Android Build: device is not supported?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello
I’ve got my game on Android market and tried to install it on Samsung Galaxy Gio, Android 2.3.3. But Android Market says that due to some stuff in manifest my device is not supported.
Android Market says that screen must be SMALL NORMAL LARGE XLARGE, functions - android.hardware.touchscreen
android.hardware.screen.portrait
My build.settings:
settings =
{

android =
{
versionCode = “13”
},
orientation =
{
default = “portrait”,
supported =
{
“portrait”,
},

},

iphone =
{
plist =
{
CFBundleIconFile = “Icon.png”,
CFBundleIconFiles = {
“Icon.png”,
“Icon@2x.png”,
“Icon-72.png”,
},
},
},

androidPermissions =
{
“android.permission.INTERNET”,
“android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE”
},
}

File config.lua
application =
{
content =
{
width = 768,
height = 1024,
scale = “letterbox”
}
}
What should I change to launch my app on my Samsung Gio? [import]uid: 67485 topic_id: 17642 reply_id: 317642[/import]

Hey there,

I believe the Samsung Galaxy Gio is ARMv6 whereas Corona only builds for ARMv7.

In any case the message isn’t one I have seen before and I will bring it up with with someone more knowledge about Android builds and see what I can find out for you.

Oh, crap :frowning: Is it possible to get support of ARMv6 in the future? Because we’ve lots of customers’ feedbacks with similar issue - they like our game and stuff, but on similar phones they didn’t manage to run it. [import]uid: 67485 topic_id: 17642 reply_id: 67174[/import]

Hey again,

The whole ARMv6 thing has been discussed at length (if you do a search you will find some official posts by Carlos) and at the end of the day it came down to a choice between improving Android performance or poor performance while supporting lower end devices. Performance won out.

There is an old version of Corona that can build for these devices but the performance is not good and we provide zero support for it.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :frowning:

Ok, I’ve reviewed the forums and it looks like build 319 can be used to build for ARMv6. I’ve made a build, installed app on my phone and tried to laucn it. But unfortunately didn’t manage to launch - after launchiong only black screen. I’ve tried to remove all sounds and ads but still no luck. Does anyone tried to build with older versions?

Because it isn’t supported there’s no advice I can really give you - your build.settings might need looking at, or you might try a sample project, etc.

That’s all I can suggest.

Apologies,
