Do you have the up-to-date AppGameKit?

You have the recent player, but if you're broadcasting from an older version of AppGameKit, that could cause the issue.


If that's not the problem, you could try creating a full screen sprite behind it. My android device has issues with drawing to the backbuffer, so it's necessary to have a backgroudn sprite


Just use
asdf=CreateSprite(0)
SetSprtieSize(asdf,640,480)

Well I had done
Reboot
stop, delete, uninstall and install
but i did it again just in case always the hope but still no look so did an ex-stream and factory ReRomed the device (not a huge deal as its my test device) and still no luck

My Device is
Anova 7 G2
Android 4.0.3
Kernel version 3.0.8+

I have been able to run AppGameKit Virtual Joystick on it before i have attached the test project i am using maybe it could help i get the same results when i get a APK from https://developer.thegamecreators.com/android/create_apk.php
so maybe using my byte code file you could test it on you devices if you want to see.

if you do test on your own.
Dose the APK show the Virtual Joystick?
Dose the Project when run from AppGameKit show the Virtual Joystick on Android?

Thanks for the continuing help

Ah I fixed it don't know what was
but i uninstalled AppGameKit and deleted the folder in Program Files (x86) and the \AppData\Roaming and when i reinstalled it worked so thanks again for the help and time

My report about this
it may of been down to leaving files in \AppData\Roaming on other re-installs of AGK
Or a random combination of all the things mentioned in the thread
PROBLEM SOLVED

In the snake snacker example game will broadcast to my phone. The phone menue says touch to play. touch screen not working.
I set the Virtual joystick code in the snake snacker example Input From Player inserted AddVirtualJoystick ( 1, 20, 300, 30 )

// main loop
do
ext.etc
the snakehead is detached and moves controlled by mouse courser pointing onto the joystick visible during game. The rest of the snake segs body is stationary. the free floating head is not effected by obstacles in the game. Music plays while the game frozen. Any suggestions how to keep the snake snacker moving while controlled by mouse courser pointing onto the joystick visible during game? I also see a error if snake_xd=-1 at line 649 preventing phone broadcast when edited with virtual joystick commands.
