Installing .apk files?

Disclaimer:
I have no experience developing for the android. But I can't find the answer to this anywhere here...

I'm on Arch Linux and have successfully installed and build love-android-sdl2.
I cannot find instructions on how to install the .apk, though. I'm assuming the default .apk (when no game is added) is just the no-game-screen?

I have tried installing the project using

Code: Select all

./adb install ~/Path/To/love_android_sdl2-debug.apk

This gives me an icon in the emulator (Settings for the emulator: Android 3.1 (API level 12), WXGA, SD-Card 20M) but when I start the app, I get:
"Could not create window
Could not create GLES window surface".

I tried to install sienna in the same way, no luck. This one just gives me a short flash of black and then it's back to the current screen.

The emulator doesn't do GLES, so that's why you can't test it in there.

Right... weird though, there was a folder with "API Samples/GLES" or similar, and those worked.

Anyway, then I'll have to get my hands on a real phone one of these days...

Maybe it does support GLESv1.1 but not GLESv2.

I believe newer versions of the emulator support OpenGL ES 2, but it still might be buggy enough to not work properly.
