Here what i write in AndroidManifest.xml

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<manifest package="com.simplepong"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0"

    <!--Uncomment line below if your game uses microphone capabilities. !-->
    <!--uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" /!-->
    <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"/>

    >
        <activity
            android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
            android:label="SimplePong"
            android:launchMode="singleTask"
            android:name="org.love2d.android.GameActivity"
            android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape"
        >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
                <category android:name="tv.ouya.intent.category.GAME"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>
i think I already followed the instructions of Apktool in love2d website carefully. Look! The code which i wrote in androidmanifest is from that website.

Did you correctly `cd` into the directory?

To make sure you're in the right path print out `ls`

loveToAndroid doesn't updated to latest LOVE 11.3.

To OP, I suggest you to do the game packaging in PC or Mac.

Yes. I often check my path using 'ls' everytime i want to clone something or running some of command. But still got the same problem. My path which im in, already correct.

I thought the error was because some of my files in love_decoded folder are missing. But im not sure whether its missing or not. If yes, i dont know which files are missing.

The APKTool tutorial is intended for PC or Mac, so for mobile with terminal emulator, YMMV.
