Build Failed during compile

peda · March 9, 2015 at 1:56 PM

I've been having problems with compiling my first Android game made with CTF 2.5 on Windows 8.1.

I have the developer version and both the HTML5 and Android exporters. The HTML5 exporter works fine, and the Android exporter works fine with a blank application, but not with my game that I want to publish!

I have searched thoroughly through this forum for an answer, and have tried every solution offered, such as removing certain objects, disabling antivirus during export, and ensuring that the JDK and Android SDK were properly installed.

I have tried with the latest JDK (8) and Android SDK (24), as well as the default Android build version (14) and an older JDK (6). Blank exports work fine with all configurations, so I know that I have them installed correctly, but the failure is always in the compile stage of my game's export.

The Error Log goes as follows:

I also see how the java [javac] part of the export contains errors where ';'s or line breaks are expected, but I believe that's part of the exporter process so is out of my hands. Thank you for reading through this, I hope you can help!

Maybe the package names don't support numbers, try with com.pirat.eightnights

ColdFire · March 9, 2015 at 3:09 PM

No, he can put number into package name. Try to reinstall your exporter.

Perry · March 9, 2015 at 3:21 PM

the package name is wrong.. you can't have numbers in it. the exporter will fail

btw. it could be, that it's looking for API 20 as well.
make sure you select the right API, AND have it installed

The package name can contain numbers but not in the first position.

Thanks for the support, I will check all this then post back my results!

True, this causes this error.

peda · March 9, 2015 at 6:12 PM

Changed the name to com.pirat.eightbit, and made sure that the build number 20 is indeed 4.4 and is actually installed. Now there is no error popping up. And no log. But fusion is now frozen. The green bar in the bottom left hasn't moved in about half an hour. Building HTML5 or exe usually takes just a minute or two, so I believe it might be broken. Do I force quit the program, or keep waiting? What causes the export to hang without errors like this?

Perry · March 9, 2015 at 6:34 PM

check in your task manager..
There are 1 java things running.. close the top one.

I've had that in the past..
best thing seems to be
run it once, and then compile as a package..

Yves · March 9, 2015 at 7:08 PM

Did you click Build & Run? If so, then adb is frozen. ADB is the tool from the Android SDK that CF launches to install and launch the APK on your device. Kill the adb process(s) to unfreeze CF.

Check that your device is connected via USB and that USB Debugging is selected in the Developer Options in the parameters of your device.

If CF still freezes when you click Build & Run, then maybe that means your USB driver is not ADB compatible and you should install another one. Or you can simply build the APK, transfer it manually to the device and install it yourself.

peda · March 9, 2015 at 7:20 PM

Thanks. Ensuring the device was connected and that Debugging was on is what fixed it. NOW the problem is that my 'mouse single left click' events aren't working as touch events. Is there something that needs to be done to translate these?

Perry · March 9, 2015 at 7:27 PM

Just use

When user clicks (and select the left mouse button)
- .....

should work just fine, make sure that they are enabled, or getting triggered.

peda · March 9, 2015 at 7:29 PM

Thanks, I will try this and post the results. I tested an HTML5 build just now, and the left clicks worked as touch, but I guess that simply works differently in HTML than Android.

peda · March 9, 2015 at 7:38 PM

Oh dear, they are "When user clicks" events, so I have no idea why they work on my touchscreen PC and phone's internet browser as .exe. and html5 exports, but they don't work on my phone screen as a .apk file. Is there another way to convert mouse clicks to touches?

Perry · March 9, 2015 at 7:52 PM

there is, but then you need to use the "On Touch" events, and then you have to do a lot more.

if it's just a simple left click
All you need it

When user clicks on object (or whatever) then a screen comes up for either Left/middle/right and single / double click options
Just use the Left click, and it acts like a Touch.

Fernando · March 9, 2015 at 7:53 PM

you have multitouch object in android, did you try it?

peda · March 9, 2015 at 8:57 PM

Ok, so I've inserted a multi-touch object into every frame that wouldn't accept touch, and that all works fine.

New problem is that my sound samples can't play over each other. It'll only play one sample at a time, and if any sounds overlap, then they cut over each other intermittently, or they don't play at all. They all worked fine in the exe and html exports. Is there something I should be doing to the standard samples playing in Android?

Finally, I was using an INI object to save the game.. Again, this works in exe and html5, but the game is not saved in the Android build. Should saving variables and strings be handled differently in Android games? I have set the permissions to read from and write to external storage and delete from and clear the cache. Anything else?

Fernando · March 9, 2015 at 9:10 PM

1.- here is an example to use multitouch Please login to see this link.

2.- did you check "play sounds over frame" in properties (runtime options - properties)

3.- you need to use the folder name in android object here an example Please login to see this link.

Perry · March 9, 2015 at 9:12 PM

In the main settings, there are options for the sound.
like Multi samples and play over frame.
Also, you might need to play different sounds on different channels.. if they are playing at the same time.

For the INI file. did you use the Android Object to get the Folder for the application, so you can save?

edit : Fernando beat me on this... both the same answers, except I didn't have an example handy :p

Thanks! I'm working through these now to fix it. Will post an update.
