Minie for Androids

I upgraded the NDK to v21.3.6528147 and the Gradle plugin to v4.1.1 without difficulty.

I’m still working to specify minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion.
Edit: got them working! I’ll cut another test release ASAP.

Thank you Stephen :slightly_smiling_face:, I have a little question though , Does JmE dependencies work on Gradle 4.1.1 ?

EDIT : i have found this part when i have looked into the EVENT Log (i donot know why i didnot do that before :smile:) :

8:15 AM	Failed to commit install session 1556183842 with command cmd package install-commit 1556183842. Error: INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-2

, then it gives this error , :

8:15 AM	Error
				Installation did not succeed.
				The application could not be installed: INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK
				Retry

8:15 AM	Session 'app': Installation did not succeed.
				The application could not be installed: INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK
				Retry

Sorry, I don’t know the meaning/cause of those errors.

I do know that Gradle (v6.7) and the Android Gradle plugin (v4.1.1) are 2 different things.

Please give Minie v3.1.0-test2 a try…

This did not work too , seemingly , the versions are excluded , EDIT : I mean it seems that NDK version was not the problem

I have checked that before ,but I will take a look again at instant Run :slightly_smiling_face:

106

Please elaborate. What did you do, what did you expect, and what actually happened?

I did like what you have said to me

& Gave that a try for android minSDKVersion 23 & got the same problem

I expect that there’s something with the underlying code ,but I donot know , I havenot worked before with Android NDK

108

If you haven’t already, please do “Build → Clean Project” then “Build → Rebuild Project” then “Sync project with Gradle file”.

Hi guys!

is there any progress on this? If not, I may have the time to try helping you getting minie working on android or at least testing it. I’m really interested

As far as I know, the status hasn’t changed. Minie was working on Android back in April, at least for some people. But as far as I know, @Pavl_G never got v3.0.0 working on a physical device.

I’d sure appreciate a few more data points.

Hi @sgold , Minie3.0.0 works fine on android , my complaint was something lies around the MinSDK which I cannot rise above android 5.1 , & what’s the importance of Minimum SDK , it’s only for publishing purposes & restricting Android devices that use your app ! , Using MinSDK above android 5.1 or API 22 , I get invalid apk when installing debug app .

Edit : this game was Minie v3 minSDk 22

PS : if you will build a combined app that uses android APIs & jme , you will need the MinSDK because some APIs are tied to some android versions while jme is not ! ,Unless you use a specific version for openGL ES

@Pavl_G have you tried forcing android:extractNativeLibs=“true” in your application tag in the manifest when compiling setting API level over 22? This should do the trick

@sgold This is great news! I’ve been out of jme community for a while, so I didn’t know it already worked
