Hello, I've finally gotton round to doing some android deploying and I'm having some issues with the virtual android device.

Every time I run my game, I get the error:
"The application AppGameKit Player (process com.teamdefiant.TheMobileGame) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

LogCat says the following:


I suspect the line of importance is:
12-03 15:23:07.406: E/AndroidRuntime(537): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to find native library: android_player
Anyone know what to do?

Are you compiling your own version of the apk? If so true setting "hasCode" to true in the AndroidManifest.xml, I've made this change internally but it has yet to be realeased in the source version.

I just had the folder layout wrong. I deleted everything and went back to the start and got it sorted!

I now have my android games working!

Now I just gotta find out why it shows up as Unknown in the device folder, whilst the (broken) version came up with the company (or app) name. Nothing major, just my pride! lol

I have noticed since downloading some of the games from the android market is that none of these games have the option to move the data to the sd card. the memory adds up quick and i think that moving files to the sd card is an important feature to have and I personally would like to see that implemented in a future release.

I'm actually really pleased I have a stand alone APK with no issues. I had some with case sensitivity, but all fixed now.
I would like to double check a couple of things for repeat compiles of the final app..

I only need to recompile the libs with cygwin if:
The AppGameKit release is updated
I want to switch between android, bada, meego etc.

How do I replace the app icon / name? It always installs as apkplayer with the apk icon.

The icons and name are in the rel folder I believe. There are 3 icons, 1 @ 72x72 and 2 @ 57x57. Then an xml file with the app name in.

Tried out on XOOM and a couple of HTC phones. All looks well (apart from *cough* backgrounds on XOOM.

Seriously, a good job all said and can't wait to see a compile on iOS shortly.

I'm not too keen on this first time orientation thing: because I'm using SetOrientationAllowed(0,0,1,1), can I just include the orientation config file (or rem out something) to stop this?

When you compile in eclipse you can remove this, check out the comments in Core.cpp for removing calibration. You can also then set the manifest.xml file to "sensorLandscape" with SetOrientationAllowed(1,0,0,0) to get true landscape support with landscape keyboard and status bar.

After following the compiling for tier1 guide to the letter i finally got my standalone .apk file on my device for testing.It runs just as expected exactly the same as broadcasting from the AppGameKit IDE and using the AGKplayer app.But thats the problem,the player on start up automatically switches to portrait mode although the graphics on screen are still in landscape mode the status bar runs vertically down the right hand side.Now my apps doing the same,the screen switches to portrait but my game still plays in landscape as it was designed to,its not a big problem,it just looks strange with the status bar being turned round.
Is there some setting that can be changed in the manifest file or else were to keep the player app in landscape when needed?

You can change the manifest orientation to Landscape in AndroidManifest.xml by changing :

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

to

android:screenOrientation="landscape"

But you then also need to change the orientation options in your code to something like:

SetOrientationAllowed ( 1, 0, 0, 0 )

Just tried to run the AppGameKit Player on my shiny new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and get the dreaded AppGameKit PLAYER has stopped responding error. It never even gets past the black start up screen.

I have downloaded the latest player from the Market, as well as uninstalled that and installed the separate apk file from my order history (November 2011 release) No avail..

Does anyone have this thing running on a Galaxy Tab...

Yes, you simply need to update the operating system to a newer version of Honeycomb (3.X). The 3.X version of Android that comes with the Galaxy Tab is apparently not AppGameKit compatible for some reason. Samsung provides the update (here anyway) and you can check for it in the settings.

The AppGameKit player WAS working for me on android (2.3.7) but it randomly stopped being able to receive my app. It completes a little bit and then throws a random error (something like "I have app" or "Failed to flush" something or other. Sometimes it tries a few times but I can no longer get my game to run on my phone. Its pretty annoying because its been working since I got the phone and now my development is stalled. Any ideas ?

That hasn't worked. I've tried everything. Batvink has suggested that I wait and see if the network issue solves itself, so with that, I am going to bed

Well Sorry I missed your response here to me back in Jan, but I have already updated the thing to the 3.2 from 3.1 as you suggested. The issue remains.. Its unfortunate but I feel I have wasted the money on this whole thing. Nothing I do makes it work on what is a significant market share device. Looking to get going with some other technology....

Well Just updated my phone to 2.3.5 (An ATT LG Thrill).
I installed the Player on it like I did on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I run the player on my phone and go through the calibration.
On this laptop I load up a sample and broadcast it like I tried to do on the Galaxy Tab. Even on the phone the app never broadcasts. I tried turning off VMWARE adapters. I tried connecting to a different wireless network with the laptop and the phone (Where there is no firewall). I tried Making the phone the wireless AP using the tethering option. In all cases I can point my phone at the laptops Webserver and see it come up in the browser. I turned off all that stuff in the laptop (The firewall in the laptop is always off but I checked just to be sure).

I all cases the thing wont work. I have NEVER gotten anything to broadcast to any of my android devices.. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I just downloaded the AppGameKit IDE on Windows 7 and the AppGameKit player on my LG Lucid. The example games compile and run fine on the PC but when I broadcast to the player nothing seems to happen. The IDE log says "Broadcasting app..." and then, "Complete." but the player is just sitting in standby mode. Can anyone help me? Is anyone else having this problem?

The AppGameKit player problem I was having has something to do with the network setup. I was able to get it to work on a different network.

I tried to run the 3d example on the current beta version of the AppGameKit player on my Android Phone, the Game title appears then exits the player. Runs ok on PC. The android phone is a Sony XPERIA. 2d game examples run no problem.
Any one else having same problem?

What version of the Android Player are you using? And what version of the AppGameKit IDE are you using?

It is necessary to use a Player version compatible with your AppGameKit IDE.

A v1085 version has been posted by MikeMax in here.
