Tutorial for debugging stacks that run in “Test” mode, but

Post by DR White » Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:32 am

A lot of us need a Tutorial for debugging stacks that run in “Test” mode,
but do not in an Android environment.

Where can I find one?

Thanks,

David

I'm not clear on what you are asking for.
What is "Test" mode?
And how did you get those cool quotation marks?

Simon,

The "test" mode that I am referring to is using the Android AVD to load the program into to see if it functions properly.

Ahhh, you are asking about stacks that run in the sim but not on a device, David?

Simon,

That is exactly what I am asking about!

Surely, there must be a step by step procedure or tutorial to be sure that nothing is missed going from the AVD testing phase to the actual installation of the .akp file and a way of determining why it will not install or run in the Android environment.

Check you later, I have to go to my real job now.

Thanks,

David

David.
Got it now.
You want an "expert system" to stop you from doing something that will not work or guiding you to the "proper" way to do something.
BTW, you didn't answer your "App not installed' posting.

I think give it time, soon many of the questions that are asked, solutions will follow or if big enough RunRev will fix it so workarounds are not needed.

Simon,

I do not want an expert system to keep me from making mistakes, that is impossible!

I just want some reference material to learn how to go from a LC working stack using the LC "Test" feature and the AVD,
to a working APK file in an android environment.

Thanks,

David

I understand exactly what you are saying. My app worked fine on the emulator but when I installed the apk on my phone and tablet everything was mucked up.

what do you mean "mucked up"?
Is this a graphics/resolution question?

Simon
Edit: Or how the code runs? other?
