Error Android

mysps

I'm getting an error with a red mark on this line in the manifest xml file:

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

When i removed it, it was fine however inside of the emulator the app was upside down.

Any clue how to fix this?

The app is set to Android 2.3.3 ..

thanks

You probably need to update your Android SDK

You need to install Android 4.0.3 SDK.

atilim

uh.. ninja'd

ar2rsawseen

First,
@atilim you got rusty, that's what vacation do to your body and mind

atilim

hahahaha. I just had left my computer for a couple of minutes. For the next time, I'll beat you definitely

mysps

ahh ha..

thanks! gosh i really hate android, is that difficult to upgrade? i've already had a miserable experience upgrading from 3.5 to 3.7

atilim

But you don't need to upgrade your android. You only need to install Android 4.03 SDK through SDK Manager. (I've attached a screenshot)

ar2rsawseen

I guess the other way to put it, is that you need to upgrade android on your computer and NOT your phone. If this was the case

mysps

it says that it is already installed..

am i missing something?

edit--> i think i have it after reading the other post. i can target 4.03 however, it will work for Android devices 2.2 and above correct?!

if so perfect!

talis

yes @mysps it will work for the devices 2.2 and above. In your manifest.xml you will see that minumum sdk is 8 it means 2.2 and above.

talis

Ok just for information about min sdk version and target sdk version. So whatever Gideros studio is compiling in android it's taget sdk level will be set as API Level: 15 (4.03) and Minsdklevel is set to 8 2.2

android:minSdkVersion

An integer designating the minimum API Level required for the application to run. The Android system will prevent the user from installing the application if the system's API Level is lower than the value specified in this attribute. You should always declare this attribute.

android:targetSdkVersion

An integer designating the API Level that the application is targetting.

With this attribute set, the application says that it is able to run on older versions (down to minSdkVersion), but was explicitly tested to work with the version specified here. Specifying this target version allows the platform to disable compatibility settings that are not required for the target version (which may otherwise be turned on in order to maintain forward-compatibility) or enable newer features that are not available to older applications. This does not mean that you can program different features for different versions of the platform—it simply informs the platform that you have tested against the target version and the platform should not perform any extra work to maintain forward-compatibility with the target version.

thanks guys

i have it working but i get this error in the logcat

07-23 16:05:28.664: E/libEGL(652): called unimplemented OpenGL ES API

mysps

yep i made the changes

<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00010001" />

but i'll restart eclipse and everything again.

@mysps Also make sure you do a clean project to remove any pre-compiled code caches from Eclipse. I run into that trouble sometimes when I change libraries etc.

mysps

ah ok i'll do that @teranth!

thanks

ar2rsawseen

@mysps so did it help?

mysps

I'm actually still getting the error code despite adding that feature for glEs and I have cleaned it and removed the project from Eclipse and added it again.

Does it cause problems for the user?

talis

@mysps if you published you application, and after it you deleted project from eclipse or changed it somehow, the only things that are needed to update the same program,
1-Key file that you signed apk.
2-same package name

If you have those you can update you apk and publish it again in google play.

mysps

Its not published yet. I was worried about the error code although it worked in the emulator..

i'll try to compile it again from gideros and add to eclipse!
