I created a game and made up my apk file but I get no images in android. I just get black and white blocks and a red X. I know I read about this that someone eles had but I can't find it. The only thing that does show up is the icon. Any idea what I did wrong

Do you have all media files like this.
assets/media

You are supposed to have a folder named media inside the assets folder where you have your media and bytecode.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread , ZTE Skate , 480x800 , 800 mhz cpu , Samsung Galaxy Y , 240x320 , 832 mhz cpu
Android 4.0 Sandwich , Dmtech 3g 9738B , 1024x768 , 9.7 inches , cortex A8 1.2 cpu , 1 gb ram.

Thanks its not supposed to be visual on computer and only on mobile devices.
Computer only uses arrow keys to move

Its currently one hand controls thats why you jump with down arrow

Do you use only simple names for your media?

and not

My fancy titel image.png

I have something in the back of my head about not using spaces and stuff in image names?

I don't think I have any with space's I will have to look to make sure. The thing is the image I use for the icon is one of the same images in game just a differnt size. The icon show's up fine.

If your images are loading fine for other platforms and not for Android, it could be an uppercase/lowercase issue with your image paths in the code. For Android, case matters. .

Make sure you use the same capitalization of your filenames in your code and Media directory. AppGameKit doesn't care about capitalization but the Android compiler does.

Hi guys,

As Android is a Linux type environment, no spaces and no capitals......I was knew to it but once in your head it's the first place to check for errors!

Constantly seeking!

Just to clarify, spaces and capitals are fine as long as you have the exact same spaces and capitals in your code... For example, there is no harm in having 'My Image.png' providing this is exactly replicated when loaing your media in AGK. All my media has spaces and capitals for both Android and iOS...

I think people tend to advise to just use lowercase and no spaces as then you cannot possibly have a descrenpancy (unless you spelt it wrong or something, but then that would be pretty silly )...

I had this problem with a x. I was using an image sized 1280x720 to be used as a background, when I´ve changed it´s size to 480x320 the image was show.

Strange my device has a 1280x720 res (galaxy s3). I think is because of the SetVirtualResolution(480,320).
