Android and iOS ports available for testing

[ChronicRat]

As i remember that task was in my practice a year ago. It was part of an engine of one software company which hired me to outsourcing. I forgot everything, but it was pretty simple. Or it was not OpenAL? =) I need to learn all stuff from the very begining...

Yes, i even found MK from it:

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := openal
LOCAL_SRC_FILES :=             \
        OpenAL32/alAuxEffectSlot.c \
        OpenAL32/alBuffer.c        \
        OpenAL32/alDatabuffer.c    \
        OpenAL32/alEffect.c        \
        OpenAL32/alError.c         \
        OpenAL32/alExtension.c     \
        OpenAL32/alFilter.c        \
        OpenAL32/alListener.c      \
        OpenAL32/alSource.c        \
        OpenAL32/alState.c         \
        OpenAL32/alThunk.c         \
        Alc/ALc.c                  \

        Alc/android.c              \
        Alc/bs2b.c                 \
        Alc/null.c
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include $(LOCAL_PATH)/OpenAL32/Include
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include/AL
LOCAL_CFLAGS := -DAL_BUILD_LIBRARY -DAL_ALEXT_PROTOTYPES
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog -Wl,-s
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

[ChronicRat]

Yep, building of latest OpenAL from repo is not so simple. At the current moment i'm stuck with two things: 1) tons of multiple definitions, 2) i don't know why am i doing it. =)

sfml-activity.so and all others are in APK file, but error on start:

Code: [Select]

Make sure you've got the proper module name set for the native ability. Right now it's still looking for "sfml-activity" rather than whatever you've defined.

[ChronicRat]

I'm not sure about build.gradle, no, i'm sure that my build.gradle is incorrect. Google changed project's structure in Android Studio again! So, this question is not for this topic, it's for Google. Is there full AS documentation anywhere?

[ChronicRat]

Well, in Eclipse all builds perfectly. Another question, how to buld SFMLES with gnustl_static?
And second question, if i build my engine part as shared library, what is right way to call "loadLibrary" for it from game's shared object?

Program built, apk contains all libs and meta-info, on start crash with this output. What can this be? Now i'll try to build all my code  with debug enabled.

[ChronicRat]

In deubg build SFMLES eglCheckError is undefined reference.

[Laurent]

In deubg build SFMLES eglCheckError is undefined reference.

It shouldn't. Make a clean build to be sure

[ChronicRat]

Well, may be, i'm mixing with SFML and SFMLES, so i can't be sure absolutly. sf::String, for example, i copied from main branch.

[Mario]

You shouldn't have to do any modifications on your own, just grab the ios_and_android branch off SFML's main repostiory on GitHub. You might just have to skip SFML audio for now.

Getting familiar with the compilation process of native Android application isn’t an easy task so, don’t give up and read carefully the NDK documentation. Maybe you should start with compiling an official example such as NativeActivty located in your NDK. You’ll need to get through this because you won’t be able to reuse this CMake toolchain script to compile your own application (unless your application is a library ).

Since I don't have the time, to search and teach me all the things around Android and NDK and yet, still would like to test the Android port, is there an easy and at best step by step guide for this?

There was some trouble with String. I'll check now, where i went wrong.

[ChronicRat]

Here it is:

error: 'class sf::String' has no member named 'toUtf8'

[Nexus]

sf::String::toUtf8() was added after SFML 2.1, and it seems not to be part of the ios_and_android branch yet.
