Debug Information

Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Debug Information

Hi all,

just tried building a game on Android for the first time and while it builds and deploys to my phone, running the game causes it to hang and/or "close unexpectedly".

I've tried it on a HTC Desire and a HTC One X and get the same.

I've tried running Samah's virtual stick code and it's fine.

This makes me think it's something I am doing, but because I'm getting no feedback, I'm not sure where to look. Is there anyway I can get this information? (I am building as debug)

Ta :D

Looks very similar to this: http://monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=2992

but the solution for Gerry didn't work for me.

Am using Monkey 58.

Ok the answer is to run..

c:\android-sdk\tools\ddms.bat


Run the app on your emulator/phone and then select the game process in the Dalvik Debug Monitor.

I appear to be causing a memory leak somewhere :S

yup DDMS for the win.

This is where Print() statements will show up, and you can add a filter with "monkey*", although sometimes the verbose messaging can be useful.
