RAPT - Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool

[PyTom]

Yes, it's made for arm only. It seems to work on intel devices that have an arm emulator, such as intel-based tablets.

[Jibus]

Thanks, indeed ! Genymotion has removed the arm emulator from their package.

Hello! I've been working with Ren'Py for months now and I haven't met a single problem that hadn't an answer here, so sorry if someone already asked this I must have missed it!
I'd like to make an Android version of one of my games, I went through all the comments here but nobody seems to be as lost as I am. I resized everything so this isn't a problem. I would like to know if anyone made a step by step or a video tutorial of them building an android version of their games? I know that there are a dozen tutorials on that but none is precise, it seems to be made for people who already know how building android games work.
I have the "Google Play support is enabled, but build.google_play_key is not set. Please set in your game." message, and know that I have to set it but nobody says how or where. I also know that there are many many things to do/download, I tried a dozen tutorials but I don't get any of them.
I don't have any problem with Ren'Py itself, so yeah basically I'd like to know if anyone made a really precise step by step/tutorial or something for people who don't know how android distributions work please! ;w;
Thanks and sorry for my bad English!

@emilkun you have to setup a google developper account (25$ fees). Then after you create your product, Google will give you a key that you have to put in your game.

I've checked and both the file aapt and tht directory library are present in their correct places.
More info: We want to create an expansion pack for google play (done before with another game and got it working).

SOLVED (thanks, PyTom)
The problem: Ubuntu 64 bits can't run some 32 bits programs needed to create the android build.
The solution: This code solves it:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386

I'm facing the same symptom as the above post. My context:

- Windows 10
- Renpy 6.99.12.4 (downloaded yesterday)
- After Renpy grabbed the Android SDK, ran rapt/android-sdk-r24.4.1/tools/android.bat and installed Android 7.1.1 (API 25 - latest one) and Android 2.2 (API 8)
- Went through the configure step with mostly default answers aside from my (ASCII-only) project name and selecting Android 2.2 as my target platform (for menu buttons)

The android build attempt froze the Ren'Py launcher so I went to work. Hours later, I come home to find an android.txt with the error message quoted above. A quick search on stackoverflow says I should 'ant clean' so I ran "rapt/apache-ant-1.9.3/bin/ant clean" in the rapt/android-sdk-r24.4.1/tools/ant directory where build.xml is. That got hit with this error:

Code: Select all

I am trying again after installing (from the android.bat) Android 4.1.2 (API 16) as well. After tens of minutes to process 44165 android files, it sits at 'Packaging internal data' for... further tens of minutes before ending with 'The build seems to have failed'. The error message in android.txt is the same as before: null returned at build.xml 946. Any advice on how to proceed?

In case it's relevant, the android.txt dump includes:

"ant clean" works when done from rapt/ but that doesn't solve the problem of the build ultimately reaching "null returned at build.xml 946". I noticed I hadn't pasted this piece of android.txt before:

----------------------------
Solution

Plan B: a complete restart of the process. I started all the way back from the self-extracting renpy-6.99.12.4-sdk.7z.exe extracting to a new folder. Noticing that the "Install SDK" step was already grabbing libraries on its own, this time I didn't poke around with rapt/android-sdk-r24.4.1/tools/android.bat

This meant there were only 400-ish android files to process instead of the 44k I was seeing before. Stack overflow reported "Zip add failed" could mean the zip was too large - the vast reduction in android files to process and cram into a zip solved my issue.

I tried this, doesn't work :/ What exactly do you mean by complete restart of the process?

Try going to your rapt folder, go into 'bin' and delete all .apk files you see.

The build seems to have failed.

[Imperf3kt]

From the error log, it looks like you need to update java. Speaking of which, I need to do that soon too.

[polisummer]

Do you know which version I need to change Java to? I just checked and reinstalled Java 8 Update 151. I'm getting the same error.

[PyTom]

I think you might need to downgrade the jdk.

[PyTom]

Actually, never mind. 6.99.14 has a fix for this.

[Imperf3kt]

I recently received an email from Google stating that from August 2019, all uploaded .apk files must have both 32bit and 64 bit counterparts.

Is RAPT able to account for this?
