android api changes: registering methods -> make library also working on android

in Android Processing • 3 years ago

Hi,

according to the android documentation the registering methods mechanism was not ported to android:

Registering methods (registerPost(), registerDraw(), etc) is not supported. Too much overhead for too little benefit.
(see http://wiki.processing.org/w/Android#API_Changed.2C_Gone.2C_or_Forgotten)

so i am wondering how to make one of my libs ( Ani) running on android, without having to develop seperate versions? any hint to have something like the "registering methods mechanism" on all target plattforms would be welcome.

thanks.

Right, I think we'll still need the registered methods code, moreso than when I had removed them from the Android code.

The problem, however, is that the MouseEvent and KeyEvent classes passed in to the mouse/key events on the desktop version don't exist on Android. So that means something will need to change in how those are set up, which means that we may as well change some other things that will make the API more compact. e.g. register("draw", this) instead of registerDraw(this) et al., which would give us more room to implement other calls.

So, they're coming, but I need some time to get it wrapped up.

thanks for the information! and good to hear that there will be in future an easy solution.

looking forward to the new register mechanism.

Hey,

Just curious if this has been resolved such that the Ani library works on Processing for Android?

I can run a project with Ani included if I include Ani.jar in the /code directory but calls to Ani.to() don't work. However, other calls that just grab constants from Ani do (see the below attached example), so its linking to Ani correctly.

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Thanks,

Anand
