I just picked up an ASUS Tablet (The Transformer) that’s running Android 3.0 and I can’t get my game to launch. Loading screen comes up and then it crashes out. The game works fine on an EVO and Droid.
Before I started trouble-shooting it I downloaded Float and Blast Monkeys and saw they both crashed the same way.
Anyone else having success running apps on the new 3.0 tablets? [import]uid: 51498 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 312231[/import]
Will bring this up in our next meeting. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44566[/import]
Wait what? Blast Monkeys should work on tablets now.
This is with the latest version I’m assuming? The problem we were having before was that system.getInfo( “deviceID” ) returns nil on tablets since they don’t have IMEI numbers. (We need system.getInfo( “androidID” ) btw…)
Anyway I fixed this problem and have Blast Monkeys running on my Acer A500 and I’ve seen it working on the xoom. So I’m surprised to see this post.

Mid-June is when I did my tests with Float and Blast (I got the ASUS for Fathers Day…) I haven’t tried those two games again since then, but the latest build of Tilt-a-Bowl (my game) that works on Droids and Evo fails on the ASUS.
I will run the tests again on Float and Blast downloading the latest versions from the Market Place and post back here.

Okay cool, the update I made on the 23rd of June should have fixed that. please let me know if it’s still broken. Thanks.

I will check it out, also I will try using
[blockcode]system.getInfo(“androidID”)[/blockcode]
and see if that fixes my issue as well…
Thanks! [import]uid: 51498 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44587[/import]
To my knowledge there is no system.getInfo(“androidID”) yet. 
-Angelo [import]uid: 12822 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44588[/import]
Verified that Blast Monkey DOES work on the ASUS Transformer. So this looks like the trick.
Thanks again. [import]uid: 51498 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44590[/import]
here try this out for now, it just generates an ID for tablet users and stores it locally~ it’s not the best solution because if they uninstall/reinstall tablets get new ids but it works for some purposes:
local UserID = system.getInfo( "deviceID" )
if not UserID then
local path = system.pathForFile( "UserID.txt", system.DocumentsDirectory )
local fileHandle = io.open( path, "r" )
if fileHandle then
UserID = fileHandle:read( "\*a" )
io.close( fileHandle )
end
if not UserID then
UserID = (require("crypto")).hmac(crypto.sha1,tostring(os.time())..math.random(10000,99999)..tostring({}),"keyyyy",false)
fileHandle = io.open( path, "w" )
if fileHandle then
fileHandle:write( UserID )
io.close( fileHandle )
end
end
end I hope it helps.

Okay, both Float and Blast Monkeys are working in their latest versions. (In fact, the release notes for Float Free say they’ve fixed Honeycomb and Gingerbread issues recently.)
But, I’m still not having any luck. I’m not pulling a deviceID or really any platform specific stuff, and I still get crash–now before the loading screen shows.
Any idea on what issues the Float guys/gals fixed? [import]uid: 51498 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44669[/import]
What build of Corona SDK are you using? The one I used that’s on the market now was 540, I’m trying to build a 565 build and it’s crashing on the tablet. Not sure why, probably my fault, but it’s working on the HTC desire.
-Angelo [import]uid: 12822 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44707[/import]
Okay I’ve just tested nearly every build after 540. 540 is the latest build that works on honeycomb.

I am having this exact same issue on my honeycomb tablets…see my last 2 posts in this thread.

I opened a bug report with Ansca on 6/23. It is case #6481.
Basically build 540 works, and nothing after. I have tried them all, since I really need the audio fix that is in the later builds. [import]uid: 39506 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44757[/import]
That’s super helpful. I will try rebuilding with 540 and see what happens.
@Yobonja @gibsonpa, thanks for taking the time to reach out. I’ve done lots of game development on lots of platforms, but the amount and quality of the peer-based support I’ve gotten on the forums here is simply amazing.
Thanks again.

Wilson9,
No problem on the help. I am new to game programming (lots of business programming)…and agree the community here is great!
As much as I have used the information here…glad I could help you out.
BTW, if you have a link to any of your other games…would love to check them out.
Here is my website, if you care to take a look: http://www.gibibytegames.com/
Thanks,

Sure, I started back in the PC-CDROM days and was one of the first teams to enter the Independent Games Festival. All my games from that era are on this site…
If you dig around, you can find Demo versions of pretty much everything there. We also did some contract work for EA
Then I started to do custom games for clients (mostly Flash). I led a team that did games for Chef Boy Ardee and a few other companies. We also worked on some board game to on-line conversions like this one…
And, Tilt-a-Bowl is the latest project I’ve released…
I will check your sites out as well. Good luck! [import]uid: 51498 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44792[/import]
Wilson9, looks like you have done a lot of cool games! I will have to check them out. [import]uid: 39506 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 44801[/import]
We are having the same issue with Honeycomb tablets…hope it gets fixed real soon. [import]uid: 48372 topic_id: 12231 reply_id: 45172[/import]
