Making an apk

[CanadianGamer]

I've recently updated to love version 0.10.0 and was wondering how to make apks and or whatever it is IOS uses. or does it just use the love2D app?

[bobbyjones]

You can find ibstructions here hopefully the docs are still being worked on. Also see the wiki on how to run .loves or your game folder. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=76985

is this compatible with the new version of love (0.10.0) and it's touch screen modules?

[bobbyjones]

Yes, I believe so. The wiki links to it and that port was merged in.

[CanadianGamer]

can you please also tell me how to use the love2d android framework app?
Could you also point me towards a tutorial or something to get started with love2D mobile development

[bobbyjones]

I'm sorry mobile is fairly new so there isn't any tutorials yet. You would have to do everything using the docs from the wiki and the forum.

The LÖVE android app tries to load files from sdcard/lovegame - if this folder or a main.lua file doesn't exist, it will default to the no game screen.

The files in the lovegame folder should be your uncompressed game (so main.lua, etc...).

[bobbyjones]

Oh you said Android. I thought you meant iOS. But yeah you can run .loves directly and or do what OttoRobba said. Although I personally think there has to be a better more effective way to do this. I might try coding something up. But my idea is to use luasocket to connect your desktop to your phone so that all you have to do is press run on desktop and it will run on your Android device as long as the app is running. Ive thought of this before and something came up making me think it was even more inefficient.

How would you build an apk though?
Yesterday I ported one of my games to android to see how it works and it is now functional.
how would I make it into an apk?
