View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Game Engine Deployment Strategy For Phone?
Apr 15, 2010In college, my senior project was to create a simple 2D game engine complete with a scripting language which compiled to bytecode, which was interpreted. For fun, I'd like to port the engine to android. I'm new to android development, so I'm not sure which way to go as far as deploying the engine on the phone. The easiest way I suppose would be to require the engine/interpreter to be bundled with every game that uses it. This solves any versioning issues. There are two problems with this. One: this makes each game app larger and two: I originally released the engine under the LGPL license (unfortunately), but this deployment strategy makes it difficult to conform to the rules of that license, particularly with respect to allowing users to replace the lib easily with another version. So, my other option is to somehow have the engine stand alone as an Activity or service that somehow responds to intents raised by game apps, and somehow give the engine app permissions to read the scripts and other assets to "run" the game. The user could then be able to replace the engine app with a different version (possibly one they made themselves). Is this even possible? What would you recommend? How could I handle it in a secure way?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: PNG Optimization On Packaging Process
Oct 28, 2009I've noticed that the PNGs of my application with some gradients effects looked terribly bad at the device (a Samsung Galaxy) and at the emulator, and I've found the following note at the documentation (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d- graphics.html):
Image resources placed in res/drawable/ may be automatically optimized with lossless image compression by the aapt tool. For example, a true-color PNG that does not require more than 256 colors may be converted to an 8-bit PNG with a color palette. This will result in an image of equal quality but which requires less memory. So be aware that the image binaries placed in this directory can change during the build. If you plan on reading an image as a bit stream in order to convert it to a bitmap, put your images in the res/raw/ folder instead, where they will not be optimized."
I've tried the res/raw suggestion, but it didn't worked.
I've tried to use the image as JPEG as a workaround, but I couldn't use 9-patch.
I've uploaded a comparison between the original png and the "optimized" png that is shown on the emulator or devices: [url]
One workaround would be put the images at /assets/ and manually load and set the image on the ImageViews, but it requires a lot of code changes.
Android :: Res PNG Filesize Inflated Upon Packaging?
May 3, 2009I've got ~200 png files in the /res/drawable folder, mostly interface and sprite sheet stuff. They're all indexed pngs, and weigh in at a grand total of a bit over 400kb.
When I run aapt to package them into the apk, their filesize nearly doubles. Opening the apk up with 7zip and extracting the drawables confirms it: 790kb.
Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening? I thought the packaging process was meant to compress the pngs, not inflate them!
Android :: Packaging Hidden Asset Files
Jun 9, 2010I'm placing the file '.nomedia' into a folder in order to avoid Android's MediaScanner from detecting the media files in the folder. I need to copy this folder (including '.nomedia') from the APK's assets to the SD card (so other apps can make use of these media files, etc.). When I package the APK in Eclipse, it doesn't package the '.nomedia' file. Presumably it's detecting it as a hidden file. Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a secret aapt flag I can use? I'd like to avoid copying the folder and then manually creating a '.nomedia' folder, if possible.

Aug 21, 2009In Windows, we write "installer script", and user an "installer compiler" to generate an installer, let's say .inf for .msi/.cab and .nsi for NSIS.

Android :: Packaging Multiple Items In An APK Or Widgets?
Apr 12, 2010If I create an application for Android, how do you package extra items in with it like a live wallpaper or widgets? For example, google maps does this by including a live wallpaper with the download of the latest version.
On a related note, with google maps, it's available for, I believe, 1.6 and up, but it seems that it is all the same download. So how do you ensure that, even though there may be a 2.x only feature included, it still shows up for lower OS phones? Or is the marketplace maybe actually holding onto two separate APKs for each OS?
Android :: Eclipse Error Packaging With Unknown Location
May 19, 2010I am getting an error in my Problems tab for my Android Project in Eclipse. The error is "Android Packaging Problem" with an Unknown location. Unknown Error NullPointerException
I cannot determine what this problem is. My project was working a few hours ago. The only change I made was to add a public interface ITrackDao to my project and implement it. There are no errors associated with this. I am not even sure where to begin to look. I cannot launch the application.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAIR Packaging APK With Native Libs?
Nov 1, 2011My team is currently trying to package a native .so library within an AIR APK. This native library is used by a native extension we've built, but the library is not the extension itself, therefore the standard process of creating an AIR APK with an extension does not include these libraries. We have to, somehow, instruct AIR to include the native libs in the packaging process.
The real headache is that for Android to link to these libraries, it appears that they must sit in the following directories (we have 2 .so files):
/lib
/armeabi
mynativelib.so
/armeabi-v7a
mynativelib.so
When using ADT we can include the /lib directory in the APK, but AIR sticks the /lib directory in the APK's /assets directory with the rest of the AIR files....but this does not work because Android does not appear to find the native libs.
how we can get this lib directory sitting at the root of the APK?

Android :: Database - XML Or SQLite?
Mar 25, 2010I'm doing a application that will use a database with serialized object. The objects will be already serialized and the user will just display things.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Use Own Sqlite Database?
Mar 5, 2010I put my database field in "assets" folder. And use the code from this blog to copy the database to "/data/data/my_packname/databases/", (This copy code i run it in the onCreate() method when i run this app) then use select * from ... to get data. But it gives me the exception: no such table. Someone told me that if i am attempting to copy the file in SQLiteOpenHelper's onCreate(), it's too late. So the copy file code can not copy the complete file. So i need to use adb or ddms to pull the database first? So, Anyone can teach me how to use my own databse?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: SQLite Using The SQLiteOpenHelper
Jun 9, 2010I have a SQLite database, and several tables within that datbase. I am developing a DBAdapter for each table within the database. (reference Reto Meier's Professional Android 2 Application Development, Listing 7.1).
I am using the adb shell to interface with the database from the command line and see that the database is being populated as I expect. Occasionally, I want to drop a table so that I can ensure it's being built properly, from scratch.
The problem is that SQLiteOpenHelper only checks to see if the database exists. Is there a typical solution to writing a helper to also see that the table(s) exists? Basically once I drop a table, the helper checks to see that the database exists and assumes all is well.
Also, the CREATE_DATABASE string used in the reference above only creates the one table. Should I consider using the DBAdapter for an adapter to ALL of my tables? That doesn't seem as clean to me.
Android :: SQLite And ListViews?
Nov 18, 2009Firstly, I have found many examples of how to grab data from a db and place it into a list, however this seems to be all for ListActivites.
My list is part of the UI and therefore I can't use a ListActivity because it does not consume the whole screen (or can I?).
This is the UI:
CODE:........
So, from what ive read I need to grab the data from the db, then place it into some sort of array then use an array adapter to fill the list view. Is that correct? If so, is there some sample code because all I can find is code releated to ListActivites.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Implement - Undo For SQLite DB Changes
Nov 1, 2010I am trying to adapt my application from a confirmation model to an undo model. For those of you who don't know, this is where you can delete something with one click but if it was a mistake you can undo it just as easily, as opposed to interrupting the user every time he/she wants to do something to ask the annoying "Are you sure you want to...?" question via dialog.
My app is backed by the Android SQLite DB and I want to be able to undo a limited set of delete and update operations. Also, I only need to be able to undo one sequential change and the information does not have to stick arround for very long.
Everything I read on undo/redo says to use a command model to store the data. My question is how can I store the database changes in a lightweight restorable way?
