Android App Constantly Crashing On Launch

Solar2D Android
#1

Hi,

I have been developing an app for the iPhone using Corona and that has gone well, so i decided to see if i could port the app over to Android aswell, but after installing the app onto my android device, after it is installed and i try to launch it, i just constantly get this error message,

The application has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I have got the logs from the device, but they mean nothing to me. Please could someone check the logs out and see if there is an obvious problem.

The log states that there was a link error. Did you edit the APK via apktool? Because it sounds like something was removed from the APK that the Corona app needs. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 18213 reply_id: 69599[/import]

Hi Joshua

Im not sure what apktool is. I haven’t edited anything. All I have done is built the app using corona and then installed it onto my android device.

Do you know what is missing and if I could fix it? [import]uid: 86474 topic_id: 18213 reply_id: 69602[/import]

Hi Phil,

Can you please tell me the following:

  • What build number of the Corona SDK are you using?
  • What is the make and model of your Android device?

Thanks! [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 18213 reply_id: 69604[/import]

#5

Hi Joshua,

Corona Build, Version 2011.695 (2011.8.2)

Device, HTC Wildfire S

Hope this helps

My girlfriend has the same phone, it won’t work with Corona apps as it has an ARMv6 processor.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I’ll have to stick this phone on eBay.

Can anyone recommend a low cost arm7 android device which will be good for app testing? [import]uid: 86474 topic_id: 18213 reply_id: 69729[/import]
