Black screen problem

[Combokarel]

When i open the .apk i made with love-android-sdl2 using ant debug, I get a black screen.
The only (sort of) error I get is when I do ndk-build:

Android NDK: WARNING: APP_PLATFORM android-19 is larger than android:minSdkVersion 10 in ./AndroidManifest.xml

Any help is appreciated!

Do you get a blackscreen when you open the apk or do you get a blackscreen when you install the apk and start the game?

If you get it when you open the apk:

• Have you allowed to install from unknown sources?

  Android 2.x: Go to Settings > Applications > tick “Unknown sources“
  Android 4.x: Go to Settings > Security > tick “Unknown sources“

• If you use jdk 8: Install jdk 7. Jdk 8 doesn't work.
• Have you changed the package name of your game (org.love2d.android)? If not, you have to uninstall "LÖVE for Android" first.

If you get the blackscreen when you start the game:

• I don't know.

If it did't help, could you maybe give us the apk?

The warning

Android NDK: WARNING: APP_PLATFORM android-19 is larger than android:minSdkVersion 10 in ./AndroidManifest.xml

can be ignored.

Here are some questions that should be helpful for troubleshooting:

1. Do you use the latest version of love-android-sdl2?
2. Does the latest .apk that is available from https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love- ... /downloads give you the no-game screen?
3. Does your .apk include a game? If so, can you remove it and do you get the no-game screen?
4. Is there maybe a game in the folder /sdcard/lovegame?
5. Also if you want to include a game: does it work if you extract it to /sdcard/lovegame?
6. Also if you want to include a game: have you performed and checked all instructions https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love- ... _Packaging?
7. Did you wait long enough? It may take some time depending on your device and size of the game to properly load it (i.e. 10-20 seconds).
8. Have you tried running "ndk-build clean" before running "ndk-build"?
9. Have you tried rebuilding from scratch, i.e. delete everything love-android-sdl2 related and start anew?

Well I tried a lot of things and now I have a new problem: after a couple of seconds of blackscreen it says: "Löve for android has stopped working"

[Combokarel]

Well know I can't make the apk anymore It's getting worse!

Can you try the things I listed in my previous post? At which point does it not work anymore?

[Combokarel]

Sorry for the late response, I have tried everything above and nothing helped, when I installed everything again, ndk-build doesn't start and ant debug doesn't make files.

So you're saying that step 2 of

is not working?

Note: it is really tricky to give advice if it is unclear at what point things stop working.

[Combokarel]

No, step 2 is working.

Well... how about step 3?
