RAPT - Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool

[PyTom]

You need to make sure the font you're using is included with your game and in the apk. Assuming the file exists in the game directory, try renaming the .apk to .zip and looking inside the assets/ directory to make sure the font is there.

Hseo : Same problem with you and I deleted google play licensing library and google play APK expansion library, then re-downloaded them again. Successfully build but haven't tried it on my device. I wonder if my Android can recognize .obb file? (totally noob, I use file expansion by the way). Where should I put .apk file and .obb file on my device? Do I have to rename .obb file into the same as .apk file?

for this you can watch this video for full explaining how to play games with apk and obb files
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPaBxSViTYY[/youtube]
+
you can put *.apk and *.obb files anywhere you want
-> for me I just put them in "root -> download"
(I:\download or I:\device_name\download )

also, it look like the game will crush in android if we used

Code: Select all

init python:
        config.rtl = True

though it look like downloading last API version + add simple code will fix it
->>>>>>>downloading API 19 right now

Hseo : Thanks for your tips and explanation, but nope, after I followed all the instructions on that video, it's still not functioning. I successfully installed my .apk files but when I run it, it always said "Looking for some resources to download" and then "Download failed because you may not have purchased this app."

Edited : But after I upload my .apk and .obb expansion file to Google Play, then download it directly into my Android device, it works just fine. Weird Probably still contains some issues though, but I hope not.
Anyone interested to become a beta-tester, maybe?

I'd try deleting and reinstalling android-sdk - your install seems corrupted.

I have the same problem as you, ".../market_licensing resolve to a path with no project.properties file for project..." and already tried deleting and re-downloading the google play licensing library and google play APK expansion library, but the problem persists. Did you try anything else other than that? (I also had tried deleting rapt folder and installing the Android SDK all over again to no avail)
EDIT: I'm using 6.17.6
EDIT2: IT'S SOLVED.
It took me hours to realize: whenever I run "Install SDK & Create Keys" step, Ren'Py launcher ALWAYS ends up not responding after the long and tiring download of Android SDK. Which (I think) leads to incomplete download of play_licensing and play_apk_expansion folders. Unfortunately, deleting the folders and re-downloading them through the Android SDK Manager didn't work for me.
What works: delete the google folder and re-download them through the LAUNCHER (redo the step "Install SDK & Create Keys").

Why RAPT still has ARMv5TE libs only? Now >90% devices has an ARMv7 cores, but engine doesn't use the all power of them now, because it has no optimised libs for it. May be it's time to add it? Or may be RAPT source are available somewhere, and we can try to build it to other platforms ourselves?
Thanks!

[PyTom]

It isn't clear to me that the additional performance would be worth the larger package sizes or the complexity of having to upload multiple apk variants.

Do you have any data on the percentage of android devices with arm7 cores?

[Ganster41]

No, I have no CPU-specific statistics instruments. I can look at my app users devices top list in Google Play developer console. And I have no devices with CPUs older than ARMv7 there.
Last ARMv6-based smartphones, which I found, are produced in 2010-2011. You can look how many devices are produced in last 3 years, and before in any catalog, like gsmarena. Anyway, they are to old.
May be optional possibility to make package with pre-ARMv7 CPU support will be better? Unity 3D was doing same, before dropped old cores completely. I think, additional 3 megabytes of libs (which will be compressed in APK) is not a big problem, don't you?

PS: Sorry for my English. I don't know it very well.

[PyTom]

Knowing that unity dropped support is a good data point. I'll think about it.

Hi there. I tried to built an Android version of my VN, and while I'm doing so, I encountered these while building the package. Do you know what seems to be the problem??? Thank you.

Hi.

I was unable to install the SDK:

Google upgraded their build tools, which broke Ren'Py. I'm going to try to get a 6.18 prerelease out over the long weekend.
