Build for Android

Hi

I am just trying to port a game done on iOS to Android.

Now I have managed to get the SDK working and the emulator. And thanks to the superb post on 3 step key signing generated a valid apk file. I can install the app but when I first tried it just loaded and then did nothing.

So I checked my Corona version on windows and it was a slightly old one (288) I think. So I updated to the latest one. First thing that struck me as odd is that it started complaining about the version number being less than 1 (it was set to 1.0) so I changed it to 1 and it worked.

However now when I issue an adb install .apk I get an error INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK

I am building for Android 2.2 and running it in an Android 2.2 AVD. So the only thing that has changed is the Corona SDK version, just wondered if someone knew what it might be?

Thanks

Hello Gary,

Thanks for the great info! Just a quick question since I am stuck at step 5!

  1. ONLY ONCE. Browse to c:\users<yourusername>\apktool\frameworks\resource and replace the 1.apk with the one you downloaded above.
    ------------------------------------

    I did not find apktool\frameworks\ressources? Is that different from the one of the file I downloaded according to your instruction (ie; apk_manager_4) I kind doubt but I am not sure.

    am I missing something?

    Sorry for maybe the stupid question!
