Proc 2.0a4 Can't export Signed Package in Android mode

in Android Processing • 1 year ago

Just feeling my way into getting an Android App out of one of my games and hitting problems.

- I installed latest Android SDK (Tools at rev16) and using Proc 1.5.1 in Android mode I load a simple program, run it and get the "obselete build.xml" message. I can't fully understand the posts on this in the forum so try another tack.

- I installed Proc 2.0a4 but when I try to run the sketch in the emulator I get the other problem - "Emulator never booted". If I prelaunch device Processing-0197 from the AVD Manager and then try, in Processing, to Run in Emulator, it will on a second attempt run. All a bit slow & iffy but it works.
But if I now try to export a signed Package (which I assume is what I need to generate an uploadable App) I get "Exporting Signed Packages not yet implemented".

So I seem to be snookered whatever I do.

Am I missing something here ? Should I just wait for the full Proc2.0? And does anyone know how long is that likely to be?

Thanks
Geo

1.5.1 + Android is officially deprecated. Go back to using 1.5.1.

The error message that you get means that you have to download a new build.xml.
Unfortunately, I don't know where you can find one.

You could try reinstalling Processing, or updating the Android SDK.

For your exporting signed packager errors, likely it isn't implemented.
If it doesn't work, follow AKEric's steps.

Yeah, the P5 team is still working on this - it's an open issue.

Kinda sucks, with 1.5.1 being broken too... we're all kinda stuck atm...

If you star it, you can be notified of changes, but it's flagged as 'Priority-Critical', so Im sure it will be sorted out by 2.0a5 or so...

Hi!

I have a 14 page guide I wrote on signing an android application manually.

It shouldnt take you too long! its a bit strange at first but I am sure you will be fine at it!

Here it is:

hey Joseph... good tutorial, I'll try out some of your apps... all made in P5 ?

The problem that geoproc is stating however, is that there currently NO WAY to export from the PDE, as Android Mode with 1.5.1 is broken, and the Signed Export in 2.0a4 is unimplemented...

Many thanks. Downloaded the tutorial and had a quick look. Nothing too scary but I need to put a chunk of time aside for this. Hopefully next week.
cheers,

Have installed everything as per jaboston's excellent guide to Android App generation (see his link a few posts back) but have hit a snag running the Cats_Dream example while in Standard Mode - it seems I am lacking an android library for the following:
.
.
// here are your important imports.
import android.media.*;
import android.content.res.*;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
.
.

Anyone know where I can get this? Have searched in vain.....

Also, I notice that if I run the example in Android Mode Processing doesn't complain about the lack of the library. Why is that?

thanks
