[ProN3rd]

apk file is not created.

i have a freh installation of Java SDK (32 Bit) 8.0 Update 31, i use the variables:

• JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_31
  ANDROIDSDK: C:\Android\android-sdk
  Path: %JAVA_HOME%\bin

I have emulated various APIS from API 19 (4.4.2) onwards and various devices. I can install other (non gl basic coded) apk files on Android sdk.

Reply39 (in this thread) dropbox link  wont work any more, I tried it a few days ago but lost it during reinstalling.

I have also GLBasic IDE, Version: 10.202 installed, and it works there in so far as the app gets installed. But when I want to open it on the virtual device, it sais "Unfortunately <App Name> has stopped. I also tried the "ANDROTEST.apk" which I found in some thread here and which is known to work. However i get the same error message after installing via cmd.

For all test i delted icons and the distribute folder, or made entirely new projects. Please help me either make GLBasic IDE, Version: 10.202 work, or the new version. Is there a known configuration which works? What GLBasic IDE, JDK,Android API version run without errors?

EDIT: Now downloading and testing this from reply33 in this thread: http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=9166.msg90174#msg90174

the result is:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

Spacefractal:
Property ant might been missing as Various required Builds tools?

Im Thinks you should remove ANDROIDSDK from the Path, so glBasic uses that one that is include.

Also im also uses Java JDK 1.7, not Java JDK 1.8.

Also make sure to restart after removing ANDROIDSDK var.

Ps. I'm checkout the none wifi crash in the few days.

[ProN3rd]

Thank you guys for the comments, i still cant get this working, this is what i did in detail:

1) Fresh install of Java SDK (32 Bit) 7.0 Update 75,
2) JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_75
3) Fresh install of ANT
4) ANT_HOME = C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\apache-ant-1.9.4
5) Path = %ANT_HOME%\bin;  %JAVA_HOME%\bin
6) Android SDK manager is installed to C:\Android\android-sdk no ANDROIDSDK variable is set yet
7) All Build Tools and Extras within Android SDK are downloaded and installed
8 ) Device emulated: Android 4.4.2. Api Level 19 (willbe running in background from now on)

9) Downloaded GL Basic from the main site (SF`s link) and installed (Its version 12.308 and not v12.312), Restarting after installation. (All previous version were deinstalled, and registry was cleaned with CCleaner)

10) I have downloaded Android Extras 2.7.2 released  2015-Feb-05 , the first link where API 19 is included (http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=9644.msg83746#msg83746)

11) Also downloaded http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=9166.165 , but i think i dont need it its from  2015-Feb-03

12) Also downloaded sdl_main.zip from http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=10106.msg88735#msg88735 , but i think i dont need it

13) First testing without any addons, project settings = Android, newproject = test1

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


WHILE TRUE
DRAWRECT 10,10,100,100,RGB(255,255,0)

WEND


14) error log would exceed 20.000 charachters so i just post some excerpts:

20) no apk file created

Summary: I had the biggest success with just installing the AE including API 19, however the APP doesnt install automatically, and when done by CMD, it wont open ("Unfortunatly <App name> has stopped")

Update: Meanwhile i tested everything with an emulated API 18 device, but this doenst change anything at all. I also tried to install an the  glbasic-debug-unaligned.apk file from the GLBasic_v12\Compiler\platform\android\Android Extras\AndroidSample.app\distribute\Android\bin folder but again: ("Unfortunatly <App name> has stopped")

Questions:
1) Is the code fine? i mean do i need to adjust any resolution things for the device? Its just a small test
2) What about the variable ANDROIDSDK does it need to be set?
3) maybe something is wrong with something else because the apk file from the extras folders wont open on the virtual device after installation?
3) What did I do wrong, why does this not work properly?

[spacefractal]

I'm try to split your Android install issue to own tread by did only moved one post. Until then use this thread. Sorry.

Property it a ant issue, so not can find the build.xml and then fails. When I'm is home I'm will zip anything I'm have from the Android folder which include api 19 sdk and also include ant installed correctly (full install should do that as well, but zip it down just to make sure).

ant_home should property not been included in its path. It's might also point to a wrong folder.

Also only uses api-19, it'd required now and is included with full installer. So defensivt a ant issue.

[ProN3rd]

thank you SF,

i have removed the ANT_HOME variables and also cleared the Path variable, i am testing on API 19 now again with a brand new project:

I get the apk file but, it doesnt install automatically. when doing manually i get "Unforunately <-App name > has stopped" on the virtual device. I get this message everytime I install a glbasic coded apk file. Even those which should be working. I installed other apk and they work.

You need to install it's manually. This due the automatic install was too unstable and ofte hanging

You should uses the debug build for testing, which is only that that working.

But the compiling goes fine.

ok i used the debug version glbasic-debug.apk, but on the virtual device i always get the message:

unfortunatly <app name> has stopped.

maybe me code is wrong because its very simple test, but I get this all the time when i install glbasic apk, even those ones that should be working. What can i do to prevent that?

[spacefractal]

im dosent uses virtual device at all. There might been various issues with emulators or might have conflicted with example glbasic-release-unsigned.apk, so uninstall that first.

You should use a real device, because im really do not support default emulators. The best emulator im do tested with quite succes is "BlueStacks".

Also For eventuelly crashes like that one shown, im need the logcat, which will tell why and where its crash. Its could also been a permission issue in androidmanifest.xml.

But start _logview.bat (Compiler\platform\android\bin) and then its will output the crash log.

i ran the logview.bat and this is the result:

unfortunately i dont have a real device yet, i was hoping wo emulate it at first

downloading bluestacks now

[spacefractal]

"Couldn't load SDL2 from loader". Its failed in System.loadLibrary("SDL2") line, the graphics system (libSDL2.so in distribute\Android\libs\armeabi). Property the emulator is not supported.

PS. YOu can eventuelly post the apk, if you want to test me on a real device. Im do guess all compiling is now fine.

thank you SF the compiling works. I am using BlueStacks now and it works like a charm.
I have installed also your sample from AE extras, nice job.

remains a mystery though why it didnt work on Android SDK, i have tried so many things, but I can change the resolution of BlueStacks, to emulate various devices for my testings

Now, i was wondering how to change my code from my tile based game to fit all possible screen resolutions. I did calculate the max possible tilesize depending on the devices GETSCREENSIZE, and rendering with STRETCHSPRITE. So far it works but it is just a test project, i have several hundreds of sprites in my game. Also the walking speed and everything will be relative to Tilesize. I cant image all the changes . How would you guys approach this?

Maybe I should create another thread for this.

What you can do is create a virtual screen, draw everything onto that and then scale that to fullscreen. You don't have to worry about different sizes then. Or you can start using delta timing and work with floats for movement...

Touch input would have to be configured to the screen size, but evyrthing else will be the same.

[spacefractal]

But virtual screen slowdown about 50% and avoid various issues on some platforms. I'm did not use that for any of my games (not even catchout which could have do that without issue).

So it's seen he does something like I'm did. But of course it's more complicated than way and require using different texture size.

But again it's depend on game and style of graphics and so on.

[Ian Price]

Depends how it's used, but yes it can slow down.

With him using 100s of sprites it's going to slow down A LOT with stretchsprite too. Perhaps the best method would be to use POLYNEWSTRIP?

If he's using the 100s of sprite to create a level (eg background tiles), he could predraw this onto a very large map at the start of the game and just use POLYVECTOR to display it and scale up accordingly.

There are a hundred ways to skin a cat, but a thousand ways to program an effect

[spacefractal]

Hehe yes. I'm did uses polyvector for most thing (tiled and most background). Catchout used it's insertivt from one color image....

greedy mouse die not use precalculated tiles. There can been about 800+ of them due layers. But small thing like hero and such thing used normal sprites.
