revision 3
    Install via: Android Studio > SDK Manager > Android API 34
    Make sure to include:

    • Android SDK Platform 34
    • Android SDK Build-Tools 34.x
    • Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest)
    • Google USB Driver (for physical devices)

    3. Java Development Kit – JDK 11.0.27

    ⚠️ Note: You may need to log in to Oracle to access archived JDK versions.


    🛠 Clickteam Fusion 2.5 Setup Steps:

    1. Open Fusion → Tools > Preferences > General
    2. Under Android Exporter Settings:
      • Set Java SDK Location: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11
      • Set Android SDK Location: Usually found at
        C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
    3. Ensure your Android Export Module is activated and updated.

    💡 Additional Notes:

    • Avoid JDK 17+ – Fusion’s Android exporter is optimized for JDK 11.
    • Android 14 (API 34) is confirmed to work with this setup in 2025.
    • Always clean and rebuild your Fusion project after switching SDKs or tools.

    If you’ve had success with other combinations, or encountered issues with this setup, feel free to share your experience here to help others!

    Thanks & happy developing!


    Tested with:

    • Windows 10 64-bit
    • Clickteam Fusion Developer 2.5 (Build R295.10 (Nov 9 2023))
    • Android Export Module licensed
  • True, Installing the correct version of Android Studio is enough.

    I think 99% of current issues when compiling Android in Fusion are usually due to the version of Android Studio.

    - Install the correct version of Android Studio.
    - Configure the paths correctly in Fusion.
    - Install the latest update patch of the build 295.10 of Fusion for Android.
    - Choose the minimum SDK correctly (the one Google says).

    and everything should work fine. :thumbup:
