Android 4.2 problems
Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Android 4.2 problems
| ||
| I am unable to run any Monkey Game on the newly released Android 4.2 (The 2nd version of Jellybean recently released for Nexus devices) I've tested on a Nexus 4 and on a colleague's recently updated Galaxy Nexus but on both devices the application opens and immediately closes. Games ran fine on the Galaxy Nexus when it was on the 4.1 version of Jellybean. I tried two games, one of my own using just mojo and BallsOut from Mike Hart's tutotials, both behaved the same. |
| ||
| What happens? Any error message? My Nexus 7 hasnt updated yet. |
| ||
| I've recorded a short video of what happens. There is no error message and I can confirm both apks run fine on Jellybean 4.1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX6GBoAI5Pc&feature=youtube_gdata_player the first apk I try to run is set to force landscape and you can see it loads in to landscape mode |
| ||
| My Nexus has just updated and I tried to play Pets Day Out and it crashes straight away. |
| ||
| same here my nexus 7 just updated my game does not work, also therevills pirate solitaire, screen goes black for a second or two and returns you to home screen. |
| ||
| Nasty if all monkey android apps have broken with the 4.2 upgrade... What ls will have broken, one wonders |

| My games all do the exact same thing in the 4.2 emulator. The error seems to lead back to the following lines in Flush() function: GLES11.glEnable( GLES11.GL_TEXTURE_2D ); I get the following errors each time: 11-17 03:14:39.937: E/AndroidRuntime(1357): FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 125 11-17 03:14:39.937: E/AndroidRuntime(1357): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No config chosen 11-17 03:14:39.937: E/AndroidRuntime(1357): at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$BaseConfigChooser.chooseConfig(GLSurfaceView.java:874) 11-17 03:14:39.937: E/AndroidRuntime(1357): at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$EglHelper.start(GLSurfaceView.java:1024) 11-17 03:14:39.937: E/AndroidRuntime(1357): at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.guardedRun(GLSurfaceView.java:1401) 11-17 03:14:39.937: E/AndroidRuntime(1357): at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run(GLSurfaceView.java:1240) |

| In my testing using a 4.2 (API Level 17) AVD, the crash always occurs during the call to: GLES11.glTexSubImage2D() glGetError() after each and every call to OGL indicates no errors. Commenting out the call to GLES11.glTexSubImage2D prevents the crash (but of course drawn images are just boxes of random colored texels). |
| ||
| Seems like a bug with Android 4.2, not Monkey. Other people are reporting this error. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39845 |
| ||
| interesting.. it would be nice if Google fixed this, and there was no recompilation of our Monkey programs needed :-) |
| ||
| Angry birds and a few others still works fine... |
| ||
| Aye I think if it was a "bug" in 4.2 the android news site would be full of reports, all I am seeing are reports about bluetooth issues with 4.2 - any who hope it gets fixed soon be it a jellybean or monkey problem. |
| ||
| Can someone confirm that all monkey apps are affected. According to google play, I've got a (small) number or active users on 4.2, whatever that means. If s/ones on JB, could they check my app below? Pretty please! |
| ||
| Just download Yikes! to my 4.2 nexus 7 - did not run, same issue as my app and others. |
| ||
| Ok, thx that was built from v60 monkey. So at this point does it appear that all monkey apps are affected? Bleurgh! |
| ||
| would appear so my app was built from v66 but I tried an old app that would have been built using v4x or v5x and that also didn't work. I am going to see if anything happens this weekend if not I might just rebuild my apps to specify a maxSDK in the manifest.
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="integer"
android:targetSdkVersion="integer"
android:maxSdkVersion="integer" />
to avoid any negative reviews. |
| ||
| Others are having issues. S/one on this thread mentions that new star soccer is broken now, which is consistent.. http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-7-on-android-4-2-having-problems-updating-google-play-apps-131524/ And you can see reviews coming in on google play (e.g for NSS) showing lots of 4.2 users are struggling with monkey apps.. |
| ||
| Would someone who is fortunate enough to have an Android device which is running 4.2 do me a massive favour, and see if my app now starts up ok? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9827698/yzr.apk It's a small download (<3Mb), so should only take a few secs to check out. I've taken the fix Mark posted, and backported it onto v60 of Monkey which I'm using, and recompiled. It'd be great to know if this works on 4.2, now, because I've got no way of testing. I'd love to get a Nexus 10, I must say! Thanks in advance, if anyone is willing to help :-) |
| ||
| @SilentShark - yup running fine now on my Nexus 7 running 4.2 |
| ||
| @Supertino - you are a star, and I owe you a favour.. I will update on Google Play tonight.. :-) Many thanks.. |
| ||
| Marks' fix seems to have worked. Re-ran some test on a 4.2 AVD and no more crashes. |
| ||
| ..and hopefully hasn't broken backwards compatibility. I did some random testing on 4.1, 4.0 and 2.3 devices, and all seemed good. Uploading a new version to Google Play, with fingers crossed :-) |
| ||
| Marks' fix seems to have worked. I have searched the forums, but I wonder where is this mysterious fix to be found? :) |
| ||
| Could be that the fix got lost during the server migration. But as Simon said, we will never be happy :-p |
| ||
| Go to the product updates section and scroll down to the bottom. |
| ||
Or just add:buf.position( 0 ); before every GLES11.glTexImage2D call, to your own version on mojo.android.java. |
| ||
| I've had reports 4.2 breaks our games too. Going to try rebuilding with the fix. Latest cyanogenmod is only at 4.1.2 for my device though... will have to have users test. |
| ||
| if you post up a link to your apk, i'd be happy to test they open for anyone |
| ||
| Ah great, could you please do a quick check here? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cobblecrowd.blottypotslite Thanks! |
| ||
| starts up fine, played a single player round with no errors fun game, actually |
| ||
| @Xaron, I can confirm that Blotty works fine now on Android 4.2. |
| ||
| Thanks guys! :) I really wonder, there are very many apps out there that won't work with Android 4.2 anymore, looking at the comments... |
