Built and deployed the Player without any issues.

Followed the instructions and video to build my game.

I get the following 2 errors in eclipse:

Anyone have any idea how i fix this.

These errors are caused by changing the package name in the android manifest file.

They are really easy to fix.

Just double click on the error to open the java source file associated with it.

Scroll all the way up, find the one line of code that has something like "
", then click on the plus sign on the left of it.

Scroll down and look through all the lines of import code, there should be one that is commented out with "
".

Change this line to match the package name in the android manifest file that you have for you're project and un-comment it. "
" Make sure to leave the ".R;".

once edited just click on the "x" close mark in the file tab, choose to save changes and the error should be fixed.

Also you might want to update to the V108 BETA 7 since its out, it includes the new help files that explain this.

EDIT: Just by a bit

If you have changed your package name to something other than com.thegamecreators.agk_player then there is a line in IAPActivity.java and MyFacebookActivity.java that looks like this

You may have to click the little + icon near the top of the import section to see it. Uncomment this line and change it to your new package name. Don't change the other instances of agk_player in these files.

Edit: Beat me too it

Thanks both that fixed the eclipse issue . I did not want to change to beta 6 as the game is due out the door and everything is working (in the player at least).

But now when its deployed onto any of my devices it runs, rotates to landscape as it should and then just stays with a black screen.

(tested the same on 3 devices).


Any suggestions ?

Are we talking about the player or your game?

The Player works fine. Its my game that just shows as a blank screen when built as a Native App. My game works fine via the player.

Just to check, have you un-commented
on line 260 in interpreter.cpp?

Else it might be something in you're code that causing the issue.

Yes its un-commented and the file name is corret in the assets folder.

I suspect it may be in the code but how can i pin it down ? It plays fine via the player and on the desktop.

That's the thing when building Native, it always turns out different than it is on the player or desktop (sometimes for better or worse).

The best I can suggest is to look through you're code and make sure that everything is coherent (error free), from there start disabling things slowly and incrementally from the start of the game to the end. Testing each change out and seeing if it fixes anything.

Is the bytecode in assets/media/bytecode.byc?

You should,

No matter what I know that you will have to recompile in cygwin every time you change something.

Also make sure to clean out the old build before compiling the new one.

Just use "clean" instead of "2>log.txt" on the end of the compile command to do so. You might want to type them down first in the separate text file so you can copy and paste them to save on time.

Also refresh the file in eclipse and clean it before running.

And as John said make sure that the bytecode.byc is in "assets/media/" along with the rest of your resources.

So to be clear:
1. copy new bytecode.byc in assets/media
2. clean in cygwin, recompile afterwards
3.refresh and clean in eclipse
4.run

Yeah to make it easier just copy the whole "media" folder from you're T1 project folder into the assets folder, then just rename project.byc to bytecode.byc of course.

Sorry I should have asked that first before sending you off to edit you're code.
