Also, please don't rename the NDK directory extracted from the archive (it should be named android-ndk-r6-crystax-2, not just android-ndk-crystax) - my build system uses directory name to determine the NDK version, and enable/disable some quirks like using built-in STLPort.

Thank you. I installed NDK using a user-made buid script instead of downloading manually, so it was installed to /opt/android-ndk(-crystax). I downloaded manually and pulled, and now the process gets farther. I having a new error:


I'm using openjdk and ant installed through Arch Linux packages. I don't have experience building an android or NDK package before, so I don't know if my environment isn't set up properly

Hey pelya,
just a couple of questions:
1. If I checked it correctly onscreen keyboard is not running on a separate thread from SDL? So it's blocking whenever onscreen keyboard is called. Would it be possible to put keyboard on a different thread? This could be archieved by sending the full buffer(when user presses return) as SDL_UserEvent to SDL.

2. Is it possible to do a runtime change for GLES-surface from 16 to 32bpp or the other way around?

hagabaka: you should set target=android-12 inside file project/project.properties , because it seems that you are compiling Java code with the older target, and it cannot compile the USB mouse support code (ACTION_HOVER_MOVE event is declared only starting from Android 3.1, which is android-12 API level).
Also I never tried to use openjdk, I'm using sun-java6-jdk, however openjdk should work, according to the Android docs.

If I checked it correctly onscreen keyboard is not running on a separate thread from SDL? So it's blocking whenever onscreen keyboard is called. Would it be possible to put keyboard on a different thread? This could be archieved by sending the full buffer(when user presses return) as SDL_UserEvent to SDL.

Function SDL_ANDROID_ToggleScreenKeyboardTextInput() defined in SDL_screenkeyboard.h will not block, and it will send text input as a multiple SDK_KEYDOWN/KEYUP events. SDL 1.3 defines a dedicated SDL_TEXTINPUT event, and it's sent whenever you're using SDL 1.3 (you can set that in AndroidAppSettings.cfg), however there's no such event in SDL 1.2. Pressing text input button in the upper-left corner of the screen also will not block.
On the contrary the SDL_ANDROID_GetScreenKeyboardTextInput() will block, until the user has finished text input.

Is it possible to do a runtime change for GLES-surface from 16 to 32bpp or the other way around?

Not possible with my port, it would be possible with an official SDL 1.3 port from libsdl.org, if only the official port supported screen depth other than 32 bit. I want to add an option to the SDL startup menu, to select between 16 and 24 bit color modes, for applications that will support it (and possibly auto-select it, guessing from the phone model), however I cannot tell when it will be done.

Now the package builds correctly, and even runs briefly, displaying some graphics on my phone before it quits. I tried to use ndk-gdb --verbose --start --force as your README says, but it shows

So the debugger quits on my computer before the app even gets to the point where it quits.

There's no backtrace in adb logcat, I think the only relevant output is here somewhere, but I can send a full log if it helps.

The app code is at https://github.com/frogatto/frogatto/tree/android , I realize there will probably need to be more changes for it to work, but I was hoping to get some error messages to point me toward what to change...

Also even though project/AndroidManifest.xml says android:installLocation="preferExternal", adb tries to install it into internal storage and fails for me because there's insufficient storage. I had to use adb install -s to make it install ot SD card.

Ah yes, thanks pelya.

I was just looking at SDL_ANDROID_GetScreenKeyboardTextInput()-function. Good to know that there is also a non-blocking call.

Currently I'm using 1.2 so I guess I'll have to stick with the single key UP/DOWN events then.

Happy holidays!

I've fixed GFX problems in Frogatto - they were caused by on-screen keyboard messing up OpenGL state. Since you've got your own on-screen controls in iPhone port you might wish to use them instead of SDL built-in on-screen keyboard, I've updated the readme with instructions.
Here's .apk file that works, here's the patch against Frogatto repository.
It still crashes whenever I'm trying to leave the house in the game, and also it won't refresh textures when I'm putting the app to background via Home key and restoring it back - SDL sends SDL_VIDEORESIZE event when that happens, and I'm calling graphics::set_video_mode(), but that's not enough - the texture::ID::build_id() should re-load the texture from a disk, not rely on the texture::ID::unbuild_id() which will not work on Android. So I've commented out clearing SDL surface inside texture::ID::build_id() - it will store the surface both in OpenGL texture memory and in SDL surface (watch out memory usage!), but it will correctly reinit textures when restored from background.

BTW I've also fixed ndk-gdb not working.

Thanks a lot for your help so far. However I tried the .apk and building from with your patch, and both still quit before displaying the game menu. Here's adb logcat output:

What device do you have? Does it have Android 2.3? Could you try to run ndk-gdb from the official NDK r7? Yesterday ndk-gdb worked for me without problems.

Also, what kind of data files you are using? Did you download the 300 Mb archive with data, when my .apk file asked you at startup? Could you please try to remove application and install it again in a clean environment?

Edit: I confirm it crashes on the emulator, just after the loading screen, I'm going to debug it a bit.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Prevail, running Android 2.35. I also tried running it on emulator with target android-9 (2.3.1) and it has the same behavior. I did let the game finish downloading the 300MB data. I also tried uninstalling it, removing /sdcard/app-data/com.frogatto and reinstalling, and the same thing happens. I was using official sdk 7 already, but I also tried crystax r7 and debugger fails at the same point.

I've found why it crashes:

I/SDL-app ( 581): jni/../jni/application/frogatto/src/formula.cpp:1745: TEST CHECK FAILED: (formula("0.005").execute().string_cast()) == ("0.005"): formula("0.005").execute().string_cast(): 0.000; "0.005": 0.005
I/SDL-app ( 581): TEST formula_decimal FAILED!!

Disabling the tests did not solve the issue - it still crashes while loading menu. That most probably means you have pointer alignment problems - adding the magic incantation "-Wstrict-aliasing -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -Waddress" to the compiler flags shows a lot of warnings, mostly hidden inside Boost headers (the only other project that uses Boost library is VCMI, and it's extremely buggy, though I have no idea whether it's VCMI or Boost fault).

That to be said, my HTC Evo seems to be more forgiving to such errors - it can run the first level of the game.
New diff with debugging redirected to logcat, you'll also need to update SDL repository for it to compile.

Hello,

I tried to build ballfield like described in the readme for your port which looks very interesting.

I use the last version of your source on git for the SDL port on ubuntu with android12 and ndk r7

any idea on what I got wrong?

Seems like the file project/jni/sdl-1.2/src/audio/android/SDL_androidaudio.c did not get compiled, which is a mystery. It should be a symlink to the sdl-1.3 directory, and I've used symlinks inside my repository since beginning without problems, especially on Ubuntu. I've also got NDK r7 and recent SDK, and I've just tested the compilation to be sure.

Try to remove project/obj directory and recompile (run "./ChangeAppSettings.sh -a ; ./build.sh"). If that won't help try to replace symlink project/jni/sdl-1.2/src/audio/android/SDL_androidaudio.c with the actual file. Try removing "-j4" parameter to "make" command inside build.sh, so it won't parallelize the compilation jobs.

Pelya,

My application can basically run with your SDL port. Thanks a lot for your previous support.
My application also need camera input interface, can you share any idea about how to open camera in Android NDK?

Thanks.

Thanks for your help pelya, I managed to solve my issue, fyi :
SDL_androidaudio.c was entirely missing from my SDL 1-3 src folder, which was a bit tricky to see considering it was used behind a symlink as you explained, so I tried re-unzipping the repository from git and this file was still missing, I noticed that unzip was outputting some files directly in the standard output while decompressing, and these files were then missing in the unpacked folder, very strange : something might be wrong in the .zip version of the repository on git or in my setup (I used the latest version of unzip from apt..)

I downloaded the .tar.gz version and everything worked fine, I am very excited to use SDL on android thanks to your port, cool stuff
