Torque 2D for Android Ready
by Michael Perry · in Torque 2D Beginner · 10/28/2013 (11:47 am) · 122 replies
Android port is ready for testing. If you pull latest from the development branch, you can start using it. I don't have the time to write a formal blog yet, so spread the word. Feel free to start posting bug reports based on your own Android testing.

Have you tried something like this: git checkout origin/development

When building with Visual Studio 2010, I get errors about missing files

And at the bottom of the right sidebar is a button "Download Zip". That will give you a local copy of the development branch to compile and test with.
Also, we have a guide for Android development. Any feedback on that too would be appreciated.

'engine/compilers/VisualStudio 2010/Torque 2D.vcxproj'
this may cause issues on Unix
10/28/2013 (1:47 pm)
Also, a suggestion, if you could rename the files, so that they don't have spaces in it , like'engine/compilers/VisualStudio 2010/Torque 2D.vcxproj'

Not seeing this on my end. Have you performed a full clean and rebuild?

originally I did a clone of the master. Since I want to modify the source for my own needs, I checked this version into a SVN repo.
Now I did a switch to git branch development but apparently these are new files that must be added to my SVN repo

ah, sorry for the confusion... let me explain my setuporiginally I did a clone of the master. Since I want to modify the source for my own needs, I checked this version into a SVN repo.

fyi, these files are in the zip obtained in the #4 link above

Namespace:unlinkClass : reference count to parent is less than 0
This is a message box that shows up , Visual Studio does not show a code stack to the source file that triggered the assertion, only this part

this happens with the zip downloaded from the development branch

As far as I am aware, the assert fix is correct - it has simply uncovered a bug with the linking or unlinking of classes. Any help in supplying a fix to this new issue would be appreciated.
If you build in release mode instead of debug, then this assert does not show up.
10/28/2013 (11:55 pm)
The namespace assert is a result of this fix:github.com/GarageGames/Torque2D/pull/126/files

Also if you want to stay up to date, I would recommend working out of git instead of svn, it will save you a lot of issues and time. you can create your own branch based on development, then update development and have git merge it into your branch. Then instead of having to merge it all yourself, you can only fix conflicts. Bitbucket offers free private repos for 4 users if you dont want to set up a git server yourself. Git is a pain to learn but can be very useful in someways over svn once you learn it.
My workflow is to change my local git repo to point to my private bitbucket while im working, then if I want to update to latest development code in the GG repo, I just set origin to the GG repo, pull down the changes, then reset origin back to bitbucket. Then from there i update my branch by merging in the development branch.
Here are some commands to help out if you want to try it
//create a branch based on development from GG repo
git checkout -b mybranch origin/development
//see where origin is pointing
git remote -v
//change origin
git remote set-url origin http://repolocation

I have fixed the unlink class bug this morning that was causing the assert. It is now commited if you want to pull down again.Also if you want to stay up to date, I would recommend working out of git instead of svn, it will save you a lot of issues and time. you can create your own branch based on development, then update development and have git merge it into your branch.

I tried to run T2D on an actual Android phone (Galaxy y) it did not work, I get the following error:
Maybe it's because the phone's system is android 2.3.5 and I couldn't figure out how to change the minimum deployment target, I don't know, maybe someone can shed a light on this, it's my first time to deal with Android.
Then I tried the emulator, also with no luck, the emulator launches but I don't see my app.
I followed the steps of the Android-Development-Guide in post #4 exactly.
[edit] during compile process there were over 48 warnings.

Tim did all the work. Thanks to him for all the coding effort. Now it's up to everyone in the community to test it.

The project is setup for armeabi-v7a ABI only. you can change it in Application.mk file by removing the -v7a off the line that defines the ABI but the openalsoft and freetype libs will need to be recompiled for armeabi as well. I'll check and see if I included the source for openal soft (incase anyone wants to venture into MIPS or X86 later), I know I did for freetype. Ill compile armeabi version of the libs for you though when I get a chance and upload them. Using armeabi will add support for older devices like yours, I set it up for armeabi-v7a so it would be optimized for newer devices which most people will have now.
10/29/2013 (2:27 pm)
Android emulators are terrible and I do not think they work with NDK. Well they are terrible in general compared to the iOS simulator. As for your device issue, 2.3.5 is near the lowest version of android supported. API8 I think is bare minimum but API9 might be (I have 9 set in the manifest I believe) Your CPU is an older one is why you get the ABI error.

I removed the -v7a, now the app works and loads the splash screen and that's it .. nothing happens despite the fact that my code just creates a sceneWindow and then it creates a scene and clears it then I create an image sprite like so:

function Game::create( %this )
{
// Load scripts.

exec("^game/scripts/scene.cs");
// create scene window
createSceneWindow();
// create scene
createScene();
mySceneWindow.setScene(myScene);
setRandomSeed(getRealTime());
myScene.clear();
// enable mouse touch and mouse clicks
mySceneWindow.setUseWindowInputEvents(true);
mySceneWindow.setUseObjectInputEvents(true);
%clone = new sprite();
%clone.setImage("game:arrowBox");
%clone.setSize(5,5);
%clone.setPosition(0,0);
myScene.add(%clone);

I did a clone of this branch originally for my project
git clone https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque2D.git torque2d
how I can pull the development branch ?
I did
git branch development
git checkout development
but it seems that are no changes in the files... I say this because I have a SVN repository in the same path, and SVN detects no changes as source files are concerned
