How to use Flurry for Android plugin? I can't run it.

romka · October 2013

First of all I had downloaded plugin http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile/Flurry-plugin-for-Android and registered on flurry.com. Then I ran FlurryTest.gproj through the Gideros Player on my Android device and caught the error:

main.lua is uploading.
Uploading finished.
main.lua:2: module 'flurry' not found:
	no field package.preload['flurry']
	no file './flurry.lua'
	no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/flurry.lua'
	no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/flurry/init.lua'
	no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/flurry.lua'
	no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/flurry/init.lua'
	no file './flurry.so'
	no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/flurry.so'
	no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'
stack traceback:
	main.lua:2: in main chunk
main.lua is uploading.

The code here is:

--require flurry
require("flurry")
 
if(flurry.isAvailable()) then
  ------
end

I tried to export project and build it to *.apk file (I've done all instructions here: http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile/Flurry-plugin-for-Android), but this program also didnt't run on my device.

What I did wrong?

Have you followed all the directions? My first guess is that you forgot to either add "System.loadLibrary("flurry");" or "com.giderosmobile.android.Flurry" to external classes. It's about a third of the way down the webpage on the appcodingeasy tutorial. Hopefully that fixes it?

Hi, @amaximov!

Thank you for answer.

Have you followed all the directions?

Yes, I think so, but I'll recheck it one more time.

My first guess is that you forgot to either add "System.loadLibrary("flurry");" or "com.giderosmobile.android.Flurry" to external classes.

Did I understand you correctly, that you talking about settings in Android project in Eclipse? But how to run Flurry in Gideros Player? Is it possible? Or this code works only in built *.apk file?

@romka flurry is mobile device only, they don't support desktop applications, thus plugin is android and ios only

romka · October 2013

@ar2rsawseen, sorry for my newbie questions. Is it mean, that I have to comment line

require("flurry")

when I run application on Gideros Player and uncomment before export project?

ar2rsawseen · October 2013

You can do something like:

if application:getDeviceInfo() == "Android" or application:getDeviceInfo() == "iOS" then
    require "flurry"
end

and then in your code when you want to use flurry, simply do:

if flurry then
    flurry.logEvent(...)
end

@ar2rsawseen, thank you for a help, I'll use this snippet in my code.

But I still can't run Flurry plugin in Android project. I attached to this post two screenshots of my Android project settings. When I run this project in debug mode I catch following error messages:

10-06 21:20:40.236: W/dalvikvm(15537): threadid=11: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40f62930)

Could you please help me to understand, how to fix this errors?

Just tested it with latest Flurry SDK and it seems to be ok
You don't even need to add libraries to build path anymore, but simply copying it to the libs directory
Here is a project for set up Gideros Player with Flurry Plugin

@ar2rsawseen, thank you for your example. I found difference between my project and yours. I don't know why but in my project wasn't checked checkbox "FlurryAgent.jar: in tab "Order and Export" under the menu "Java build path".

Also, I don't know why, but Lua code:

flurry.logEvent("EventWithParameters", {key="val", anotherkey="anotherval"})

doesn't work for me, but following lines work correctly:

flurry.logEvent("some event 1")
flurry.logEvent("some event 2", 'some value')

I have the same problem. If I pass a table as the second argument I get an invalid key to 'next' error. This suggests a problem with flurrybinder.cpp/copyParameters().

ar2rsawseen · December 2013

sure will check that

ar2rsawseen · December 2013

thats actually interesting because from code, only table should work and string value must've made error, will debug more

bml · December 2013

The only logEvent that works for me is a single parameter.
