Hi all,

Just thought I'd note it here that I've discovered a few problems with the S2 and the Note while using T1.

1) There seems to be a problem with writing files to the SD card - OpenToWrite() and OpenToRead() don't seem to work, but if I try to be clever and use OpenToWrite(GetWritePath()+"myfile.txt") it says I must use a relative path.

2) StopSound() seems to make the app crash on these platforms.

basjak, SI or SII? this is about SII and NOTE

Can you send me some sample code? I no longer use SDHC cards nor any memory cards but glad to test the stopsound issue...

I have AppGameKit full licence, just been waiting for 107 before I begin playing with it...

EDIT

@ mr valentine: download the example code.

@ ElNeil79: relative file path means all read and write files have relative location starts from media folder.

Thanks for the Welcome mrValentine,

I found out the sound problem in the end, for some reason calling stopSound() on a sound that isn't playing causes it to freeze on the S2 and Note. Can be avoided by checking whether the sound is already playing before attempting to stop it (I should have been doing this anyway - naughty naughty).

With regard to the problems with the relative path, it *seems*, although I'm not sure, that the S2's save location is on the SD card (I checked this by printing the string returned by getWritePath() ), so if there is no SD card present it fail.

It also seems that the Note uses "USB storage" instead of SD storage, as can be seen from the device storage settings, and perhaps AppGameKit doesn't know how to behave in this situation.

Might just be a problem with the "catch-all" way AppGameKit works, so for now I just put a check in my code so that hiscores aren't saved if a valid path cannot be found.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Neil
