In response to our App Game Kit survey we've produced a detailed tutorial video showing you how to get your App Game Kit Tier 1 app from AppGameKit to Android 2.3 or higher.

For easier viewing, each module is organised into menus with full annotation. Simply click on the subject you want and the video will take you there. Please note this feature only works in Windows, Linux and Mac PC's.

Module 0 is an introductory module, it's not necessary to watch it but if you are a novice then it has useful information.

This is great.
At 17+ minutes in I realized how long this thing is, so I'm waiting to watch the rest when I am ready to build my apk file.
Right now, I am still testing by broadcasting straight to the device via wifi and the player from the store.
Thanks a lot for this.

Spelling error - "where" sted "were".

You mention the user must have a windows phone or tablet, but obviously you should have said Android.

I get to the Eclipse download page, and Classic 3.7.2 is not available, only Classic 4.2 is available. I'll keep going with 4.2, perhaps it will work.

More as I continue.

EDIT 1: Okay, I sneakily found the 3.7.2 download, it's called Indigo - Eclipse

EDIT 2: I didn't see any links on the YouTube page, so I'll just include them as I go along. Some are very long and hard to remember.

Java JDK

Android SDK

and here's the location for the ADT Plugin
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

Android NDK

Cygwin

HOT DANG! I just got the AppGameKit Player built and loaded on my Kindle Fire! Less than two hours! Now to put my current game project on it as well!

Thank you TGC and Daniel, excellent video!

FINAL EDIT: Ack. I loaded my game onto my Kindle Fire and it takes TWO MINUTES AND FORTY-THREE SECONDS to go from splash screen to the game menu. Running the game through the AppGameKit player is much quicker, about 12 seconds to load. Gotta be something I'm doing wrong, but I have no idea where to start troubleshooting. So maybe I'll just focus on iStore for now.

I just verified something I was worried about in the video.

It says to put the bytecode file and all the media directly the 'assets' directory.

As of v1074 (or v1073), the bytecode and all media files go into a directory named 'media' under the 'assets' directory.

Cheers,

I've only just uploaded it so you've not missed anything.

The original MP4 file was just over 3Gb in size, and it didn't maintain the menu structure so I re-edited the project as bluray instead which can be run through VLC 2.0.2

Download Bluray Zip Here

Instructions


Download VLC 2.0.2 or later by clicking HERE
Install VLC 2.0.2 or later
Extract the AGK2Android.zip file to the location of your choice
Open VLC media player
Click on the Media menu item
Click on Open Disc
Select BluRay
Remove tick from "No Disc Menus"
Click on Browse next to Disc Device
Select the folder of your extracted zip file
Click Select Folder
Press Play
enjoy!

In theory this Bluray can also be burned to a bluray disc and played using a bluray player, however this is untested because I don't own a bluray player! So if you do this its at your own risk, I recommend just using VLC Media Player in the mode I demonstrated.

Daniel, has it been updated to make reference to needing the 'media' directory under the 'assets' one? This is not a trivial issue.

If you follow the pdf or video you will get a problem
trying to upload to Google Play the apk and got this error.
Quote: "Google Play does not accept apks signed with the debug certificate. Create a new certificate that is valid for at least 50 years."

I think this may be the page that helps.
http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html
Ill have to come back to this and try and work it out, go over the steps in the video and see where you add 'the missing bits', so you can 'sell' an app in a 'store'.

Google approval process is nuts compared to Apple. My average time to have apps published and ready to be sold on store after committing the app on developer site, is 1 day. On the contrary maybe the average quality is worse, the earnings are lower, etc.
This is logic. Google should check your app on hundreds of terminal, Apple has got 10 or 20 different iStuff devices maximum, so they can afford to pay some "Apple Geniuses" to test your app and check if some bikini chick is hidden in your software, or there is a photo of you drinking a beer, so pushing people to alcoholism.

It took 2 hours to publish in the store. I hope it works, I dont think Google test it, and Eclipse simulator does not work with AppGameKit apps. If it doesnt work, reviewers will go mad.
Bit worried about the price, tier 1 on iOS is 69 pence, I did the same for this app, but I dont know the Android market, Ive heard Android users dont like paying for apps.
I also see Google Play does not have a new releases category, that's not so good, your app has to rely on search for its initial sales, or marketing if you have done any.

3.7.2 is available, but a bit hard to find. Try the link in my post at the beginning of this thread.

Quote: "can any agk members help me here with this problem. "

First have you used cygwin to make the files read and write able?
chmod 777 /cygdrive/c/Android/AGK/* -R
next command line is.
make -v
Now is the question have you changed the interpreter.cpp and un remed the line so it compiles the bytecode on your project?

now use .
cd /cygdrive/c/Android/AGK/IDE/apps/interpreter_android
and next.
/cygdrive/c/Android/android-ndk-r6b/ndk-build 2> log.txt

Now can you always simply cut and paste the player folders files and simply rename them for your project.

Next step when you have made an copy is!
Copy the entire media folder from the project you want to compile in to the assets folder of your new project.
Find the byc file and rename it bytecode.byc.

Now do you simply run eclipse and import project in to work space.
Android tools fix project properties.

Run as android.

Apk file done.


It sounds like you have made something wrong with the files in the agk folders inside the android folders?
So i recomend you to delete all the files inside AGK/IDE/apps
And copy fresh new ones from the agk install folder.
They are in the same named folders as daniel showed in the video.
Iam trying to write a wizard for this and encountered these errors alot

But now does the wizard compile them completely without the nead for cygwin

what i did was uninstall my agk folder, redownload v.1.065 msi and install it. (i was also having problems with agk) and gave it a test run. test:okay. so then i did the chmod 777, the make -v.. ever thing came out okay. i did the
Quote: "/cygdrive/c/Android/android-ndk-r6b/ndk-build 2> log.txt"
it compile or what ever is surrpose todo with no errors or stopping like my last post were it stop. i stop there.

i open ecplise and the other agkplayer was there with errors. i try to run the fix error but no good. i am figuring sine i unstall agk and reinstall a new agk, the file is missing. so i am gonna take a break for a day and finish the rest of the video.

i post with my final reults later.

what do mean by this
Quote: "Now is the question have you changed the interpreter.cpp and un remed the line so it compiles the bytecode on your project?
"

You must also rename the bytecode file in you agk games media folder you copied
It have the name of your game and ends with .byc.

This is case sensetive= bytecode.byc

The ifdef you are talking about only enables the interpreter files to read the byte code

If you still have problems so could you check my wizard?
It creates all the neaded files in an apps folder you simply copies over to the android working folders.

Its alot easier for a beginner to use.
Its all explanied in the showcase folder i have my thread.

Cygwin is used for doing the compile bits to create the stuff that Eclipse uses. Simple steps.

leo877, if you upgrade your AppGameKit (I would recommend 1076), you need to update a bunch of stuff in your android setup. And starting with 1071, the byte code and media files go in a directory named 'media' under the 'assets' directory in your android project.

These are commands I execute every time I update/change my AppGameKit version. I have my Windows AppGameKit installed in C:\TGC\AGK (I never use the Program Files directories if given the choice, I hate spaces in paths/file names). And I used simply 'android-ndk' for the Android NDK path (I used the most recent version). And I just created from IDE down in the android set, since I didn't need anything else in the AppGameKit tree.

A good command to use before anything else, to make sure directory/file permissions are set well:


To update the core AppGameKit stuff:


To update my own projects after updating core AppGameKit (this is important to make sure that your project uses any new stuff):


After doing the above to make sure the permissions are correct and that Eclipse will be able to run the app on the Android device:


Now, just so you have a working player, build the player:


Edit /cygdrive/c/Android/IDE/apps/interpreter/interpreter.cpp to uncomment the correct line so that your app will run instead of the player. In v1075 and v1076 it is at line #255:


Copy from your AppGameKit Tier1 directory, clean and compile your app:


Good luck!

Great video ... managed to follow it step by step and have my App working on my Android phone I just got. Only problem I had was when I first ran the app it had missing graphics, music, and sound.

I found out that all the AppGameKit filenames you load are case sensitive when you compile to android. Renamed everything in AppGameKit and compliled again and everything works now.

I ran into a bit of a problem. Please help me!

When restarting Eclipse I never got the dialog "Welcome to Android development".

First I had the same problem as Pamerco in the SDK Manager but then installed the tools. Then when installing the 2.3.1 SDK I had 4 packages to install, not 5 as in the video.

When installing the ADT Plugin I had an extra option for NDK Plugins. Not just Developer Tools as in the video. I have tried installing the NDK Plugins as well but that altered the look of the Welcome screen in Eclipse without giving me the dialog.


Edit:
When I continue with the installation process the icon before C/C++ Tools is grayed out. Apparently that has already been installed.

I followed the instructions very carefully. I used the links provided by Rich and double checked them with the movie. Pamerco posted about a problem with the SDK Manager earlier in the thread.

Due to limited time it would be very helpful if anyone can tell me how to launch that Android configuration dialog manually.

1. Open Eclipse
2. Click on the 'Window' menu item in the main menu bar
3. Click on 'Android SDK Manager'

Hopefully that is what you are looking for.

No, I'm not looking for the SDK Manager. In the video, after installing the ADT Plugin, Eclipse is restarted. This pops up a dialog window called "Wellcome to Android Development" "Configure SDK". That one never popped up for me.

Thanks Jim. I was considering just continuing with the process this evening and see what happens. Knowing that someone else have done the same thing is encouraging.
