Just can't seem to save snapshot to Android device...

Hi,

Can anyone help?

I’m having real problems saving a snapshot of my display window to the DCIM folder on the Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet I’m working on…

It hasn’t got an SD card in but I’ve found the path to the gallery file: //storage//sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/myImage.jpg

I’ve looked through all the relevant forum posts I could find and followed the suggestions on the most relevant one – here…

I’ve set ‘WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE’ in the Android sketch permissions… and tried out every variation of rolher’s and ak_eric’s suggestion of: save("//sdcard//DCIM/Camera/myImage.png") that seemed sensible…

I thought at first that it might be ‘doubling’ of the 2^nd forward slash but no good and I’ve seen the same format elsewhere so can’t be a typo…

I’ve tried using the ‘sdcard0’ that my device says and including ‘storage’ at the root, to try to mirror the path it reports…

The sketch is still running ok but, hard as I look, I just can’t find any saved image on my device….

Anybody any ideas? Any advice gratefully received...

Sorry if I’ve missed something obvious….

Cheers

Tom

Same problems as everyone else running sketch in emulator - have tried everything...

First... apologies for asking what I know has already been covered several times in several previous posts...

I wouldn't ask except I've been through all the various relevant forum posts over the past two years, implemented all the various suggestions and solutions but without success :-(

As a newbie, I wasn't sure whether to add on to an existing, but old thread or start a new one.

I've opted to start a new one to act as a bit of a summary for anyone coming after me but also to see if any new solutions have emerged in the past 6 months with recent revisions/versions of each of the softwares...

Thank you calsign for your overview of the problem and for taking this on....and for everyone who's already posted on this subject....

Thanks also in advance to anyone who is able to give any advice/ assistance...

Ok...

I'm trying to run a simple test sketch in an emulator but, after several other issues which I've managed to resolve, am now getting a consistent error message:
"An error occurred while running “android create avd”: The default Android emulator could not be set up. Make sure that the Android SDK is installed properly, and that the Android and Google APIs are installed for level 10. (Between you and me, occasionally, this error is a red herring, and your sketch may be launching shortly.)"

The console then says that it "Could not create a virtual device for the emulator".
- I am running Processing 2.0 Beta7 on a Mac running Mac OSX 10.6.8 with full software update (including Java)
- I am logged on as an administrator
- The Processing sketch is a simple colour display test. It uses no libraries and works fine in standard Java mode.
- I have installed Android SDK Tools 21.1 and API levels 17 and 10 (as instructed by the processing wiki)
- I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Processing and Android to make sure I've got the very latest versions
- I've checked to make sure that there are no other versions of Processing or Android on my system
- Android SDK Manager and AVD Manager both open fine from PDE.
- I can also create and launch AVDs from AVD Manager in PDE without problem.
- I have checked the path from PDE to Android is correct within the preferences.txt (as suggested here)
- I have tested the issue with AVDs named ‘Processing-Android-7’, 'Processing-200' and ‘Processing-0207’ as suggested in various posts (here and here)
- I have included the line ‘android.emulator.port=5554’ line into the preferences.txt after checking the number 5554 with that generated by an AVD launched and running from PDE (as suggested here )
- I have tried waiting for each AVD to launch and initialise completely before trying to run the sketch (suggested here and here)
- I have tried using the 'reset connections' option but without any apparent result other than console message: "Shutting down any existing adb server"
- I've even tried i.papanis'suggestion of running Eclipse in the background and izumitelj's suggestion of temporarily deleting executables related to 64-bit system
From the above and some of calsign's recent comments, it sounds like the problem lies with Processing.

I note that Ben Fry has said that the 'AVD should be automatically created by Processing the first time you run using the emulator"

This doesn't seem to be happening for me - and creating and renaming my own AVD hasn't helped...

...I've been through all the posts I can find but can't work out what else I might have missed...

Looking at the final lines of the console message ("....Error: This platform has more than one ABI. Please specify one using --abi.

at bottom of ensure proper" ) and a few posts I've seen here , here and here , I'm beginning to think I might need to consider working from the command level....

However, I have no experience of this so scared to proceed any further without advice.

Has anyone any suggestions?

Cheers

Tom
