Hi Gernot,
I am having issues getting my apk running on my android.
I am using stretchsprite and scaling to screen size.
I noticed my debug cert is not valid but that still allows me to compiler and run my "chess clock app" fine.
The app that wont run on android is a game and gives the message "Application Failure to Load" in both my nexus 7 and bluestacks.
I don't want to publish my full source as this is a commerical program but would appreciate a few hints in the right direction...I am not using polyvector or anything too fancy...
Any ideas on what would cause an App to "Fail to load"??
also noticed this not sure if relevant or not...

Okay so i updated my %AndroidSDK% using the Set bat file but now...
was told to download "ant" from some webpage...so i did...
Now my error is

Are you using the Android Extras ?
I downloaded them but havent a clue what to do with them, or if they are just for inapp purchases??!!
Are they required for Android compiling?
If i compile with my GLB v 10 or 11 will that work?
I need to get my Android compiling working again ....
:'(
To get your android compiling again reinstall GLB12 dude. I made the mistake of trying to tweak the batch files myself and encountered the same problems as yourself. Ian said there was a guide on the forums to change the SDK and API however this was part of the instructions for Android Extras. At the moment I'm a little apprehensive of using AE until all is finalised with GLB.
For example will the Android SDK come bundled, if not then there will likely be instructions from Gernot regarding the native integration of the SDK and API. Using AE now will likely mean there are issues when there's a new GLB12 update, and as everything is so close (guessing) to release then I'm personally gonna hold off I think for a little while.

Android Extras definitely works with V11.XXX (I'm not using V12 at the moment.
Normal Android commands weren;t working properly on the OUYA with GLBasic's stock Android compilation (eg OUYA controllers weren't working), so Android Extras fixed that, as well as the screen orientation and sound issues and also allows InAppPayments (which I'm working on now, with a LOT of help from SpaceFractal).
AndroidExtras is working brilliantly on the OUYA (I don't have any other actual Android devices to test on, but I suspect it to be the same on those - it's certainly working with BlueStacks (until I press a cursor key then it exits)).
I'd certainly recommend getting your head around Android Extras and taking the time to get it to work. I'm a total doofus with Android and I've managed to get AquaVenture onto the OUYA without any major problems.
SpaceFractal and FiveSprites have done a lot of work on AndroidExtras and IAP for Android - I'm pretty sure they'll ensure that it works with GLB V12 (if it doesn't already).
the bluestacks issue have been fixed. im have forget to update the gamecontroller java, which im does that very soon. im thinks im fixed that for a week ago. The isssue was a array out of bounce issue (playerid was -1 and tried to uses that on a array). its due some ouya code wich wont implement playerid for other systems.
GL12 Works nice with androidextras and the latest one was with tested v12 in mind.
Today im only uses v12 for both Ios and Android. All major issues with both systems is fixed.
EDIT:
Updated SDLActivity.java (dated 27-11-2013) and GameControllers.java (dated 13-11-2013) to both the sdk upgrade files as well androidextras alone. Those should fixes it.

However.... http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=9166.0 (http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=9166.0) states that it only works with v11 and that rather than have everything all over the forum its being kept in one place now, so if this is not the version, where is it?
Also is there a link as Ian stated for upgrading the SDK too?

There is a DROPBOX link with the latest updates in it - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3236515/GreedyMouse/AndroidExtras.zip
:)
Thanks Ian.
Right I've copied over the files into my version 11 GLB folder all went well however the AndroidSample.gbap doesn't even compile, not what I call a useful start, any ideas there Ian? :-/
Ummm... No idea. Are you trying this on an OUYA? I think that demo was specifically for that (although I'm not too sure, as I don't have any other Android devices to test it on). Have you ensured that you've got all the appropriate icons in the proper folders - that can cause non-compilation issues. Do you get any error messages?
It definitely worked when I tried it (I know that's a really awful statement), but without any messages I can only hazard a guess or two.
I downloaded the big file with the Android Extras and SDK just downloading the 1.5.2 on its own now to see if the project works on its own as a seperate download. Its so confusing the way the downloads are not organised, arrrgh lol
Get this simply trying to make a Win32 build to start with.

This is using the separately downloaded AndroidExtras Sample and the Include SDK AndroidExtras Sample also. Same issue with both. All I did was try it after extracting????? Any Ideas?
Yes - the sample (and no AndroidExtras specific code) will not compile for Windows. That's a standard error. It is a tad annoying, as I can't add things, test on Windows and then compile for Android. I have to compile for Windows shunt it over to the OUYA (or BlueStacks if it's open).
Have you tried compiling for Android?
Yes check the output in the previous post as well ;)

Ahh, but you were editing while I was typing my response. That wasn't there when I started answering. ;)
You diddent say which compile error it is. Property it's a manifest issue, so try delete the android folder from the distribution any try again.
Edit:
Make sure to compile to android, not windows. That error happens due ANDRIOD variable have been defined. windows dosent like that.
And for android issue, it's properly due a old androidmanifest.xml issue. Try delete the whole android folder from distribution folder and try again.

Deleted the Android folder pressed the Trash Icon and now I have this...

This is what I get when Compiling :-/
However...... My old AndroidExtras project does compile (with the new AE being used) ???????????
Do you uses v11 or v12? I'm have only tested for v12.
Also it's seen you have not updated the glbasic correctly. Androidicons.exe is missing, which fixed tablet icons issue.
Howover not home yet to checks anything....
Ok got it to compile, I deleted the androidicon.png from the folder and all was good, this was mentioned to me before now I think about it, but why include it in the zip knowing it will cause problems, that just doesn't make sense. Or am I missing something?

I'm using GLB11 and like I say I managed to get it to compile, need to test now, but in reply to your question the Androidicons.exe along with the blitzmax files are in the bin folder already.
Please do more patient, when there is bugs. there can stil been some few issues left (like ian found in the inapp). Im will fix those in the next releases.
in glb_build.bat, the line:
AndroidIcons.exe" "|%GLB_PROJ_PATH%|"
should changes to:
"%HERE%\AndroidIcons.exe" "|%GLB_PROJ_PATH%|"
Then AndroidIcons.exe should start correctly and create tablet icons from ther icon.png or icon128.png (so the app is can been "designed for tables"). This is all the exe does and included the source code for it (im perfer blitzmax to write small tools like this).
About androidicon.png:
im thinks its a issue in glbasic v10, which glbasic create those icons? Those was also auto created as im remember. Howover in v12 its does compile fine, even that icon might exists,. That property why im diddent notice that bug.
PS. Im guess this thread accicently have been hijacked and just been clean up to split up the AndroidExtras issues?
Thanks spacefractal!!!

When you copy the files over from the zip into you GLB Program Files directory it will overwrite the glb_build.bat, check that you have copied everything over correctly buddy.
you should not delete the Whole folder, but more replace the files from the 3 folders inside the compiler/Android. If you did deleted Android folder first, then you might need to reinstall glbasic v12. glbasic uses glb_build to build the apk files as well icons.
Did nt delete anything just copied over and selected overwrite all...
so is my build bat file incorrect or incomplete?
Also I did a debug on my program and first thing it says is Error 3 - is that something I can ignore or rule out?
its mightbeen inkomplete. im look on tjhat tomorrow.
