Unable to get my game to run on Android.

Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Unable to get my game to run on Android.

Hey I'm trying to test my game on my Android device. It will compile correctly and install on my device but when I try to open it, it just crashes. Any idea why that might happen? I'm not sure if it's some code I'm using or what. Also is there a way I can make it so it'll print out an error? So I know what is happening to make it crash.

You can use ddms.bat in the android-sdk/tools folder. Which Monkey version are you using?

Any hint of what should i try? =(

Delete your build folder?

pantson (Posted 2013) [#6]

download v67e and test There is a fix for device dimensions initializing to 0 for Android in v67c. This was making my game crash, as I was doing some scaling stuff (and everything was dividing by 0)

Now it works on Simulator but does not seems to works on Real Device. It keeps me showing : 02-18 20:47:14.215: E/AudioCache(1361): Heap size overflow! req size: 1056768, max size: 1048576 02-18 20:47:14.255: E/AudioCache(1361): Heap size overflow! req size: 1056768, max size: 1048576 Maybe this is causing the problem?

It is really a sound problem... Disabled all my sounds/music and now the game is working! Any idea of how to fix it?

DeadFall (Posted 2013) [#10]

Hey thanks for the responses, I was able to fix my problem by removing some images I was loading at start. They were all larger than 1024x1024 which is why the game was crashing. (Was developing my game for ios Retina display first)

E/AudioCache( 1361): Heap size overflow! req size: 1056768, max size: 1048576 how big are your music/audio files?

Earok (Posted 2013) [#12]

I had this problem myself. It appears to be a general Android issue, apparently it doesn't like sound files that are bigger than 1mb.

MikeHart (Posted 2013) [#13]

In Monkeys documentation, it is stated that Android sound files should not be bigger than 1 MB.

Earok (Posted 2013) [#14]

Ah, I missed that somehow! I'll try using the Music commands, cheers :)
