Black screen on startup for some Android users

I think you’re right about that. I forgot to load it in most of them, I think… will try now. but I still don’t know why it works on the pad?

#42

I was calling     require(“refPointConversions”)   in main.lua

#43

I put require(“refPointConversions”) and then local refPointConversions = require(“refPointConversions”) in all of the scenes that used the setReferencePoint. got the same errors…

I will go ahead and convert them myself if you think this is the bottom-line issue.

#44

Boost is a feature of Advanced Task Manager that clears app ram when you tap it.

#45

okay, so I manually converted every setrefpoint (including those in extras folders like Widget Library). used Search in the app’s folder to find every single last instance of it. at the end, it was still saying I had five instances (impossible), but it went past the grey and started to try and download; got the Not Market Managed because I haven’t uploaded this version yet, but it looks like it’s heading into the ballpark. I’ll update after I upload. 

still weird that the pad works, but who cares; now it may work on both!!!

thanks, Rob!!!

You may have had some android specific code that was being referenced that the iOS code wasn’t touching.

I should have said tablet maybe. they’re both Android devices. the tablets running the current android os. maybe that made a difference?

#48

Eureka, Rob!!! downloaded, installed and opened without a hitch nor need for a Boost. absolutely brilliant!

I still have the dilemma from the other forum of either allowing it to open on my Droid X (normal screens = true) or for it to say Designed for Phones (false)…

#49

so I dropped the normal = true only large and xlarge=true; still says for phone. I’m going to drop all reference to screen size and see what happens…
