HELP .apk problem

vedran

Hello, this is my first post ever on this forum

I am new to Gideros and for learning purposes I've tried to make a small test game. On the Gideros Player everything worked fine (never mind some bugs) but when I deployed the .apk file to the device (HTC Sensation) the application crashed, I suppose.
It only shows the "made with Gideros Studio" splash screen and then the screen goes blank and the application closes. Searching on this forum for help I've understood that such behavior can be caused by wrong case of graphics file names as Android is case sensitive but I still can't figure the problem as these names seem ok.
Can anybody please give a look?

Thank you and greetings from Croatia

This sounds like it could very likely be a filename problem. Filenames on Android are case sensitive so have to match the name of the file you are requesting. If you try to load "Start_menu.lua" and your file is called "start_menu.lua" then the file will not be found and you may end up with the error you described.

I have checked the file names and they seem ok. It's a little bit frustrating to debug code and find what am I doing wrong when in the Gideros Player everything works. ~X( . Maybe this can be a dependency issue?

Anyway, here's the project in the attachment.

yes, the problem is code dependency, you need add dependency for main (or use require). But bigger problem is you have 2main files, delete one :P

Interesting! It works fine running on device through Gideros Player but not as a build through eclipse.

This would suggest that the problem lies elsewhere as the Gideros Player is just a normal build without an empty assets folder.

Interestingly, I just looked at the output files from Gideros Studio export and the files in the project you're trying to compile with eclipse and your start_menu.lua is start_menu.lua.jet in the eclipse project but Start_menu.lua.jet in the project I just exported.

This would suggest that between exporting the project yourself and posting the project on this forum, the filename has been changed.

@hnim: Although the project shows 2 main.lua files, there is actually only one and this is reflected in both the project folder and the exported eclipse project folder. As the project works fine in Gideros Player (which I have tested and found to be the case) then code dependency is not the problem.

Yes, this is correct. In the beginning it was "start_menu.lua" but later I've changed it to mach the correct case in the code ( Start_menu = Core.class(Sprite) ).
I've done that with several other files/classes, recompiled it, exported it but the result was still the same:

@Scouser: you're right. i've test it again and code dependency is not the problem. But i think 2main files shown in project could be ide bug

@vedran: can you try this: remove 2main files (open Starfighter.gproj and remove 2lines) then re-import main file to project.

vedran

@hnim: I've done what you sad AND NOW IT'S WORKING!

Thank you for helping me guys

@hnim: Well you learn something new every day. It would appear that it was an IDE bug.
