#1

I have the following problem:
I build an app for android with Corona SDK 2012.938 and i can’t install the apk, i get the Application Not Installed Message, in three of Four devices.

I copy the file to the device via Bluetooth and Usb and set the Option Unknown Sources and even USB debugging and tested in:

Motorola Moto xt 389, Android Version 2.3.6: Not Installed Message
Samsung gt-i5500l, Android Version 2.2.2: Not Installed Message
Samsumg sgh-t499, Android Version 2.2.2:Not Installed Message

with the only one i didn’t get the message is with LG P990, Android Version: 2.3.6

Are you using adb to install them? Are you running adb logcat to look for installation errors that might give you a hint as to why its failing?

Have you enabled installation of third party software on the three devices that aren’t working? Have you tried installing other projects built with the same build of Corona? [import]uid: 181948 topic_id: 32678 reply_id: 129969[/import]

Motorola Moto xt 389
Samsung gt-i5500l
Samsumg sgh-t499

All 3 use ARMv6 processors. Corona doesn’t work with ARMv6 devices. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 32678 reply_id: 129999[/import]

Is that correct? How can I tell if I got an ARMv6 device…it’s an unlocked Chinese brand.

Wikipedia says ARM is used in 95% of smart phones! [import]uid: 183589 topic_id: 32678 reply_id: 130758[/import]

There are different ARM processors. ARMv6 architecture is the older kind and Corona doesn’t support it mostly because Corona code doesn’t run well on it. ARMv7 is newer and most smart phones out there have it.

As for how you can tell - you google the specs for the phone and try to figure out. For example, Motorola Moto xt 389:

http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_motoluxe_xt389-4848.php - says that the chipset is MediaTek MT6573

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a6573&c=mediatek_mt6573 - says that MediaTek MT6573’s instruction set is ARMv6

Thanks Mike. My phone is only about a year old and has the ARMv6. How many potential customers is that that we’re losing, I wonder.

I’m new to programming and was trying to make a book app, with a lot of text and get it to scroll. Another dev got native.newWebView() to work on his phone but the Corona simulator doesn’t like native.newWebView(), so you have to test it on the phone. Now I don’t have a phone to test it.

Is native.newWebView() Corona specific or is it a Lua syntax or a command? I’m gonna try Gideros, can I use native.newWebView() with it, it is also Lua based? Thanks for your help! [import]uid: 183589 topic_id: 32678 reply_id: 130820[/import]
