Hello there

I work with MacOSX (10.6), and want to use SDL on my Android phone (v1.6).
I use NDK and ndk-build to build the binary.
I downloaded the demo project android-project.zip
I can easily compile and send the program to the emulator or the device,
but it just launch and exit immediatly.

Here is the adb logcat:

I didn't edited anything in the original source code, just did "ndk-build", and then imported using Eclipse like explained in README.android:

“Once you've copied the SDL android project and customized it, you can create an Eclipse project from it:
* File -> New -> Other
* Select the Android -> Android Project wizard and click Next
* Enter the name you'd like your project to have
* Select "Create project from existing source" and browse for your project directory
* Make sure the Build Target is set to Android 1.6
* Click Finish”


I can't understand, can you help me please? (Emulator is default android 1.6)


Thank you all

I just updated the Eclipse plugins, the Android tools, the API SDKs, NDK to r5b, removed all my old virtual machines and created a new Android 2.1 virtual machine with 64 MB SDcard and otherwise default settings.

The I updated the demo project with the latest SDL and ran the following steps while the new emulator was running:
ndk-build
ant install
sh data.sh      <-- important!

I then ran the SDL application on the emulator and blasted some aliens. :)

Here's the demo project with the latest SDL:

See ya!

just working on trying to finish a pure android game right now!



is this SDL only going to run 2.2 above?

It actually supports 1.6 and above, but the OpenGL ES 2 renderer requires 2.1.

Hi,

Note that r5b apparently hangs on pre 2.2 phones.  r4b is the one I've seen used with the other SDL port.  But they are fairly different sdks.

cya,
