[Resolved] Getting "FORCE CLOSE" when trying to run app on Android mini tablet

I’ve got a non-game app - just displays information - for a customer and they wanted to know if it would run on the Android tablets available for under $100 on sale. I figured if it ran Android 2.X it should, right? So far I’ve not been able to do it. I get a “Sorry! The application test1 (process com.zaks.test1) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.”

I made a test app (actually copied it from the Ansca sample) and made it as simple as I could, it only prints “Hello World” to the screen.

If I build it from my windows machine it runs on my Android Atrix, if I build it on my Mac it runs on the Android, the iPhone and the iPad no problems. But I can’t get it running on the mini tablet - I’m using a Sylvania SYTAB7MX, updated with Android 2.3, 2 other people have tried it on 2 other mini tablets and have the same problem.

Here is the main.lua file:  
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
-- Abstract: Hello World sample app  
-- Version: 1.0  
  
local textObject = display.newText( "Hello World!2", 50, 50, native.systemFont, 24 )  
textObject:setTextColor( 255,255,255 )  
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
  
the config.lua file:  
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
application =  
{  
 content =  
 {  
 scale = "zoomEven" -- zoom to fill screen, possibly cropping edges  
 },  
}  
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  

Any help will be appreciated.

Are the devices ArmV7 ? If they are ArmV6 or lower Corona doesn’t support them, hence your problem.

Note: ArmV is not the same thing as Arm [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 26920 reply_id: 109252[/import]

That’s it, they are Arm 11 processors. I forgot all about checking that. Thanks Danny! [import]uid: 101604 topic_id: 26920 reply_id: 109257[/import]
