Swarm (social sdk) problem

Hi all!

I just found a nice android sdk for leaderbords, achievements, in-app shops and cloud data...

http://swarmconnect.com/

Here's the reference (when you are logged in, there's a step by step tutorial.

Howerver it always throws some exeptions.

Here are the first steps of the documentation:
1. Add the following code to your app's AndroidManifest.xml, inside the <application> </application> tags.
```
<activity android:name="com.swarmconnect.SwarmMainActivity" 
```
2. ```
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" 
```
3. ```
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" 
```
4. ```
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" /> 
```
5. ```
<receiver android:name="com.swarmconnect.SwarmConnectivityReceiver"> 
```
6. ```
<intent-filter> 
```
7. ```
<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" /> 
```
8. ```
</intent-filter> </receiver>
```
Then I had to add some permissions.
1. Extend SwarmActivity
  For Swarm to properly respond to requests, all activities in your app must extend SwarmActivity instead of Activity (SwarmActivity extends Activity). Note that the SwarmActivity class behaves the same as the Activity class, but it also does some work for you behind the scenes to manage interactions with Swarm.
```
public class MyActivity extends Activity { 
```
2. ```
public class MyActivity extends SwarmActivity { 
```
  Using another library (such as LibGDX) that doesn't allow you to extend SwarmActivity?
  Alternatives to extending SwarmActivity
  Swarm just needs to be notified as activities take the foreground (and leave the foreground). This enables Swarm to show notifications like "Achievement Unlocked" and "Item Purchased". Just add the following to each of your activities.
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
3. super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
4. Swarm.setActive(this);
5. }
6. public void onResume() {
7. super.onResume();
8. Swarm.setActive(this);
9. }
10. public void onPause() {
11. super.onPause();
12. Swarm.setInactive(this);
13. }
I tried the alternative. Is there a way to extend the main class with processing?
1. Initialize Swarm
  You will need to initialize Swarm at every entry point into your app, typically this is in your main Activity's onCreate() method. Add the following line of code in your main Acitiviy's onCreate() method and replace SWARM_APP_ID and "SWARM_APP_KEY" with your App ID and App Key from the Admin Panel.
```
Swarm.init(this, SWARM_APP_ID, "SWARM_APP_KEY");
```
This is where my app crashes (when i comment out this init stuff, it compiles).

Any ideas?
The sdk should be rather simle to implement.

Hi guys!

I'm currently coding a game for android with processing.

The installation (apk) is about 7.4 mb.
There are about 6 mb of media files (mostly png's and a few mp3's).
I've made a heap dump and it says the heap is around 17mb. Okay this makes sense, the pngs are no longer packed while the game is running etc.
However, when I start a task manager program on my phone, while my game is running, it says it uses 54mb of memory (right after starting the game, and later, when the images were displayed up to 77mb)
Is that normal?

fps problem

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to code a game for android with processing.

When I start the game I got a only about 45 fps (default max fps is 60).
When I put the game in the background by pressing "home" on the phone (the little house on the htc phone),
and then make it active again, i 've got constantly about 60 fps.

I'm using the A3D renderer (heard it's the same as OPENGL and P3D on android).

Has anybody an idea why? How can I have 60 fps without this trick?

Hi guys!

I'm a noob in android processing and I got a problem.
When I want to load an image it says: "Could not find the image bgmountain.bmp.
Where do I have to put the image? In my skech folder?
In standard mode, Pimage works.
Debugging in android mode on the emulator and on the device works, when i run something without pimage.
1. PImage bgmountain;
  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  void setup()
  {
  //size(480,800);
  size(screenWidth, screenHeight, A2D);
  orientation(LANDSCAPE);
  bgmountain = loadImage("bgmountain.bmp");
  background(bgmountain);
  noStroke();
  smooth();
  }
  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  void draw()
  {
  background(bgmountain);
  pushStyle();
  fill(180,100,100);
  rect(mouseX, mouseY, 50, 50);
  popStyle();
  }
thanks
