Issues involving testing an app

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi, everyone!

Hopefully this is probably a simple problem with a fairly simple solution. The app I’ve been working on is almost complete, yet I still haven’t been able to test it on a physical device. After hours of searching google and trying different methods, the farthest I’ve gotten to it working is a error screen about the Director.lua not working. This was after I copied the .apk directly onto the device from windows (Could this be the reason the Director.lua wasn’t working?). I tried following a tutorial on Ansca mobile, but the 1st step involving installing the app was pretty veg. http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/building-devices-android.

I’ve already installed android SDK and AVD Manager, but I can’t find anything referring to transferring files onto an android device like the tutorial suggests.
It would be great if you could give me any tips or suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

i think best way to test builds on android devices is to use Dropbox app, its very easy to use and you dont even need to connect your phone with computer [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 15456 reply_id: 57168[/import]

I’ve gotten to the point where I can install it on the device, but now I’m getting errors with the director.lua. What exactly can go wrong? I’m using this director: http://rauberlabs.blogspot.com/. Version 1.4.

The error is:

Director ERROR:Failed to execute new( params )function on ‘menu’. [import]uid: 66317 topic_id: 15456 reply_id: 57207[/import]
