Love2D Exporter Online

Post by Snake174rus »

Hi All!

I make online tool for build games created by the Love2D game engine under the platforms Windows, Android, Mac OS X and Linux (not implemented yet).

Site working in test mode. Server will be available from Monday till Friday in period from 7:00 to 16:00 by Moscow.

Need to test Android and Mac because I'n not shure that it will be works with obfuscated code. On Windows games run normally.

Hi
I tried out your exporter tool.
The windows file worked normal. The android file I could not get to work. I am not so familiar with phone/android stuff, so maybe problem on my side. ;)

Phone: Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195
Android version: 4.4.2

Attached is the file GOLtestAndroid.apk that exporter created.
(changed file extenstion only for upload to GOLtestAndroid.apk.zip so forum would allow it)

Below is written what I tried:

1) In security settings allowed install from unsafe sources.
Like explained at https://www.androidpit.com/android-for- ... n-apk-file

2) Connected phone to PC with USB, copied GOLtestAndroid.apk to a folder on sdcard

3) On phone used ES-file-explorer to show the apk file.
It shows up with the icon I uploaded in exporter-tool.

4) Clicked the .apk file, results in screen:
"LÖVE for Android
Would you like to install an update for this existing app?
Your existing data is preserved. The update app gains access to:

[New] [ALL]
(under ALL is some list like 'read/write files' / 'control vibration' etc)

[Cancel] [Install]"

5) Press Install
Says "installing..." for 2 seconds, then:
App has not been installed [OK]
..
No clue what to do now?
I already had the "LÖVE for Android" from play-store installed, and that works for testing 'not packed' löve projects.

/edit
after some more googling:
Seems maybe problem with the phone settings :o:
Appearently in android there is a menu to set prefered installation path for apps? But I could not find that.

Hm, that is pity. Idea of such exporter seems really good.
(I have not tried the other instructions on https://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution for android-distribution yet, but just from reading them I know it will be a painful journey. ;) Especially the linux one, since I do not use arch but ubuntu.)

Unfortunately it's not up to me.

:) Goog luck

This tutorial looks outdated. It uses JDK 7. I have tried to install JDK 7 and JDK 6 but only with JDK 8 I was able to compile the apk file.

Nice!
This would be even cooler if it could export to HTML5 with love.js. ;)
