Well... I can't run anymore Monkey apps on my Desire HD (not my own, not the examples). I can install any apk but running it leads to an error log...

The main section looks like:

I'm lost here... It's not only on my device it's on another real devices as well.

I should add that I run Android V2.3.3 on a rooted device. I don't know if this makes a difference at all but it shouldn't as everything else runs fine.

Ok, it has something to do with the AndroidManifest.xml

I noticed the following:

With MonkeyPro38 everything works fine.

With MonkeyPro39c there are the new lines

	<uses-sdk 
		android:minSdkVersion="3"
		android:targetSdkVersion="7" />

Usually the application asks for special rights before installing. So for Monkey apps this was access to SD card for instance. With the lines above it doesn't ask for any special rights at all anymore.

But even without these lines I can't get it to work with MonkeyPro39c.

Some more log stuff, after removing these lines I don't get an exception anymore but this:

With Monkey v39(a,b,c) the minSDK was added and a change to the native java code (glbuffers).

Did you delete your build folder after updating to v39?

Hi,

    [apply] trouble processing:
    [apply] class name (com/hexbattles1942/bb_Init) does not match path (com/hexbattles1942/bb_init.class)
    [apply] ...while parsing com/hexbattles1942/bb_init.class
    [apply] ...while processing com/hexbattles1942/bb_init.class
    [apply] 1 warning

That looks way wrong!

Does that happen with the demos in bananas too?

Have you deletd .build dirs? If you don't want to lose the mainfest or something, try just copying MonkeyGame.java from targets/ into the .build dir.

Thanks, finally I tracked it down to the root cause which wasn't that easy. First: I always remove all build folders, all examples work fine. I did a clean, fresh MonkeyPro install as well.

So here's the cause. The problem pops up if you want to import a file with the name "init.monkey". Well I do all the initialization stuff there. This example will fail (actually it builds but you get that warning and the app will crash on the device):

test.monkey

Strict

Import mojo
Import init

Global testApp:Test

Function Main:Int()
  testApp = New Test()
  Return 0
End Function

Class Test Extends App
  Method OnCreate:Int()
    Initialize()
    SetUpdateRate(30)
    Return 0
  End Method

  Method OnUpdate:Int()
    Return 0
  End Method
  
  Method OnSuspend:Int()
    Return 0
  End Method
  
  Method OnResume:Int()
    Return 0
  End Method

  Method OnRender:Int()
    Return 0
  End Method

End Class

init.monkey

Strict

Function Initialize:Void()
  'Do something here...
End Function

It works if you replace (and rename)
Import init

with something like:
Import initializer

Phew... Strange? I know. ;) Must have something to do with the bb_init stuff? Is "init" somehow a reserved keyword?

Hi,

Oops! I know what that is, will fix!

HA! Have I found a secret? An easteregg? :)

DGuy	(Posted 2011) [#10]

I ran into a similar issue where the cause of the error was far from where it was being caught (via an exception handler) by Monkey.

Hopefully over time more of Monkeys' internals will get wrapped with exception handlers so problems get caught closer to their source ...
