/cry I really need some help using the simulator to run

Troubleshooting android
1

Because of 2 other previous failed attempts to get anything setup for Android properly, I have been putting this off.

Here is what I have:

Android SDK + tools… check
Adroid support… check
Followed instruction from the docs… check
Created AVD… check (I think as simulator starts but does nothing… sometimes… rarely… shows a sparkly Android logo)
Ran adb -install [target apk]… check (but this fails to see the simulator, as I don’t think the simulator is running properly).

Ok… that’s my issue with using the sim, now… for a more direct approach, I followed the instructions for testing directly on a device:

Connect my ieee transformer to PC… check (make note of the device… is it supported?? Android version is 4.0.3… I have tried using multiple target versions for the app including this specifically)
Compile on run… check (sort of… because this hangs when it gets to… Waiting on device, etc, etc)

HELP!!

tbh, i never got anything to work in the simulator…
once you achieve to install something it just fail because of the crappy opengl2 support…and when it runs…it’s so slow you can barely test anything…you’d better test directly on your device.

Any idea if my device is supported in this capacity? It hangs on compile when it gets to:

Waiting for device to be ready… Connect your device now if its not connected yet.

EDIT: Ooops… so you don’t have to go looking for it: asus ieee transformer

I have the same device and I have no issue.

make sure you activated developer mode AND debug mode on the device.
Then you need specific drivers for dev mode, you should be able to grab them on asus site look for “asus eee pad transformer usb drivers” I guess it should match

And this would be what I forgot to do! I’ll go try this with 99.9% confidence that it is the issue! Thanks :wink:

Hmmm… doesn’t look like I can close topics anymore.

You could also try one of these alternative emulators:

Last week I tried to get a jMonkeyEngine app running in an emulator. And finally Genymotion did it =D

I just created an empty example project as described in the jMonkeyEngine Android tutorial.
As Genymotion does not execute ARM code, it requires the x86 library.
The wizard does not copy it automatically, so I had to copy
[java]
$JME_HOME/opt/native-bullet/jME3-bullet-natives-android.jar!x86
[/java]
to
[java]
<MY_PROJECT>/mobile/libs
[/java]

And build as usual.

That’s it. :mrgreen:

Other jME examples from the play store do not run: Open GL error
BlueStacks can’t even run my project: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid float: “1.0.17”
