Basic question about transferring app to phone

Unknown

Hi,

I'm a producer/designer working with a group of programming students to make a game. I am not a programmer, Gideros is new to me, as is the Droid platform.

The students sent me the game file. I have the app running on my PC.

I've got Gideros running on my Droid phone. I entered the IP address of my phone.

When I hit OK, I see the code run in Gideros on my PC, and the screen flashes on my phone. But my phone doesn't show the game window.

When I open GiderosAndroidPlayer.apk on my phone, it just shows the white page with a display of the IP address.

Can you explain what I need to fix/change in order to get the game app running on my phone? Thanks for your help.

I can see the game running when I stay with the local host - then I see it on my PC....

you need to open GiderosAndroidPlayer.apk on your phone
and while it's open start it button on your PC.

But that's just for testing. You can also export file as Android project and compile it in Eclipse with ADT plugin.

Of course you'll also need Latest Android SDK

@Brigit_Vucic did you happen to see the game on Droid correctly? If not, please tell us which step(s) you are stuck and we can help.

Hi,
The students sent me the game file. I have the app running on my PC.

In what format was this game sent in? Was it *.apk or *.zip with *.gproj file inside? The *.apk file can be run directly on the phone (once tranferred), but source files have to be either transferred to GiderosPlayer (running on the phone) from within Gideros Studio (running on the PC), or compiled to *.apk (by exporting from GiderosStudio and compiling with Eclipse + Android Developer Toolkit).
