plugin.utf8 not working

Solar2D Android
#1

I have downloaded the Corona-3523 build and start migrating my existing app to 64-bit Android version.

However, I found that  the plugin.utf8.so is not included in the final apk.

Here is a quck test setup. I modified the Corona  Natvie sample code “CustomErrorHandler” with following change:

  1. Add two lines in Corona/main.lua

 

local utf8 = require( “plugin.utf8” )

print( utf8.width( “asdfasdf” ) )

2.  Change  Corona/build.settings :

 

settings =

{

        --[[

        orientation =

        {

                default = “portrait”,

                supported = { “portrait” }

        },

        --]]

 

        iphone =

        {

                xcassets = “Images.xcassets”,

                plist =

                {

                        UILaunchStoryboardName = “LaunchScreen”,

                },

        },

 

plugins =

    {

        [“plugin.utf8”] =

        {

            publisherId = “com.coronalabs”

        },

    },

}

 

  1. Compile the Android build by: 

./gradlew assembleRelease

 

  1. If we unzip the apk file, we check there is no  “libplugin.utf8.so” found in any folder…

Have you actually activated the plugin from the marketplace? If I’m not mistaken, simply requiring it in your code isn’t enough.

#3

What happens if you do a simulator build instead of a native build?

What happens if you build from Android Studio instead of doing a command line build?

Are you running the script to download plugins?

Here is my test result:

What happens if you do a simulator build instead of a native build?

> Yes, if generate apk from simulator , the apk has  “libplugin.utf8.so”.

 

What happens if you build from Android Studio instead of doing a command line build?

> Same result.There is no “libplugin.utf8.so”

 

Are you running the script to download plugins?

> No.

You need to run setUpCoronaAppAndPlugins  in the Gradle section of Android Studio:

Thanks.

Finally work after executing “./gradlew setUpCoronaAppAndPlugins” in Android folder.

This would be nice if you can add this procedure in the document (which is currently missing this important step)
