Issues involving testing an app

Solar2D Android

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!

Was director working properly in the simulator, or did you get any errors?

Sorry your post wasn’t answered in New Users - I’m not sure why I never saw it. My apologies.

Thanks for the reply.

I just can’t seem to accomplish this; Navigating to a .lua file that is in a folder.

In the Simulator I’m able to use the code below and everything is fine, but when I build my app and port it to a phone, I get this error:

“Director ERROR: Failed to load module ‘folder/file’ - Please check if the file exists and it is correct”.

I know something isn’t wrong with the file because I have gotten it to load when it is not in a folder. Is my syntax wrong?

Help is appreciated.

I’m hoping to have a usable version of the app by tonight, and this has been an unforeseen problem.

[code]
local function goEvent (event)
if event.phase == “ended” then
director:changeScene (“folder/file”, “moveFromRight”)
end
end

It could very well be that although director doesn’t yet support subdirectories - that would be a question for the director subforum.

Given when your issue occurs I would suspect that is the case.
