Can't run NMETemplate in Android Emulator and Witstech A81E

[dimanux]

Hi all, sorry for my English, I'm from Russia :)

I compiled NMETemplate with android target and tested it on Android Emulator (2.1-update1). After changing of screen orientation the app was closed. On Witstech A81E application was closed immediately after white screen appearing. I have attached a log to the message. It is possible to fix it? Or I'm doing something wrong?

Hmm, that's strange.

It is possible that NME is doing something that the Android emulator is not processing correctly, but it isn't good that the application is crashing on your device!

What version of Android does your device use? Do you know what CPU instructions it uses (ARMv6, ARMv7, etc) and if it is compatible with the Android NDK?

Hi,
Yes, the android emulator is not really supported since I do most of my
"emulation" in flash or desktop hxcpp.
I could be that it can't even create an opengl context.

The information I am finding points to Android not supporting OpenGL ES in  
its emulator.

As for debugging, I totally agree:


1.) Use Flash to test your application logic. It's fast and easy to debug

2.) Use CPP for the desktop to test C++ instead of Flash. This will help  
test or display some C++ specific behaviors

3.) Use your device (webOS, Android, iOS) to test C++, on your target  
mobile platform, or just in your hand


Fortunately all of these targets are fast, but I find my work to go even  
faster if I rely first on Flash or CPP on the desktop.

Thanks for answers and advices :)
My device is A81E (specification, android 2.2, ARM A8). And there is a log from cmd of running nme on this device. After application was installed one frame rendered (even with bitmap data) and immediately closed... Help me, please :) I want to start nme on this tablet.

I found a problem in NME_SOURCE/project/android/AndroidFrame.cpp:

void AndoidRequestRender()
{
        jclass cls = gEnv->FindClass("org/haxe/nme/MainView");
   jmethodID mid = gEnv->GetStaticMethodID(cls, "renderNow", "()V");
   if (mid == 0)
       return;
    gEnv->CallStaticObjectMethod(cls, mid );
}

There is wrong method type calling with function CallStaticObjectMethod... It must be CallStaticVoidMethod. After replacing it with:

void AndoidRequestRender()
{
        jclass cls = gEnv->FindClass("org/haxe/nme/MainView");
   jmethodID mid = gEnv->GetStaticMethodID(cls, "renderNow", "()V");
   if (mid == 0)
       return;
   gEnv->CallStaticVoidMethod(cls, mid);
}

application run excellent on my A81E! :)

I am so glad it is working!

Thank you! I have tested and committed this change to the NME repository  
so it will be fixed in the next release.

Have a great day!

Are there any plans to get the nightly nme builds back up?

That's a good question!

Nightly builds would be nice. Last I heard, Cauê Waneck was working on  
setting some up.

On the other hand, it sounds like he's also porting Haxe to Java, C# and  
working on HxGL

Busy guy! We're all thankful to have him ;)

Hey! Yeah, I had set up the windows builds, I don't know what happened. I'll check them right now. I already have all the infrastructure ready to do all the builds (but linux32, even though I can build them in a linux64 if I can get it right), I just need to find some time to  actually build the first time. The svn check/build/upload is already ready.

On the other hand, it sounds like he's also porting Haxe to Java, C# and working on HxGL

hahah you're very kind : )
I'm very proud to be a part of this community, and it seems everybody's busy to make it better ;)
