I built an Android app following the instructions in YouTube "Building an Android App with App Game Kit" and it ran successfully in my Nexus 7 tablet. I made some minor changes to my game code (I only modified the SetDisplayAspect and SetOrientationAllowed) and repeated the same process to build it again, but this time, when I run the game in my Nexus 7, I only get a screen with the AppGameKit logo and a message saying "Stand by. To exit a running app simply press the top of the screen for 5 seconds."
Of course, I tested such modifications in my Windows PC and they worked just fine.

I will very much appreciate any comments.

Respectfully,
Jorge Maldonado

I am guessing that you are working in Tier 1 (based on the message you see).

1. What version of AppGameKit are you using?
2. Are you reusing the Android project that worked or did you create a new one?
3. When you changed your code and rebuilt it in the AppGameKit IDE, did you copy it to the <andproj>/assets/media directory and rename it to bytecode.byc?

Thank you for your response.
Yes, I am using Tier 1 Basic.

1. AppGameKit Version 1065. I used this same version the first time too.
2. I started from Section 1.8 of the video (Copying the interpreter). I supppose this means that I created a new project because I deleted everything in Eclipse and imported the new version of my game.
3. I copied to <andproj>/assets not to <andproj>/assets/media. This is what I did the first time and it worked (although your question makes me doubt). I also renamed the myproyect.byc file to bytecode.byc.

Regards.

Why are you still with v1065? Blackberry, maybe?

I haven't watched the video recently. I set my Android up based on the original guide from the help pages.

The byte code file absolutely must be in <andproj>/assets/media. That is probably the reason your project isn't working.

I copied all of the files in my project´s media folder to the <andproj>/assests folder, which includes images too. Should I copy my project´s media folder (all of the content) to <andproj>/assets/media and not only the byte code file?

By the way, where is the "original guide" to setup a project for Android?

Best regards.

The original guide is part of the help pages.

Everything except AGKSplash.png goes into <andproj>/assets/media. Otherwise your app won't see them. Unless you change the current folder using the SetFolder command (which I don't recommend).

My issue was fixed copying the media folder inside the assets folder as you suggested. However, three buttons do not show the graphic (they still work fine) although they are included in the media folder. Such buttons show only the graphic when they are pressed, but not when I release them.
I will very much appreciate any comment.

Did you make sure that the names used in your code are exactly the same as the actual file names (and case really does count in Android)?

That is the most common problem with getting Android to work.

Make sure all your media files have the same capitalization as in your code. It's case sensitive on the Android so it has to match exactly.
