So what is the preferred way to set the renderer?

in Android Processing • 3 years ago

Hello!

Processing for android is great! After reading the wiki, I'm still a bit puzzled as to the correct way to set the renderer. If I use

size(screenWidth, screenHeight, A2D)

the parser tells me that it was unable to parse the size command (and I should not use variables, which thing I have also tried). If I define a method like

String sketchRenderer() {

return "A2D"

}

then running the sketch in the emulator just gives me a popup saying that the the sketch has stopped unexpectedly and I am presented a button that says "Force Quit". The sketch I am running is trivial, but I would like to port a more complex sketch to android and I need 3D (and hence need to set the renderer) for it to work.

I am on linux, using processing-0190 and Android API 7.

Thanks in advance!

Partially answered my own question

"A2D" should be just A2D

The only reason you ever need to set the renderer (or use the size() command) is if you want 3D. So there's no point in using size() with A2D.

If it's giving you an error about "no variables in size()" then that most likely means that you have a typo, or you're using 0187 instead of 0190.

Thanks Ben. That I only need to change the renderer for 3D was clear from the docs (which are coming along nicely), but since my 3d sketch was giving me errors, I had taken out all of the extra stuff that I could think of, 3d being one of those things.
