3rd party libraries won't work

in Android Processing • 8 months ago

Hello there.

I am trying to build something for Android and apparently Processing has a problem to compile the libraries that I want to use for it.
I am using Processing 1.5, because I need the GLGraphics library for Unfolding Maps and it won't work with 2.0. I am trying to run it on a mobile device, Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2
Every other example provided by Processing itself works fine, but as soon as I try to start an example from Ketai or Unfolding, it will give me errors that the classes couldn't be compiled and that the packages couldn't be found.

Here's the console error for the Ketai Geolocation code:

I tried to find a solution everywhere, but I simply can't find one. The library folders are all properly named and sorted.
Can anyone help me please?

you should maybe post your code...
even if the problem might come from the version of processing you are using.

The code is directly from an example from Ketai.

/**
* Ketai Sensor Library for Android: http://KetaiProject.org
*
* Ketai Location Features:
* <ul>
* <li>Uses GPS location data (latitude, longitude, altitude (if available)</li>
* <li>Updates if location changes by 1 meter, or every 10 seconds</li>
* <li>If unavailable, defaults to system provider (cell tower or WiFi network location)</li>
* </ul>
* Syntax:
* <ul>
* <li>onLocationEvent(latitude, longitude, altitude)</li>
* <li>onLocationEvent(latitude, longitude)</li>
* <li>onLocationEvent(latitude, longitude, altitude)</li>
* 
* Updated: 2012-10-21 Daniel Sauter/j.duran
*/

import ketai.sensors.*;

double longitude, latitude, altitude;
KetaiLocation location;

void setup() {
orientation(LANDSCAPE);
textAlign(CENTER, CENTER);
textSize(36);
location = new KetaiLocation(this);
}

void draw() {
background(78, 93, 75);
if (location.getProvider() == "none")
 text("Location data is unavailable. \n" +
 "Please check your location settings.", 0, 0, width, height);
else
 text("Latitude: " + latitude + "\n" +
 "Longitude: " + longitude + "\n" +
 "Altitude: " + altitude + "\n" +
 "Provider: " + location.getProvider(), 0, 0, width, height);
// getProvider() returns "gps" if GPS is available
// otherwise "network" (cell network) or "passive" (WiFi MACID)
}

void onLocationEvent(double _latitude, double _longitude, double _altitude)
{
longitude = _longitude;
latitude = _latitude;
altitude = _altitude;
println("lat/lon/alt: " + latitude + "/" + longitude + "/" + altitude);
}

I can't use the newer version of Processing, as I need the Maps which won't work with it. The Unfolding library was working with Processing 1.5 before, but now it suddenly doesn't work anymore (as with all the other contributed libraries, such as Ketai or GLGraphics, giving these erors). The only thing I changed was that I downgraded the Android sdk, so it will work on Processing 1.5,

I just thought I might add this.

What version of Ketai do you have ? It is likely built against the latest Processing, so probably won't work on an older version of 1.5.1 + older SDK...

And I would be very surprised if Unfolding worked at all, on any distro...

Thanks for the reply!
I'm using the newest version of the Ketai library, because I haven't found any older versions around anymore...
But I found another code that works fine and catches the GPS data now, without Ketai.

Unfolding worked on 1.5 on my computer, but that one just doesn't seem to be compatible with Android then.. Any tips which maps library might work on Android? I've been searching for one for quite a long time, but I can't find one. One for Processing 2.0 would be even greater. But I've read that there isn't a working one for 2.0 out yet.
