Compiling an APK for Android?

[Upper Dave]

I've only ever made apps using Flash, so forgive me if I'm being dumb. How do you turn an exported android project into an APK ready for upload onto the Google Play store?

The readme file for this is all in Japanese.

[Upper Dave]

It would be great if there was a simple publish to APK option like Flash has.

Image buttons have been having some issues and its not only for the phones. As far as the save thing goes I am only aware of one other person who has mentioned it being the only pickable save.

Thanks for the feedback jay_rab.

Sorry for my bad English but if you delete this line "ctx.drawImage(canvas, bounds.left, bounds.top, bounds.width, bounds.height, 0, 0, bounds.width, bounds.height);" from the tyrano\html2canvas.js in your project folder before compiling apk, the save thing will work.
Seem like the problem come from this drawimage command. I can upload my apk file if anyone interested

Thanks Sardine! I will try it out. I'd love to try you game, ill pass you mine too. But mine is in english.

Yeah the steps needed to take after we set tyranobuilder to a format that is able to be used for Android is not as ideal as we want for our users and this is one of the things we are trying to find a solution to simplify since the SDK and Eclipse makes things harder.

And Yes Tyrano is still being worked on Dave ^_^

My suggestion having done android application development would be to drop eclipse all together. - Android Studio is the new standard and if there is one thing I know about android from developing personal safety apps they like to keep things standardized.

Hey, I wanted to say that, I've been debating whether or not to buy this software, cause it looks awesome and doesn't require you to buy anything additional in order to convert your projects to work for android, ios, etc. So far I'm leaning towards buying it, but I wanted to ask if it will eventually be able to directly produce a working APK after exporting your project for android.

Thanks for considering the program, if your only considering the program on the fact that it could at a future date be more simple produce the APK I would say hold off on purchasing it till that point as while it is our desire to make easier there is still alot of unknowns.

On the other hand though I do feel that the program does merit some recognition in the fact that its fairly straightforward in making a visual novel and many times its worth the time you have to invest on the back end of converting it to andriod due to the simplicity on the front end in making the novel.

Save issues has fix.

1)
check "pakage.json" file in your project and change "name" to something unique
that will help a lot

2) if game resolution is high, use second step too
set "configThumbnail" in data/system/Config.tjs to false (this will diable previews)
or apply js patch if you experienced with javascript

or wait for official update

Just asking. That alone won't discourage me from buying the software, as I'm already pretty tech savvy so it shouldn't be too hard figuring out how to convert it to an APK after a lot of reading and watching youtube videos. I was just asking if at some point in the future Tyranobuilder will be able to directly produce a working APK after exporting the project for an android phone.

[CarloAntonio]

Its not hard, just follow the instructions in the FAQ, set the environment up for paths, download the right version of phonegap like instructed(especially if you did ios first) then come back here and do some of these fixes.

That is the goal or aim for us and we are working towards that, but this early on I cant make any promises as we predict there will be a couple hurdles that we will need to be worked through.
