Gideros 2016.10 released!

simwhi

@mertocan Let us know how you get on compiling Gideros.

unlying

May be there is a sense to remove this thread from announcement?

HubertRonald

Unfortunately the solution is to reinstall Sierra!

Hi @john26 I tried the above but still I've got some problems in Android Studio
Edit: I'm using Gideros 2017.3.1

my init.lua has the next:

local device,b,c,d,e = application:getDeviceInfo() print("\ninit line 227: \ninfo Device: \n -"..device.." \n -"..tostring(b).." \n -"..tostring(c).." \n -"..tostring(d).." \n -"..tostring(e))   local isPluginAvailable, err = pcall(function() require 'gaming' end) if isPluginAvailable then require 'gaming' end   print( "\ninit line 231: \n -".."isPlugiAvailable ".."gaming"..": "..tostring(isPluginAvailable), "\n\n -errorPlugin: "..tostring(err), "\n\n -Plugin.So: "..tostring(gaming) ) print("\n")

Running the above (for different plugins) in Android Studio (Emulator and device) I've got this (summary):


My folder structure looks like,

|--app: |--|--src: |--|--|--main |--|--|--|--jniLibs   |--|--|--|--|--armeabi |--|--|--|--|--|--libads.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libbitop.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libfacebook.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libflurry.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgaming.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgideros.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgooglelicensing.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgoogleplay.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgvfs.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libjson.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblfs.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblsqlite3.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblua.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libluasocket.so   |--|--|--|--|--armeabi-v7a |--|--|--|--|--|--libads.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libbitop.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libfacebook.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libflurry.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgaming.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgideros.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgooglelicensing.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgoogleplay.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgvfs.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libjson.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblfs.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblsqlite3.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblua.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libluasocket.so   |--|--|--|--|--x86 |--|--|--|--|--|--libads.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libbitop.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libfacebook.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libflurry.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgaming.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgideros.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgooglelicensing.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgoogleplay.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libgvfs.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libjson.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblfs.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblsqlite3.so |--|--|--|--|--|--liblua.so |--|--|--|--|--|--libluasocket.so   and so on

So ads plugin and gaming plugin crash because are true (isPluginAvailable) but modules are "nil"

any suggestion @john, @hgy29 or sombody
Thanks

P.D. my application running (Android Emulator and device) if I block ads plugin and gaming plugin

I forgotten gideros doesn't construct apk file neither install it on my android device. Also when I export full project (I did verify and configurated in all plugins that I needed in gideros console) for android studio (no old version) myAppActivy.java, manifest.xml, string and app gradle aren't configurated default in android studio so I did it manually.

hgy29

@HubertRonald,

Ads and Gaming plugins have multiple backends, hence you have to create the correct instance yourself: ads=Ads.new("backend")

HubertRonald

@HubertRonald,

Ads and Gaming plugins have multiple backends, hence you have to create the correct instance yourself: ads=Ads.new("backend")

@hygy29 It's correct but the issue is in "Ads" is "nil" also "Gaming" is "nil" though
.

local isAdsAvailable = pcall(function() require 'ads' end) local isGamingAvailable = pcall(function() require 'gaming' end) print (isAdsAvailable,isGamingAvailable ) -- you get true and true respectively (Android Studio)

This a big problem because app always goes to crash because in Android Studio or Emulator
.

if isAdsAvailable then require 'ads' end -- isAdsAvailable is true if isGamingAvailable then require 'gaming' end -- isGamingAvailable is true --[[ you get the next: Ads equal to "nil" Gaming equal to "ni" ]]

Hence the system said to you hey!! libgaming.so and libads.so are "available" but both -Ads and Gaming- are "nil"

HubertRonald

Ah! also "error" (when you use pcall) is "nil" in facebook, flurry, Ads, googlelicensing and Gaming- I suppose that mean there isn't error or maybe I'm losing something, I don't know

hgy29

Yes, that would mean there is no error actually. Maybe I was mislead because in the code you posted you were printing 'gaming', while you should have printed 'Gaming'. Can you double check ?

HubertRonald

Yes @hgy29 you're right!

But in Android Studio Build / Analyze Apk I see

System.loadLibrary("gaming") --It's in proyect --in Gideros Code I use global var. Gaming System.loadLibrary("ads") --It's in proyect --in Gideros Code I use global var. Ads System.loadLibrary("facebook") --It's in proyect System.loadLibrary("flurry") --It's in proyect System.loadLibrary("googlelicensing") --It's in proyect System.loadLibrary("googleplay") --It's in proyect

For that reason "pcall" does not catch any error in Android Studio
So I checked files android.mk for review its paths and so I moved gideros studio to:

/Applications/Gideros\ Studio/

Also install in android Studio the next
Add C and C++ Code to Your Project --though it is not strictly necessary

Well, with these new winds my problem inicial persistent
for example:

facebook: attempt to call method 'setAppId' (a nil value) -- no error with "pcall" and facebook is true Gaming: attempt to index field 'gaming' (a nil value) -- no error with "pcall" and Gaming is true flurry: index '__userdata' cannot be found -- no error with "pcall" and Gaming is true

So i don't know what be able to happen, well 'Ads', 'googlelicensing' and 'googleplay' don't crash, Although, I suppose this is because they should be tested in alpha or beta version in "google play console"

Any new ideas are welcome

HubertRonald

Hi again

As plugins.so are tables, I used this script (thx @ar2rsawseen) in Gaming (global variable)

function printR (t, indent, done) done = done or {} indent = indent or '' local nextIndent -- Storage for next indentation value for key, value in pairs (t) do if type (value) == "table" and not done [value] then nextIndent = nextIndent or (indent .. string.rep(' ',string.len(tostring (key))+2)) -- Shortcut conditional allocation done [value] = true print (indent .. "[" .. tostring (key) .. "] => Table {"); print (nextIndent .. "{"); printR (value, nextIndent .. string.rep(' ',2), done) print (nextIndent .. "}"); else print (indent .. "[" .. tostring (key) .. "] => " .. tostring (value).."") end end end

and after (in Android Studio)
Running-> print(Gaming): table: 0x936911ac
Running-> printR(Gaming): I've got this:

[deleteState] => function: 0x9369151c [loadAchievements] => function: 0x93691370 [loadScores] => function: 0x936913b0 [REVEALED] => 1 [__gc] => function: 0x936911f0 [incrementAchievement] => function: 0x936912ec [login] => function: 0x93691208 [showLeaderboard] => function: 0x93691244 [HIDDEN] => 2 [__index] => Table { { [deleteState] => function: 0x9369151c [loadAchievements] => function: 0x93691370 [loadScores] => function: 0x936913b0 [REVEALED] => 1 [__gc] => function: 0x936911f0 [incrementAchievement] => function: 0x936912ec [login] => function: 0x93691208 [showLeaderboard] => function: 0x93691244 [HIDDEN] => 2 [__index] => table: 0x936911ac [new] => function: 0x936911d0 [__basename] => EventDispatcher [showAchievements] => function: 0x936913d0 [UNLOCKED] => 0 [ALL_PLAYERS] => 1 [FRIENDS] => 0 [logout] => function: 0x936912b8 [ALL_TIME] => 2 [WEEK] => 1 [TODAY] => 0 [__classname] => Gaming [loadState] => function: 0x93691470 [reportAchievement] => function: 0x93691410 [updateState] => function: 0x936914a8 [resolveState] => function: 0x936914e0 [revealAchievement] => function: 0x93691330 [reportScore] => function: 0x93691280 } [new] => function: 0x936911d0 [__basename] => EventDispatcher [showAchievements] => function: 0x936913d0 [UNLOCKED] => 0 [ALL_PLAYERS] => 1 [FRIENDS] => 0 [logout] => function: 0x936912b8 [ALL_TIME] => 2 [WEEK] => 1 [TODAY] => 0 [__classname] => Gaming [loadState] => function: 0x93691470 [reportAchievement] => function: 0x93691410 [updateState] => function: 0x936914a8 [resolveState] => function: 0x936914e0 [revealAchievement] => function: 0x93691330 [reportScore] => function: 0x93691280

so "attempt to index field 'gaming' (a nil value)"
maybe i'm trying to index a nil value, but in previous report you can see that is all there

Again... Any new ideas are welcome

SinisterSoft

I use something like this and it works fine:

pcall(function() require "gaming" end) if Gaming then if android then if kindle then gaming=Gaming.new("gamecircle") else gaming=Gaming.new("googleplay") end elseif ios then gaming=Gaming.new("gamekit") end if gaming then gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_COMPLETE,function() print("gaming LOGIN_COMPLETE") login=true

here is an example for iab:

pcall(function() require "iab" end) if IAB then if android then if kindle then iab=IAB.new("amazon") iab:setProducts({adfree="adfree",orange="unlockorange",pink="unlockpink",yellow="unlockyellow"}) else iab=IAB.new("google") iab:setUp(googleLicence) iab:setProducts({adfree="adfree",orange="unlockorange",pink="unlockpink",yellow="unlockyellow"}) end elseif ios then iab=IAB.new("ios") iab:setProducts({adfree="adfree",orange="unlockorange",pink="unlockpink",yellow="unlockyellow"}) end   if iab then --iab:setConsumable("orange","pink","yellow") iab:addEventListener(Event.AVAILABLE,function(e)

SinisterSoft

Another example for socket:

pcall(function() require "socket" end) if socket then mime=require("mime.core") end

And json:

pcall(function() require "json" end) . . . tactics={} if json then local loop=1 while true do local filename="tactics/"..loop..".txt" if file_exists(filename) then local file=io.open(filename,"r") if file then local originaldata=file:read() if originaldata then local t=json.decode(originaldata) if t then

SinisterSoft

Here is an example of using pcall to send data to a server, just in case somehow the json messes up...

if not pcall(function()serverlink:callMethod("updatePositions",json.encode(playerData),json.encode(shared)) end) then print("Server can't send data: json incorrect!") end

Hi @hgy29
Some strange has happened... I saw the report crash in Android Studio

FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 181 Process: com.CompanyName.MyAppName, PID: 18691 com.giderosmobile.android.player.LuaException: SocialMedia/Achievements.lua:279: attempt to index field 'gaming' (a nil value)

I export.. assets only (two boxes checked) and the line 279 is a comment, I added more lines in White and the crash is in the same line (279)

I'm really baffled because I don't get out of this mistake

Any suggestion thanks

Pd. Only I want to Clarify something, I've tested with and without upgrade gradle

SinisterSoft

Here is an example of pcall calling a function that has a reply, but you need to know if the call to the function failed and if it didn't then you need to know the reply from the function:

local result,reply=pcall(Shader.new,shaderV,bloomF,Shader.FLAG_FROM_CODE,{ {name="vMatrix",type=Shader.CMATRIX,sys=Shader.SYS_WVP,vertex=true}, {name="fColor",type=Shader.CFLOAT4,sys=Shader.SYS_COLOR,vertex=false}, {name="fTexture",type=Shader.CTEXTURE,vertex=false}, }, {{name="vVertex",type=Shader.DFLOAT,mult=3,slot=0,offset=0}, {name="vColor",type=Shader.DUBYTE,mult=4,slot=1,offset=0}, {name="vTexCoord",type=Shader.DFLOAT,mult=2,slot=2,offset=0}, })   if result then bloomShader=reply else print("bloom shader error:",reply) end

SinisterSoft

@HubertRonald re that error, look at the line just after/before 279.

can you post a code snip, indicating the line number for each line.

SinisterSoft

Here is another pcall example to check if the new firebase plugin has been installedL

pcall(function() require "firebase" end) if firebase then print("firebase ok") else print("firebase not installed") end

Here is a check for flurry, I use a global called flurryId that I set at the start of my code with the ID that flurry give me for my game (the id is different per platform so I use the application:getDeviceInfo to check for the device and set the appropriate flurryId) :

if flurryId then pcall(function() require "flurry" end) if flurry ~=nil and flurry.isAvailable() then flurry.startSession(flurryId) end end

Here is a message routine to send to either/both of them that checks to see if they have been setup:

function message(mess,param) if firebase then if param==nil then firebase:analyticsEvent(mess) else firebase:analyticsEvent(mess,param) end end if flurry and flurry.isAvailable() then if param==nil then flurry.logEvent(mess) else flurry.logEvent(mess,param) end end end . . . message("Game launched")

HubertRonald

Hi @SinisterSoft thanks for your answer

I have tried as you indicate in your codes (I like them), but still the crashes in Android Studio are maintained.

Maybe there's something worth with my process from Gideros to Android Studio I'm new to this too.

I'll keep trying if I find the fault.

HubertRonald

@HubertRonald re that error, look at the line just after/before 279.

can you post a code snip, indicating the line number for each line.

ok

line 84: local Achievements = Core.class(EventDispatcher) : : line 87: function Achievements:init(player) line 88: line 89: self:deployGaming() : : line 271: pcall(function() require "gaming" end) line 272: function Achievements:deployGaming() line 273: --ini conditions line 274: if Gaming then line 275: line 276: self.gaming.isLoaded = false line 277: line 278: --print("googleplay GameServices") line 279: self.gameServices = Gaming.new("googleplay") --<<--- Here's where code crash line 280: : : line 362: return Achievements

totebo

It looks like you call deployGaming before you require gaming?

hgy29

It looks like your error

com.giderosmobile.android.player.LuaException: SocialMedia/Achievements.lua:279: attempt to index field 'gaming' (a nil value)

doesn't match your code, since there is no attempt to index 'gaming' here:

line 279: self.gameServices = Gaming.new("googleplay") --<<--- Here's where code crash

Are you sure the error you got wasn't from a previous version of your source code ?

HubertRonald

@Hi Tobedo

It's a Class Achievements.. it's like when create local math function (This is outside the class functions but it's available for each one of them)

local MyClass = Core.class(Sprite) local rand = math.random   function MyClass:inti() print(rand()) delployGame() print(rand()) end   function MyClass:deployGame() print(rand()) end   Return MyClass

or if you only need in deployGame

local MyClass = Core.class(Sprite)   function MyClass:inti() delployGame()   end   function MyClass:deployGame() local rand = math.random print(rand()) end   Return MyClass

But as I said before

Not only Gaming, but also other plugins... my problem inicial persistent

facebook: attempt to call method 'setAppId' (a nil value) -- no error with "pcall" and facebook is true Gaming: attempt to index field 'gaming' (a nil value) -- no error with "pcall" and Gaming is true flurry: index '__userdata' cannot be found -- no error with "pcall" and Gaming is true

So i don't know what be able to happen, well 'Ads', 'googlelicensing' and 'googleplay' don't crash, Although, I suppose this is because they should be tested in alpha or beta version in "google play console"

HubertRonald

It looks like your error

com.giderosmobile.android.player.LuaException: SocialMedia/Achievements.lua:279: attempt to index field 'gaming' (a nil value)

Are you sure the error you got wasn't from a previous version of your source code ?

Hi @hgy29
Yes! I modified the code with some suggestion of @SinisterSoft... so some line up and other down but the crash happened always in this line in the case Gaming
with facebook and flurry too in its same line.

so "attempt to index field 'gaming' (a nil value)"
maybe i'm trying to index a nil value, but in previous report you can see (Running-> print(Gaming): table: 0x936911ac) that is all there

Maybe there's something worth with my process from Gideros to Android Studio I'm new to this too.

Errors is not isolated with Gaming this also applies to facebook and flurry.

hgy29

Well, I don't know for flurry and Gaming (but I think @SinisterSoft can confirm it does work ok), but I use Facebook in my own app on both Android and iOS, with automatic plugin export, and everything works fine.

Oh, I just checked, there is no setAppId() function in facebook plugin!!!

SinisterSoft

It's possibly the line before with you not putting something like this in your code...

self.gaming={}

before you use

self.gaming.loaded=false

SinisterSoft

I just tried this on line 5 in my program:

gaming.loaded=true

The next line with code on it was line 7

The error was:

main.lua:7: attempt to index global 'gaming' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
main.lua:7: in main chunk

The error is that I didn't put

gaming={}

Before the

gaming.loaded=true

So that is the solution for you.

SinisterSoft

You need to create a table before you start using it in Lua, Lua isn't really object oriented and having a var.whatever is really just an entry in a table pointed to by var called whatever. So create the table and your problem should be gone.

HubertRonald

Hi @hgy29 and @SinisterSoft thanks for your tips I'm going home to try them

HubertRonald

Thanks guys! ( @hgy29 and @SinisterSoft) I got it!

@hgy29... How can I buy your "firebase" plugin?

Cheers

SinisterSoft

@HubertRonald - so what was the solution? Had you missed out defining the table?

HubertRonald

@HubertRonald - so what was the solution? Had you missed out defining the table?

Yes @SinisterSoft I forgot completely that

--------------------------------- sumamos.lua --| function sum(a,b) return a+b end --| it's sumamos module ---------------------------------   isAvailable, error = pcall(function() require 'sumamos' end)   -- isAvailable = True -- error=nil (nothing)   --So -- s={} s.x, s.y= 2 , 4 print(sum(s.x, s.y))<----- crash because I don't define first s={}

With respect Facebook plugin I use my own old class (2013) so currently there is no setAppId() as said @hgy29

Edit: still this method -setAppId()- is here for iOS though it's deprecated.

and flurry well I think use "firebase" plugin but first I wanted to be secure If I might export to android correctly
