I think that what you call the "apps folder" is probably the best option. I believe this is what's called an app's "data" by Android, and will be removed if you remove the app, which is preferable, SD-card also has problems with phones that don't have them (although some of them have data partitions called "/sdcard" anyway). Also, if you store it in the app data, it will probably be stored on the SD card anyway with Android's native App2SD functionality which all games should use.Moe wrote:I have not yet made any tests with that one. There are only two possibilities: Store the data in the apps folder or on SD-card (or any other external device). All other storage places will require a rooted device. Besides that we should be able to support the full Love-filesystem-API.
I've got pretty far into making what I seriously think is a great game for Android that I'd love to be able to test on an actual device and sell some day And I have almost bought an android-based tabletT-Bone wrote:There hasn't been much activity here on the forums lately.

So take the native port, test your game, and make bug reports.T-Bone wrote:There hasn't been much activity here on the forums lately. Please just tell me the project isn't dead
I didn't know the native port was ready enough for that. I will totally do! Are there any instructions for how to do that? I know I need Eclipse with the Android SDK as well as love-android's source code, but how do I do the import? What should I change to get it to run my game?Moe wrote:So take the native port, test your game, and make bug reports.T-Bone wrote:There hasn't been much activity here on the forums lately.

Coincidental, I will also start a new job soon, and that was a time killer, too. Hopefully I will have more time for the port in the next weeks, too.

Thanks a lot, will try first thing tomorrow. I will try both in emulator and on my good ol' HTC Desire.Moe wrote:The SDK is not enough, you will also need the NDK. So get it and install it (your error message complains, that a library is missing - and it is only compiled if the NDK is available).
But before you can compile, you have to change the game file. Open jni/love.cpp and search forChange the file name and path to the location of your file.Code: Select all
argv[1] = new char[strlen("/mnt/sdcard/love/no.love")+1]; strcpy(argv[1], "/mnt/sdcard/love/no.love");
Open "Project"->"Properties"->"Builders", select "ndk-build" and click "Edit...". Change the path at "Location:" to the place of the NDK's script "ndk-build". Save the settings and launch the application. It might take a while, the NDK will compile a large set of libraries
If you have a real Android device somewhere around, you should use it. It is much more fun than the emulator
Love your work guys!
