Blank screen on Android

Particle Candy / Text Candy
#1

I can’t seem to get any of the examples to work on my actual Android device (g1, 2.2).

I have got the samples to work on the simulator but all i get on the device is the corona subscription pop up then a blank screen.

I understand there are currently problems with particle candy and Android, is this one of the issues? I assumed the issues would have been more performance related

If it is one of the issues is the problem currently being worked on?

Managed to get the samples to work after restarting the phone. Frame rate is a bit choppy but that’s understandable, maybe with the new ARM7 build of corona it might help with performance.

Great product! Please continue with supporting it. Would love to see more sample effects included.

Also having a more Android friendly download edition of particle candy would be great so we dont need to do the small edits to run the files

Do you know how bad is the performance on Android? I’m thinking of using it for my Android project for simple explosion. [import]uid: 46116 topic_id: 8312 reply_id: 29710[/import]

As far as we know, there shouldn’t be any issues on Android devices, except for the performance difference. Even if there are no special features used at all, the performance is noticeable slower than on apple devices, so it seems that this is not an issue related to the library itself. Therefore, Corona’s graphics handling on Android devices probably still needs to be improved.

We’d be interested in your experiences using Corona on Android devices. [import]uid: 10504 topic_id: 8312 reply_id: 29782[/import]
