We managed to run a couple of our native C++ applications on the
Android emulator. We started porting our EDGELIB mobile engine (http://
www.edgelib.com) yesterday and this is the result so far.
As you can see, our application still has some problems. The most
important is that the input and display isn't used exclusively. This
causes conflicts with the existing processes and makes the display
flicker.
We would like to create a java-based launcher that runs the
executable. We would like to know if it's possible to run an
executable, and if this will have exclusive access to the input and
display hardware until the application is quit. Also, we would like to
be notified of events when the application needs to be paused/
minimized (for example, when a phonecall comes in).
Is it possible to have access to the window server (or something
similar), so we know where we can draw and get notifications?
How to install and run the S-Tris2 sample in the Android emulator (on
a Windows machine):
- We assume the Android SDK is unpacked and ready to use
- Go to your android installation directory and open the tools
directory
- This directory should contain several executables, including
emulator.exe, the Android Emulator
- Unzip the files in S-Tris2.zip into the tools directory containing
the emulator. It contains an executable and a resource directory
containing a couple of resource files
- Open a command (DOS) prompt and change to the directory containing
the emulator
- Start the emulator with console support with this command: emulator -
console
- The emulator will start, please wait until it is ready for use
(leave the command prompt open)
- Open a new command prompt window and go to the emulator directory
again
- Upload the executable and resource files using these commands:
adb push S-Tris2 /system/sbin/S-Tris2
adb shell mkdir /system/sbin/res
adb push res\bgm.epk /system/sbin/res/bgm.epk
adb push res\sfx.epk /system/sbin/res/sfx.epk
adb push res\games.epk /system/sbin/res/games.epk
adb push res\gfx.epk /system/sbin/res/gfx.epk
- It will mention it has sent 0 bytes, you can ignore this
- Connect with the emulator by using the command: adb shell
- It will show a hash (#) sign, connection is successful
- Go to the installation path with the following command: cd /system/
sbin
- Set permission with the command: chmod 777 S-Tris2
- Start the application with: ./S-Tris2
- Look at the emulator and see the game load and title screen appear
(you may need to push a soft button to update the screen)
Known problems:
- The display isn't used exclusively, the display may flicker. Solve
this by pressing keys
- Input isn't used exclusively, other actions will happen when using
the emulator keys
- No sound support yet
