Title: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2011-Apr-23
Hi,

http://www.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe (http://www.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe)

This version is the current release candidate of V10. This version can also gain live-updates.

For Android develpment you need to:
-Install a Java JDK, 32 bit
-install the GLBasic beta setup but to GLBasic_beta - Don't install to GLBasic(beta) - braces will make things bad
-Make a project of your choice and move to a path with no spaces
-Set platform options for Android
-Plug the device in
-Make sure the drivers are installed. (might need to install the Android SDK for that?)
-Build for android -> it will copy the Media to the temp project directory and install it on your device.

Feedback appreciate. Warning - this is a release candidate - no stable release, yet.

Kitty Hello... I love you! MWAH XXXX

;)

EDIT: Before you attempt to build, make sure you set your Java JDK path in your environment variables or you'll receive this error:-

*** Error: Environment variable JAVA_HOME must be set to JDK path
Please install the Java Development Kit and set the variable.
Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.xx

If you have the IDE open at the same time as adding the above, you'll need to restart the IDE to catch the path or you'll end up getting the same error.

Right... I just ran Nags Heed Darts on me phone (HTC Desire)... It ran though, here's what I'm getting

- no music (Music is mp3)
- sound is fine
- file system stuff seems to work
- mouse commands seem to be grafting

Though, my original code base is based on 320x480 for iOS, now, when I add this to project settings to match the original, and load it onto my phone, it doesnt scale to suit the whole of the devices screen... I used a library once called libgdx which is an Android based one, and basically, when I was using it, I just emphasised 320x480 in the init code and the engine scretched to suit... 

Is there any you could implement such a scaling feature behind the scenes Gernot, which obviously doesnt just scale the screen, but also handles touch events too?

This would be a bit of a boon IMO, because if I have to convert this manually, as well as Logic Battleships, I'll be suicidal :D

Slight problem with extended types when compiling for Android :

C:\Users\Nicholas\AppData\Local\Temp\glbasic\gpc_tempg.cpp: In member function 'DGNat __GLBASIC__::TGui::LoadData(__GLBASIC__::TGrid&)':
C:\Users\Nicholas\AppData\Local\Temp\glbasic\gpc_tempg.cpp:1132: error: exception handling disabled, use -fexceptions to enable

Where do you get the swt.jar file from ?  Its not in the Android SDK - do you have to install it from the Eclipse setup ?

Keeps coming up with :

QuoteWARNING: Java not found in your path.
Checking if it's installed in C:\Program Files\Java instead (64-bit).

Java was found at C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe.
Please consider adding it to your path:

At the end of the "Path" entry in "User variables", add the following:

'"java.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

However, it is in both the local and system PATH settings  (and I can run java.exe directly from the command line) :

I restart GLBasic after each change.  Windows 7 x64...

Yeah, when it asks where you want to install it, remove the brackets in the file path and setup so it looks like C:\Program Files\GLBasic_beta, install as usual and you'll have a shadow copy running alongside your proper install.

Make sure you create a new env variable, mine is:-

Yes, I think JAVA_HOME had the wrong value.

However, I now get this :

Dunno Mr T, The only thing I've added was the JAVA_HOME thing, and it all worked... I have had my computer setup for Android development for ages mind... I'll have a peek and see if I can track it down!

Right, I've found it in here:-

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\x86

Its also located in here:-

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\x86_64

I'm on XP SP3, though, I dont know if you can remember the shenanigans with Vista and the minGW compiler path thingy me bob when you wanted to build modules in BlitzMax, maybe, just maybe, this is the same problem, or related!?!

Hmm : "ERROR: SWT folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\lib\x86_64' does not exist."  - wonder if it doesn't like spaces :)

Yes, doesn't like spaces.  However, still wont compile :

Right, I've had a look and it seems that the problem here is that you need to configure the Android SDK, I havent a clue what mind, lol, but, what I've done to my SDK in the past is installing the newest components from Google,  setup an emulator, as well as installing the USB connection driver whatsit... Which, I think, is what the problem is...

I setup my SDK through Eclipse, so, my guess is your best going to the Android site, go to the SDK installation instructions and follow them till you get to the point where you can create a AVD, as well as making sure while setting up you install the USB driver.

Bugger!

Basically, what you've done is what I've done, I literally have done nothing different that springs to mind, but, going off Google, it does look like its something to do with the SDK, but the answer isnt on there!?!

So, last thing I can think of is that by any chance could someone try this on Windows 7 32bit (Or Windows 7 64bit) to see what results they get... As I'm running XPSP3 and all seems well!

Right, with the USB plugged in, can you go to Apps->Settings->Applications

Then check if the these are ticked:-

- Unknown Sources                                       <---- Probably doesnt matter as the app gets signed as a debug app, but switch it on regardless
- Development->USB debugging                   <---- Important

Ah, I can't connect my tablet as there is no port for it to do so - in which case it does look as though the device must be connected...
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Dabz on 2011-Apr-23
Well, at least we know whats wrong... I had a feeling it had something do to with the USB cable, but I never realized you couldnt plug one in! :D

Anyway, what you've done isnt wasted, you can still build them...

Create a AVD (Android emulator) and get it running, then, try and build the project again... On my machine, when the phone is disconnected but the emulator is running, the application gets shunted onto the AVD (Note: Some stuff may not work as expected on an AVD as it does on hardware, this doesnt just apply to GLBasic apps, it happens even with native stuff)

Then, if its possible, you can just manually move the APK package that's  built onto your device and install it from there for actual testing on hardware (You may need to manually sign the app with keytool/jarsigner first)... That is, if its possible for you to do this.

Thing is though while testing, on the AVD, the application runs perfectly in a sense that my app is stretched to fit the screen, whereas on my actual device, its not, also, the colour parameter for DrawRect looks like its ignored on the AVD (Stays white) but works as expected on the device.

Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Dabz on 2011-Apr-23
Right, managed to get the resolution to shift up a bit by editing t the AndroidManifest.xml file:-

Code (glbasic) Select

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.denathorngames.nagsheeddarts"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
  <supports-screens android:resizeable="false"
                  android:smallScreens="true"
                  android:normalScreens="true"
                  android:largeScreens="true"
                  android:anyDensity="false" />
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:debuggable="true">
        <activity android:name="org.libsdl.app.SDLActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>


Note this line:-

Code (glbasic) Select

android:anyDensity="false"


This makes Android scale the application, though, its not the general 'done thing', but works on my HTC Desire... The proper way is to scale everything up, but, that would mean changing loads of code, redoing my LoadBMP images etc etc

I'll get something up, push it about on a few devices and see whats what! :)

But, overall, it works well for me (apart from mp3's not playing, though, I will try OGG), and I must say, brilliant job!  :good:

Dabz

EDIT: Tried .ogg, it plays the file, sorta, I say sorta because you can hear the music, but its barely audible behind what I can only describe as machine gun fire! :)

Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Apr-23
Unfortunately, even with an AVD running, the build failed.  It does look like a Windows 7 x64 problem or something is missing...

Do you have the NDK installed ?  I have the  Android 2.2 SDK installed - is that the right version ?

Nope, I havent installed the NDK... And yep, 2.2 is the one!

Some extended feedback; basic tested both in the emulator and Android device:

These work:
- 2d drawsprite/rotosprite/transparency
- 3d with poly colors and textures
- loadsprite/loadfont/loadsound
- alphamode
- playsound
- platform info including battery
- portrait/landscape; no need to set width/height
- getjoy sensor
- compiled and run old game
- compiled only box2d

These are not working properly:
- no device for platforminfo
- print; odd stretching for certain words/length
- drawrect/drawline; no color only white  :S
- poly draw not tested

Sounds like a device must be connected to compile then - which unfortunately rules out my current tablet...  Unless I get a USB to RJ-45 cable :)

Would it be possible so that compilation isn't dependant on a machine being present ?

I can compile for an AVD, I've done it... I've tested all screen resolutions under the emulator, plus, a running a 160DPI version of Nags...

No questions, I've sent Gernot the APK file and everything... This does work on my machine!!!

How so?

Because I've never need to use Eclipse for GLBasic apps... Eclipse is an unzip and be done IDE, as far as I know, it doesnt touch the registry, it makes no assumptions of work places... Its basically WYSIWYG.... This is why... You dont need it!

Wonder why mine dont - ironically the Windows 7 manages to get much further than XP (which fails more or less straight away) :)

in compiler/platform/android/bin, there's a file glb_build.bat
There's a line:
call "%ANDROIDSDK%\tools\ant\bin\ant.bat" install -q

change that to
call "%ANDROIDSDK%\tools\ant\bin\ant.bat" debug

-> It should build the APK without a device now.

Okay, I'll give that a go!

Much more info now : [aapt.exe] C:\Users\Nicholas\Documents\GLBasic\Utilities\Plasma\android\AndroidManifest.xml:8: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/icon').

The manifest file contains :

Quote<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

      package="com.YOURCOMPANY_LOWERCASE.APPNAME"

Got it compiling now!  Turns out a new project had to be created - the one I was using (a V8 one) didn't have all the needed details...

My AndroidManifest.xml file:-

Code (glbasic) Select


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.denathorngames.nagsheeddarts"

Though, please note, I've added the section:-

Thats how I worked out it was the project contents causing the problem - note that in mine, the company fields aren't filled in.

Works fine on my tablet  :happy: I have to go through the network and install by copying from my machine to the tablet, which, as the screen is unresponsive, can take a while  :glare:

Would be handy if someone (ie Kitty :) ) did a V8 -> V9 project converter :)

Quoteeriously, I'm pleased you got it working MR T!
Same here too :)

can take a while

I've found first load takes some doing, but afterwards,the app loads pretty quickly..
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Apr-25
I meant that the screen is unresponsive - the loading time is pretty okay.

Further to the error message I was getting (Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/icon')), the problem is cause due to the fact that icons are only created when a project is created...

Testing on my Vector Editor program.  As previously stated, blue lines aren't being draw (or perhaps are the wrong colour - ie, black :) )

Grey rectangles are coming out white...

Now got a stylus for my tablet - works much better now!

I've included a picture of how it should look and what it does look like

Not sure but it looks like the build fails - even though the compiler returns with a success notification. All seems to go well until the following

I am on Win 7 Home Prem. 64 bit with Java SDK (32 bit). I do have the Android SDK and Ant also separately installed however neither of these are set as environmental variables so I don't think they are being used.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Apr-26
Make sure that the ANDOID_SWT system variable is set.  Might be worth activating verbose mode too - see Kitty's post about that.

And if its an old project, it will fail due to the fact that the android icon isn't present...

Have a look at this : http://ycsoftware.net/error-occurred-during-initialization-of-vm-windows-7-windows-xp/

They seem to be saying that the Java Virtual Machine is corrupt...

This one http://geekycoder.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/java-tips-adventure-in-resolving-the-java-error-error-occurred-during-initialization-of-vm/ states that are there duplicate java.exe files, with the wrong one being found (and used).

Would also be worth checking JAVA_HOME and PATH too...

I get:

BUILDSRIPT
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed

The build.xml is where it should be and there are no spaces or funny characters to that directory.

Does it matter that GLBasic_beta is in my "Program Files (x86)" directory?

I know my Android SDK works as I have used it from Eclipse and another basic.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Apr-26
That should be fine.

My installations are at :

C:\Program Files (x86)\GLBasic
C:\Android
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25

Perhaps there are spaces in your GLBasic project directory ?
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: BigAnd on 2011-Apr-26
No, no spaces to the project file but thanks for asking.

Will try moving the other bits around and see if it helps.

I can't yet compile for Android... but in the meantime, I've got one very strange issue with this beta.

Compiled Windows executables crash immediately after starting!  :blink:

I'm using WinXP in VirtualBox.
Those exes run fine in non-virtual Windows and in OSX.
Executables from non-beta GLB in VirtualBox are OK too.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK

Well for my works all OK, on windows 7 x64.
Well the emulator works, but it´s very very slow, running the android OS under virtual Box, is very fast the S.O, but I don´t know how send the .apk file into android under Virtual BOX.
Any link, or suggestion for made this?¿. Seems in Virtual Machine the OS, runs very very fast.

@MrTAToad

Yeah, its a new project. I have tried moving things around also but still no joy. Will keep messing though.

Got it working by moving my source to the C drive from D.

Things I have noticed:
The accelerometer works in reverse for left, right and up, down from the iPhone.
The multi-touch doesn't work. It only sees the first touch.
MP3 music didn't play but WAV sound fx are fine (as noted above I believe).

Amazed that it worked as well as it did with zero code changes.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Apr-27
Indeed - what's left to do isn't that much really.

The compiler can't handle TRY/CATCH/THROW unfortunately - hopefully that will be sorted, otherwise I'll be needing to change a bit of code :)

I've had a report back from my test build of Nags that I've distributed that sound (PlaySound) doesnt work on LG Optimus One phones.... Their probably the best reasonably priced half decent ones you can get I think, which, I think will make them popular.

Also, is there a chance the two media volume control keys at the edge of devices can be mapped, or if they are, what do they fall under?

Does loading bitmaps on Android work - mine seems to crash when attempting to do so...
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2011-Apr-28
I did a quick test and, yes I could load sprites.

They must be in the "Media" directory!! I copy the contents of that to the android project on compile.

These work:

I've only tested transparent PNG only (GLB website logo), smalfont.png and snd.WAV file formats.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Apr-28
The BMP file was certainly present in the Media directory

Code (glbasic) Select

PRINT "Ok1!",0,0; SHOWSCREEN; MOUSEWAIT
LOADSPRITE "Media/line.bmp",self.sprite%
PRINT "Ok2!",0,0; SHOWSCREEN; MOUSEWAIT


Ok1 was displayed, but when the screen was pressed, the program crashes to the main screen, with Ok2 not being displayed.

paste the logfile? In android/bin there's a file "_logview.bat"

If not, try:

Once it's charged up, I'll try and find it.  The tablet goes through power like anything...

Another with - with the version number, I'm currently using 001.001, however, when packing for webOS, the routine is using a slightly different version string of :

creating package com.unmap.vectoreditor_000.001.0_all.ipk in C:\Users\Nicholas\Documents\GLBasic\Utilities\VectorEditor

The tablet crash seems to have sorted itself out now... :blink:

Ok, one thing which is driving me crazy are the different device resolutions for Android:

So my game has a resolution of 480x320 but I get a black border on my Desire HD (which has 800x480):

(http://www.machgames.de/dl/wh/screenshots/wh_104e_desirehd.jpg)

Is there a way to center that image? I don't want to stretch it to full size just want to keep the aspect ratio and stretch it.

Here's a screeny from a Wildfire:

(http://www.machgames.de/dl/wh/screenshots/wh_104e_wildfire.jpg)

Same problem but now the menu on the right site is missing because it has only 320x240...

Will you only be releasing for Android devices - I don't have one of those :(

Thanks! :) It will be definitely available for iPhone and Android, thats why we use that 480x320 resolution. But this gives me headaches regarding the crude aspect ratio of Android devices. I get it stretched to fullscreen but not centered...

Thanks yes. That's why it already scales up correctly. But it would be great to have it scaled up/down AND centered. Just a minor issue at the moment though. Is there any lower level stuff I could initialize during the startup, something like a general transformation matrix?

There isn't a way of centring the screen automatically - of course, if you knew the screen resolution, you could do it yourself.

I'm testing GETDESKTOPSIZE at the moment to see if it returns the devices resolution at the current orientation.

It's because the device doesn't support some GL extensions (glLine - or more likely GL_LINE) being one of them.

GETDESKTOPSIZE seems to work (although I dont know yet whether the values change depending on orientation) - you would then be able to centre using that as long as you know how big your play area is.

Maybe I'm too stupid but do you have some lines of code how to translate a screen in x and y direction? Is there a way to change the transformation matrices in GLBasic?
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Ian Price on 2011-May-02
Something like this -

Code (glbasic) Select

FUNCTION centre:

LOCAL actual_width, actual_height
LOCAL screen_width, screen_height

screen_width=100
screen_height=200

GETSCREENSIZE actual_width, actual_height

LOCAL xpos, ypos

xpos=(actual_width-screen_width)/2
ypos=(actual_height-screen_height)/2

WHILE TRUE

DRAWRECT xpos,ypos,screen_width, screen_height,RGB(255,0,0)

SHOWSCREEN

WEND

ENDFUNCTION


Obviously this is a simple function to draw a square at the centre of any sized screen (that's bigger than the square). But the same principal would apply to a drawn screen.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-May-02
Although it might be best to use GETDESKTOPSIZE  :)
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Slydog on 2011-May-02
I haven't read all 8 pages of this thread, so I may be missing the point here.
If you want a game ALWAYS centered and don't want to draw the game in the top-left corner and then move it later, why not program all your routines to have a center of (0,0) for the middle of the screen, then adjust the actual offset later.

Something like:
Code (glbasic) Select
TYPE TVector
  x
  y
ENDTYPE

GLOBAL _center AS TVector  // 'Center' of screen
GLOBAL _screen AS TVector // Screen dimensions

// Do once at program start, or screen resize or orientation change
GETDESKTOPSIZE _screen.x, _screen.y
_center.x = _screen.x / 2.0
_center.y = _screen.y / 2.0

...

LOCAL object_pos AS TVector

// centered sprite
object_pos.x = 0
object_pos.y = 0
DrawSpriteCentered(1, object_pos)

// sprite 100 pixels left of center, 50 pixels below center
object_pos.x = -100
object_pos.y = 50
DrawSpriteCentered(1, object_pos)

...

FUNCTION DrawSpriteCentered%: sprite_id%, pos AS TVector
  LOCAL vc AS TVector
  vc = ConvertCenter(pos)
  DRAWSPRITE sprite_id, vc.x, vc.y
ENDFUNCTION

FUNCTION ConvertCenter AS TVector: xy AS TVector
  LOCAL v AS TVector
  v.x = _center.x + xy.x
  v.y = _center.y + xy.y
  RETURN v
ENDFUNCTION


Then no matter what screen size you have, the game will always be centered, with blank borders depending on the difference.

If you create a viewport, all the draw will be shifted. The 0,0 coord is the 0,0 of the viewport not the screen. I don't know it was intended that way by Gernot, but this is how it works.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2011-May-03
Yes, that's how Viewport is designed to be.
Also, you could render into an offscreen (CREATESCREEN) and paste that centered. With the offscreen surface you might even get better compatibility of the GRAB... commands.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK

Thanks for your help guys, will dig deeper into this! :)

Does this has an effect on LOADBMP as well?
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK

Yes. When you render offscreen, you should use loadsprite/drawsprite instead of loadbmp.

Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK

The emulator has just the very very basic features emulated I think.

If you want coloured lines, use a 1 pixel polyvector with a coloured texture. That's also a lot faster.

As far as I know, anything the emulator spits out shouldnt be taken as gospel, also, GLBasic isnt the only software I've used for Android that goes a little wobbly in the emulator, Libgdx suffers from quiffiness too, but, as far as I can see, both work fine (Within reason for GLBasic as its in beta) on an actual device.

OK, new beta SDK is online.
http://wwww.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe (http://wwww.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe)

Fixes:
Code (glbasic) Select

// New command:
//    SOCK_GETREMOTEIP, SOCK_GETREMOTEPORT
//    SOCK_SETBLOCKING
//    X_GETMATRIX
//
// Editor:
//    New function File/Project/Clean up
//    that cleans out build files.
//    User keywords must be 2 characters long at least now.
//    Icons must be transparent PNG for transparency now.
//    Icons are scaled using bicubic filter -> excellent quality.
//    gbas/gbap files have different icons now.
//    Mac-Icons are generates from the icon.png file.
//
//    Project options -> Version number is available.
//    You can query it with PLATFORMINFO$("VERSION").
//
//    All platforms except iPhone built into the .app directory.
//
// Core:
//    INKEY$ works much better and buffers multiple
//    key presses druing one showscreen cycle (up to 16).
//    INKEY$/INPUT$ returned \r instead of \n. Bug is fixed.
//
//    URLENCODE$/URLDECODE$ caused wrong output with
//    codes>127. It will be converted ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8 first
//    so php can properly interact with GLBasic now.
//
//    Shoebox leaked memory.
//
//    CONSTANT yielded compiler errors (assign to const object).
//
//    GRABSPRITE id,0,0,0,0 frees the memory. Was a bad leak.
//
// Compiler:
//    Nested ?IFDEF might have caused trouble.
//    ?DEFINE always was triggered.
//    2-pass-compiler implemented. GLOBAL declarations
//    from other files are known in stage 2 now.
//    This allows:
//    INC foo.bar; TYPE Tfoo; bar; ENDTYPE; GLOBAL foo AS Tfoo
//
// iPhone:
//    SLEEP is working properly now.
//
// Pandora:
//    GLBasic builds a full featured .pnd package for you.
//    The screen size is not fixed anymore, allowing it to run
//    on OMAP-3 devices as well.
//
// WebOS:
//    appinfo.json is filled with version number and proper strings.
//
// Android:
//    possible crash at startup fixed.
//    Fix with spaces in path (GLBasic installation or project path)

I'd really like to thank Gernot and anyone else who's put this together because most things are working brilliantly on yet another platform.  :good:

Doing testing on Android, I've noticed that multitouch doesn't seem to be supported (GETMOUSECOUNT returns 1 on my device).  I'm not sure if this is a cause for alarm, but also the values returned by GETJOYX, Y, and Z seem to be rounded off to the nearest multiple of "0.1019318253"...  Simple APK for displaying mouse, joy values: http://www.multiupload.com/79I8CYGRWZ (http://www.multiupload.com/79I8CYGRWZ)
Will keypresses be implemented on Android?  Many users have hardware keyboards, and there are significant buttons on every device (back button, menu button).
Eventually, it would be good to have control over what the back button does, rather than just quitting the app whenever it's bumped.  Also, apps at the moment seem to crash when the device is put into standby mode, and crash when multitasking (i.e. whenever the home button is used).

I don't think multimouse is a good idea. There's a hug majority of deviecs with just one touch.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: BigAnd on 2011-May-09
@kitty
Cant you just set the mouse count to 1 for those devices?

It totally breaks my game as I have left, right and jump as on screen buttons. I am more than happy to assign them to keys on other devices but my HTC Desire doesn't have any, so my game would be useless on that device if I cant implement multi touch.

Or have I not understood what you mean?

Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Moebius on 2011-May-09
It would be a shame not to be able to use multitouch...  There are many devices that do support it, and many more will in the future.
I haven't seen anything about getting the maximum number of pointers possible, but to handling multiple pointers in events doesn't seem to be too difficult, at least on the android side of things: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/06/making-sense-of-multitouch.html (http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/06/making-sense-of-multitouch.html)
I'm not sure about how multiple mice are handled internally by GLB, but surely multitouch is possible?   :doubt:
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2011-May-09
Yes, it's possible. I'll implement it. But I warn you to use it, because many devices are not able to use it and your game will not run there.

Post by: erico on 2011-May-09
on the multi-touch issue...

Wouldn´t you think it´s possible to, let´s say, having a check on different screen pressed areas while alternating this between code loops? Would this achieve a ´multi touch´ sort of thing?

just some crazy idea :x

What other input do you have on your phone other than the touch screen?

Just thinking of what else to implement other than touch screen, such as the optical scroll and would we get access to such things through glbasic?
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK

"optical scroll" is just a different kind of D-Pad. Some of the HTC Desire phones have these:

JPegs on Windows seem fine - now to test Linux, webOS and Android :)

Linux seems okay!
webOS crashes straight out (after a black screen)
Windows CE emulator displays my first image and seems to hang
Android displays two imagew then crashes

There seems to be an extra set of quote marks in the glb_install_and_pack batch file - it seems the palm-package program didn't like that...
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2011-May-11
oh. Can you fix it?

It must work with spaces in the path, mind.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: 404 Not Found on 2011-May-11
Thanks for getting the keyboard working! However, there are still some minor flaws:
- Space isn't detected yet
- Pressing X exits the app
- For landscape apps the D-Pad directions are rotated by 90° by default because portrait orientation is hard-coded into the manifest. You have to change it manually, but it would be nice if it's set automatically depending on project settings.
- Sliding the keyboard out exits the app. To prevent this, you need to add android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" to the <activity> tag in the manifest file. This should also be included in the template project.

Concerning the crash/segfault on closing - here is the debug log from a device (Motorola Milestone, Android 2.2.1/Cyanogen 6.1):
Code (glbasic) Select
I/SDL     ( 4497): [STUB] GL_UnloadLibrary
D/dalvikvm( 4497): threadid=9: thread exiting, not yet detached (count=0)
D/dalvikvm( 4497): threadid=9: thread exiting, not yet detached (count=1)
E/dalvikvm( 4497): threadid=9: native thread exited without detaching

I/DEBUG   ( 4448): pid: 4497, tid: 4505  >>> com.yourcompany.test <<<
I/DEBUG   ( 4448): signal 11 (SIGSEGV), fault addr deadd00d


For further explanation I'll just quote quote from here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4202670/objdump-of-a-so-file-need-help-to-understand-the-messages):
QuoteFWIW, fault address "deadd00d" indicates a deliberate VM abort. Before aborting the VM writes an explanation to the log file; you should see it up above what you pasted here.
So there's a thread exiting without being detached from the VM, therefore the VM exits too. This seems to happen right after GL_UnloadLibrary is called, so that's the place where to look for it.

Another thing is that I found many exit()s in the code. You really should avoid using that since Android is designed to care of exiting applications itself. You should just close your activity instead (Activity.finish() from Java; read this (http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/browse_thread/thread/4fa32379243333f8) if you want to call it from a different thread).

Is it possible to support the hardkeys on the phone like search, back and menu?

As that would solve the porblem of no multitouch on some phones for me.
Here's a link I found on the subject:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/12/back-and-other-hard-keys-three-stories.html
Code (glbasic) Select
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)  {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getRepeatCount() == 0) {
        // do something on back.
        return true;
    }

    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

Multitouch on Android also fuzzy too, I found there is axisflips issues on many devices as well. So even its support it, you might been aware of that issue, something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzhUzq6bTPg&feature=player_embedded

Also its is possible to checkout the screen destiny too (using platform info)?

Also is Android 2.2.x still required (even I would want to see a alternative 2.1.x too, since around 24% still use it and still release phones with that version). I'm not interesed on 1.X

PS. I have not read all pages, where is the minimum requirements really now (I gonna to read most of them now)?
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: spacefractal on 2011-May-14
Also its would been sweet to set a 0x0 as resolution in the option, who means the startup window would use the user desktop resolution, or eventuelly just start as a hidden window.

This should work wonderful on Android (as well all other systems), so you seamless can use that resolution, detected by GETDESKTOPSIZE, without showing a awfull white window first.

My (still early) project is a landscape only game, but dedicated to support rotation, even GETDESKTOPSIZE might return a portrait mode (then its would just rotate 90 degree).

Here CreateScreen is a awesome to use for auto rotation.

Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-May-14
One thing I did forget to mention is that when changing Platforms in the Project Options window, the default resolution doesn't change when the platform is changed, so you can end up with 640x480 on the Palm :)

Howover I would like to disable it and just use SETSCREEN set from GETDESKTOPSIZE, also in this case I have programmed my game with all scaling, resize and rotating by myself.

PS. I have tried to use console program, but its does crash out or do nothing.

PPS. Sorry if its offtype, so fell free to move it.

I noticed that Pandora compiling is weird now.
It still talks about running the PandoraMake script on a pandora but then does compile it anyway.
And it compiles it as "pandora-exe.pnd" instead of "projectName.pandora-exe.pnd"
It does still work though so nothing major is broken probably a piece of the older compiling script got left in.

I'm not sure how that would be the case,
as my older program compiled fine, and in both instances I've not created an icon yet,
they both use the standard GLBasic icon.
I even created a new project and copy pasted the source code over and got the same error.

I'll take that as a complement  :enc:

Just got to trying the new hotfix, and pausing almost works.  There seems to be a some sort of problem with input.  I'm testing on a Samsung Galaxy S (running an unofficial Android version - 2.3.2).

When I 'pause' the app, by standby-ing the phone switching apps or pressing the 'home' button, the app stays open.  Looking at the debug log using adb, it appears that GLB_ON_PAUSE is called, but GLB_ON_RESUME isnt called.  The same is true using the emulator.

After returning to it, no input is recognised by the GLB app, although it continues to execute just fine.  This also stops my phone from giving vibration feedback when the back and menu buttons are pressed (if that helps somehow), delaying the feedback until I leave the app.

I've just compiled my project successfully and have the apk file(s) however I have the command line instructions to install the apk to the emulator

Code (glbasic) Select

Add SDK_ROOT to your system variables pointing to /tools folder under the sdk
Run the emulator
Copy the apk file to /tools folder
Change directory to /tools and run from commandline adb install application_name.apk


But I wondered how I do this in Eclipse (1) because it'd be nice to know and (2) because in GLB10 the androidicon is created outside the android folder and as an apk file is already packaged I presumed it needs to be recompiled to include the icon and I'm guessing Eclipse is easier than command line.

Or am I off the mark?

I don't know about Android, but for WebOS (Palm Pre) the icon is actually included in the packaged file (GLB also  creates a WebOS icon externally) - perhaps Android is the same and doesn't actually use the external icon?

You are indeed right Ian and I now have the apk running on the emulator with the intended icon, which as you say is prebuilt into the package. Just trying to work out now how to import the project into Eclipse so I can export an unsigned apk file and then sign it with my own key. I'd unsign it manually and resign it with my own key in DOS if I knew the commands to unsign =)

It's all good stuff tho, uber pleased.

OK, new setup is online.

Clean your project directory manually of everything created. Then build for what platorm you need. There will be a directory "distribute" for non-win,linux platforms that will contain what you need per platform. The "myproject.app/Media" will be copied to the right place as well.

It's the V10 release candidate (though it installs as beta, still). Please feel free to check it out and give some feedback. I think it's pretty useable for all supported platforms now.

I presume its trying to force installation onto the device, and when it can't it comes up with the error (the apk files are created).

In addition, adb.exe doesn't quit, preventing Clean Project from working (as the files are locked).

Yes. It's trying to install. You get one [BUOLD SUCCEEDED] and one [BUILD FAILED] for the install.
Can anyone tell me how to kill adb (except the hard way?)
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK

Will calling "adb.exe kill-server" be sufficient ?

Like the distribute folder, by the way!

Had to change my apk packaging routine for webOS to :

Code (glbasic) Select
CALL "%GLB_MAIN_PATH%\compiler\platform\webos\tool\bin\glb_pack_and_install.bat" "%GLB_PROJ_PATH%\distribute\WebOS\%GLB_PROJ_NAME%"

Since I have my games all updated for iPhone, iPad and Palm I'm now ready to
Start moving them to Android platform.

I started with "Just Pong", so far it looks like everything is working o.k., but there are a
couple of problems. First I'm testing on a Galaxy Tab, screen has a resolution of 1024x600
and the game has a resolution of 480x320 so on the Tab the game is not centered. So my
Question is, is there any way to center the game on different screen resolutions or scale to
fit?
The other problem is that the audio has a delay, but I think that's Androids problem.

not android related but v10 related

running a full screen program on pc using 2 monitors at 1024*1536 resolution and after start up im running a small dos program. Everything sets up, runs the dos program, returns back to the GLBasic program but the computer refuses to set the focus to the program and no mouse or keyboard inputs are accepted. Compile the program with no changes on 9.040 and it works and gives the focus back to the GL program after you click anywhere on the screen

Some bugs I found in the latest Android build:
- The app still segfaults on exit (i.e. pressing back key)
- Backgrounding the app is buggy: If the app gets killed by the system, everything is fine; if it's still running, the screen shows but it doesn't respond after re-opening
- Pressing "x" on the hardware keyboard exits the app
- Portrait orientation is somehow hardwired, if you want to make a landscape app, you have to (1) select landscape mode in the manifest file to get the right d-pad directions and (2) select a portrait (!) screen resolution in GLB

Does GLB_ON_QUIT already work on Android?

In addition, I think BMP files crash the running program.

Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2011-Jun-07
I need help with Andoid, since my device is ..ahem.
Can you set orientation to 0 and hold the device like a phone and then print the JX, Jy, JZ values?

Then, turn the device to lay on it's left side -> again JX, JY, JZ values?
Now, hold it as a phone and slowly tilt it backwards. What values do you get now?


On a Pre/iOS you (oughta) get:
0,-1, 0
-1, 0, 0
0, 0, -1

Pre confirmed. iOS surely is, too.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Jun-07
I'll see what its like on the Android...

However, my Pre values dont quite match up with on its left side - I get 0, -1, -0.2 (it does fluctuate wildly even what flat!)

Did you update to 10.012?
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK

My Android tablet values are thus (its approximate as it does vary by around +/0.1) :

Starting Orientation 0 :   

-0.2
0
0.1

Turning Left:

0
1
0

Turning Right :

0.2
0
1

Backwards

0
0
1

Forwards :

0
0
-1

I'll have to try the phone when its been charged...
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2011-Jun-07
The tablet values (as on mine) seem pretty broken. Right+Backwards look almost the same. Starting orientation has a vector of (0.2^2+0.1^2)^.5 = 0.224. That's 1/4 of the earth's gravity (moon?)

Either there's a really bad bug in my code, or these tablets are "not so good" when it comes to orientation and gravity sensors.
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Jun-07
Got a feeling the results will be the same with the phone...

Will soon know :)
Title: Re: Android - Beta SDK
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Jun-07
Its completely different for the phone :

Should be:
Code (glbasic) Select

0,-1, 0  upright
-1, 0, 0  to the left
0, 0, -1  to the back


Is:
Code (glbasic) Select

0,1,0  upright
1,0,0  to the left
-1,0,0 to the right
0,0,1  back
0,0,-1 forward



Changing orientation produces the same values (which is good :) ).  And there is no jittering either...

Again, Chinese tablets prove to be pretty worthless...

[edit] sorry for realigning.

Just to confirm that the live update crashes on Win 7 Home Prem. I downloaded the install from post one again, however this is still version 10.001. When I do a web update it tells me version 10.013 is available so I say update.

Contrast that with 4373 downloads for webOS, with most people disliking the graphics (or somehow finding it hard to navigate  :blink: ).  However, with the help of Erico (who is kind enough to be re-doing the graphics), I'm hoping the next version will fair better...

Post by: Moebius on 2011-Jul-11
I've noticed that GLB copies all the media files (a necessary step).  After the first run everything loads quickly, but the user is left looking at a blank screen with the app name for a very long time on the first run, and it would be great if instead of a blank screen there was a splash screen...

Fiddling around with SDLActivity.java, setContentView() can be used for views defined in the layout xml files (making it easy to create a splash screen using graphics in the "drawable" folder).  However, the view that's been set doesn't become visible until after everything is initialised - at least until after onCreate(), onStart(), and onResume(), ruling out putting the copyAssets() call in one of them...

Is displaying a splash screen possible?  The two ways it could be done seem to be: getting a view to be displayed during initialisation - which from I can tell isn't possible, or calling copyAssets() just before GLB code, after initialisation.
If that can be called, setContentView(mSurface) could be put in copyAssets() (or a better named function) so that the splash screen is displayed right up until everything is copied and GLBasic code is reached...

The second option doesn't seem possible to me either as the compiler complains if copyAssets (and the other copy/delete functions) are declared as static...

Anyway is it possible?  I can't get any further with my understanding and with the code I have access to.  :giveup:  Any ideas?
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2011-Jul-11
OK, I think a splash screen should be possible. I will think about a way to display it and what about different screen sizes?

Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: Moebius on 2011-Jul-11
If it's possible to use an ImageView, I think that takes care of the scaling automatically.  If method 2 (delaying the copyAssets() call) works, an xml and another setContentView() should do the job.

384 is to do with spaces - do you have any in the project name or path?  Are you using the latest hotfix?

I downloaded and installed the latest fix,
and as you can see by the output text, there are no spaces in the project name
Code (glbasic) Select
Android=C:\Dropbox\GLBasic\8BitBob\android
I wonder if it's because it starts with a number?

Just copied the code into a new project
EightBitBob and it works fine, so it looks like starting your project name with a number will cause a 384 error.


Nice find!  It was failing for me with a number in the name anywhere with that error.

I tried  the number at the start, middle and end.  It seems to be the path containing a number not just the project name.

BTW does GLB compile the app twice?
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Jul-16
I dont think so - one is a pre-compile, whilst the second part is the actual compilation...
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: Moebius on 2011-Jul-16
That seems right.  Could have sworn I used to see two "BUILDSCRIPT"s in the output...
Anyway it seems Android apps (even Hello World) won't run with 10.051.  It compiles (with the slight addition to SDLActivity.java), installs, and force closes when the app is opening.

This does indeed fix the compiling issue, however the app crashes prior to even executing one line of user code. :(
Also, at least with me, there is no longer an icon for the App once installed...either that or it's a completely transparent Icon  ::)

I had the same problem.  Try:

1)  pushing your project to: C:\temp\temp instead of C:\adveng\distribute\Android.
2)  make sure you didnt install GLBASIC beta with spaces or brackets in the filename. 
3)  make sure everything is installed on 32bit system - I put mine on a bootcamp Win32 XP SP3 OS.

Now mine compiles and runs.  But it does not install on my 2.3 and earlier Android devices (basically any devices that are unable to run Flash).  2.3 with flash and higher might work.  It just says its an invalid package on those other Android OS's.  Higher versions seem ok though.  I won't know until my testing group gets back to me on the build.

My compiled app is here:

http://filearchivehaven.com/downloads/android/StarsTest.apk

Its a rewrapped version of the Starfield demonstration that comes with GLBASIC.  Basically, it adds colours to the program and allows you to change the direction of the stars by your mouse clicks.

I'm planning on creating the same FPS calculator in GLBASIC, Java (Eclipse), Simple Android Basic, and that easy Android Application maker for comparison with different graphic modes.

Still on my to-do list.

How can i do this ?

The path is C:\Program Files\GLBasic_beta and i'm using XP sp3

That StarsTest app runs fine on my 2.2 ZTE Blade (rooted)

Didn't notice that button - very helpful.  I have been deleting the 'Android' build folder anyway.
Compiles and runs with 10.042, and with the fix compiles but crashes when starting using 10.051...  Already posted the relevant log.  An unsatisfied link involving "g_keyboard" is mentioned.

Should point out this is on 2.3.2, using a Galaxy S - which has no physical keyboard.

I hadn't tried to compile for android before 10.051 so didn't know if it worked on  my system
I've removed 10.051 and reinstalled 10.001 and can compile to my Android phone now.
Is there any way to update to 10.042, i'm only offered 10.051 in the ide update.

You can set how often you want GLBasic to check for an update at the start. It will be no more than once a day.
You can kick the update with the menu "Web/Internet Update" anytime, though.
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate

Hi gernot

That's up and running fine now, just 2 things there's no default icon for the app
The other problem is there are 4 new Drives on my computer each drive contains
the contents of the glbasicbeta directory

Update: restarting the computer got rid of them and it doesn't seem to be happening now

For anyone getting the errors
QuoteC:\Program Files\GLBasic_beta\Compiler\platform\android\android-sdk-windows\tools\ant\main_rules.xml:639: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Program Files\GLBasic_beta\Compiler\platform\android\android-sdk-windows\tools\ant\main_rules.xml:271: exec returned: 1
It seems like connectivity issues, you can check the current status of your Android device by typing
adb devices from command prompt, you may have to cd to the following directory before you run the command
C:\Program Files\GLBasic_beta\Compiler\platform\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\

It should return

List of Devices Attached
<serial no>   device

if it says device you should be fine anything else you may need to restart your device
if nothing appears it's probably a usb issue

OK, Im stumped. No matter what I do I just cant get the blinking thing to run in 800x480 res ;( The screen res seems to be popping up as 570x 320. Ive tried setting other screen resolutions and they all pop up as 570x320. It works fin on PC. Is there anything Im doing wrong (prolly)
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: MrTAToad on 2011-Aug-03
Dont think so - I have no problem with setting to the native resolution for my phone.  I believe one of the XML files could be modified to force native mode - unfortunately I can't remember which one.
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: Quentin on 2011-Aug-03
I had the same problem with my HTC.
Only res 533 x 320 now matter which project settings I used. Even SETSCREEN had no effect.

Then I changed file AndroidManifest.xml in the project directory
Code (glbasic) Select

<supports-screens android:resizeable="true"
  android:smallScreens="true"
  android:normalScreens="true"
  android:largeScreens="true"
  android:anyDensity="true" />

I've change "resizeable" and "anyDensity" to true. After this it works with high resolution 800 x 480, but now I'm not able to set smaller resolutions.

perhaps we have to look closer to:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: Minion on 2011-Aug-03
YaY ;) That works (for now) ;) Lets hope this is a minor tweak that Gernot can do so it sorts it out. At the moment Im happy coding in 800x480 (My pandy stuff will port straight over now ) until its sorted out.
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: spacefractal on 2011-Aug-07
yes anyDensity="true" should have been true, since this works to get the real device of most device (and yes we might require two build, one for major resolutions and one minor as a fix).

resizeable is not used anymore, and thus i guess false is still should been set.

That which is real missing is there is not possible to detect Density in GlBasic. So that mean its not possible to detect the physical size of the screen, which can been a mobile or tablet.

That should been in the platforminfo$["Density"] and could been great for even iPad too.

That mean scaling buttons could been better and more suitable for a finger size.

I can not open a 480x320 screen on my device (800x480), it open the screen like a top-left window, and the things even are drawn outside of my screen (window).

I have tested all the manifiest.xml options with no luck.

I would like it centered in the screen and/or scaled (as iPad does with old games). A scale up option would be great.
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: Moebius on 2011-Aug-27
I was thinking of just rendering to a 480x320 sprite, then scaling as necessary, to avoid this without adapting the code to allow many resolutions.
This wouldn't be too difficult to implement...
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: ampos on 2011-Aug-27
It is not a solution.

GLB seems to be ignoring the screen size in someway.
Title: Re: Android - V10 release candidate
Post by: Moebius on 2011-Aug-27
On my device (also 480x800 Galaxy), the app is scaled up from 480x320 to 720x480.  This means of course that there is an 80 pixel border on the right, but AFAIK the scaling works perfectly (unless you want the game to be borderless, but distorted).
