Does Corona support App Name localization?

I also tried to way to locate the title, but following
the procedure

  - Apktool d myapp.apk
  - Apktool b myapp myapp_new.apk
  - Signing new with “jarsigner” tool and then “Zipalign”

  I have the same error: “Unfortunately, MyApp has stopped”

same problem ofgreg886

Any ideas?

Can you mention your problem very clearly do I can understand properly and try to solve it. I and my one friend have good Android knowledge but I couldn’t understand the problem.

I have the same problem. the app crashes after changing the FileContentProvider to ‘com.ansca.corona.files’. if i do not change the  FileContentProvider my app works but i get a message that i must change  the FileContentProvider to ‘com.ansca.corona.files’. Very strange. I am not aware of using any plugins.

Any ideas? It is very frustrating because i just wanted to deploy my app.

I just found you can create different app titles for different languages in Google Play.

You don’t need to implement this inside the app.

Just do it in the Google Play console.

That’s only the Google Play title. That doesn’t affect the app name when displayed on the device.

Oh I see… I didn’t consider about the title in the device for this issue.

It’s still an issue then.

Any news on this?

App Name localization for Android is a MUST. A framework without such a feature is a NO GO. Is there any timeframe for supporting this in corona? If not i have to change to another framework like cocos2d-x.

Any news are very appreciated.

Thanks from a very frustrated corona fan.

For this to be considered by CoronaLabs we’ll have to vote for the feature here:

http://feedback.coronalabs.com/forums/188732-corona-sdk-feature-requests-feedback/suggestions/5287714-localization-support-for-android-icon-app-title-

At the moment it has nearly 80 votes, but I don’t know how far up on CoronaLabs’ list those votes take it.

I’m Enterprise so I can already do it myself, however I consider this a basic feature that should be implemented sooner rather than later so everybody can take advantage of true localisation.

Hi Ingemar,

i have already voted for it month ago. 

It is sad that we have to vote for a core functionality. There are a lot of languages in the world and a good framework has to support multi languages.

We have a very full queue of things going on right now that the community is going to like.  Once we knock these out, I’ll try to get some attention on this.  Every thing is a cost-benefit analysis.   My Android-fu isn’t great but my understanding is that this isn’t easy from doing with in SDK.  The more votes for this the better.

Hi Rob,

i would be happy if there would be a “always working” workaround for example with help of the apktool.

Corona should provide a formal & reliable way to do this!

Hi guys, i was trying this with compile and decompile my apk with the apktool, but first i was having some issue with the error 

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: brut/apktool/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

and know my apktool its ready because i download various versions of de jdk and jre and this stuff and the apktool works but when i try to build with corona any app for android its gave me and error warning and later it crash 

Warning: 

Mar 12 13:20:56.378: No -tsa or -tsacert is provided and this jar is not timestamped. Without a timestamp, users may not be able to validate this jar after the signer certificate’s expiration date (4751-11-04) or after any future revocation date.

what can i do for it because i reinstall the corona sdk but nothing happend. There are an specific jdk and jre for corona or what? help me please!

At the moment apktool isn’t compatible with APK’s generated with the Corona SDK. Unfortunately there’s not much we can do about it since using apktool is a bit of a hack, and has never been officially supported.
