Can LC 8 test on Android device? - LC 8 DP 16 Solved

Post by DR White » Tue Mar 01, 2016 12:22 am

I am not having much luck testing a one button card stack as an Android device using LC 8 on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.10.5. I have no problems with LC 7.
Is it me or is it a bug with LC 8?

Thanks,

David

I think with DP 15 you'll need to update your Android SDK.

Hi,
I was just setting up for Android testing on a MacbookPro 10.10.5. with LC 8 DP 15 following all the official instructions from the livecode website. I got the app launching on the virtual device but was greeted by the feared black screen. I fiddled around with different settings for the Android Virtual Device but never got past the black screen. Since I needed to test a stack using GPS sensor data I did not spent a lot of time with it and deployed directly to the device which worked without issue.

Best
Oliver

I don't see anything related to this on the LC QC site. Maybe ask over in the Android Developers Forum.

Oliver,

That's the same exact experience that I had with trying to use LC 8 DP15 on virtual device.

It must be a bug.

It's nice to know that it worked on the actual device.

Thanks,

David

If you think it's a bug then do something about it.
Here's the link to the LC QC website. Register, search the list to see if there's something like this already reported and if not... file a bug report.
