What's wrong with my .apk file?

[DelphiFreak]

Hi,

I am able now to compile/build an .apk.

When I run it in the emulator or on a real device, the app just crashes.
I attached the adb.txt but don't see the problem.
Could someone have a look at the adb.txt and give me a hint?

Thanks.

Hello DelphiFreak.
I have seen the  adb.txt .I guess the question is package name is wrong,but I not sure.If you agree ,you can send the project to me,maybe I can debug it.

Greetings!

Thanks for your answer.

Here is a whole project.

Attention. It's now called "project4". (does not correspond with the previous abd.log)

The generate apk-file is in folder \project4\android\bin\

Thank you.

Hello DelphiFreak.I haved debug the project4.Now it's running OK!
You can download from here:http://sdrv.ms/17cIBrJ,please select project4.7z.
Also you can find the apk-file in \project4\android\bin\project4.apk.
changed  list:
1.project options-> other add this:-dANDROID -Xd -CpARMV6

2.project options->Paths->Libraries change to Android NDK r7.
  android-ndk-r7\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib\;
  android-ndk-r7\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\lib\gcc\arm-linux-androideabi\4.4.3\

3.AndroidManifest.xml line 3:
  package="com.pascal.project4"

4.Add two files: one is generate_debug_key2.bat,this batch file is create a debug key.The two is build_debug_apk2.bat , this file is build apk file.

Now the project4.apk is running in my Lenovo LePad A1-07 OK.It's Android 2.3.3.
I'm used laz4android-41139-FPC2.7.1 + windows xp sp3 +  android NDK r7 to build this Project.

sorry my bad english!

Indeed it's the package name:

line 1213: W/PackageManager(  864): Package named 'com.pascal.project3' doesn't exist.

line 1357: E/AndroidRuntime( 1494): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{COM.PASCAL.LCLTEST/COM.PASCAL.LCLTEST.LCLActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: COM.PASCAL.LCLTEST.LCLActivity

Hello truetom,

thank you very very much.
I can run the apk you have built. It runs fine on my tablet with Android 4.0.3

I am working on this little tool: ApkManager
http://sourceforge.net/projects/laztoapk/

As you can see from the newsgroup, a lot of people have problems to build a working lazarus app for android.
Mostly because of this ugly dependencies to SDK,NDK,Java.

With ApkManager I try to make things easier for everyone. (it's not ready yet to distribute an .exe, but sources are available).

Thanks also to leledumbo for his longtime help in this news group.

Regards,
Sam

During development, I found a problem in FPC 2.7.1 http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=24853

 But no one seems to be interested in this issue.

Hi.
I downloaded one of your first versions and made some minor changes to allow different folder, app and package names, and relative paths. It makes things a lot easier. Haven't had any success downloading it from sourceforge.

Regarding the bug, I downloaded the package by truetom which is  41139, and it is fine on that.

[DelphiFreak]

Still in trouble.

The application show's now up in the emulator (also on my real tablet) but crashes when clicking on a button.

The offical location of project laztoapk at sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/laztoapk/

The complete project laztoapk (Version alpha 0.10) with sources and compiled .exe-file.

the exe-file only.

My created project4 ( which still does not work  ) ( somehow the liblclapp.so  is only 2 MBytes while the file from truetom has 4 MBytes)

I am using

Hello DelphiFreak.
I have not used CodeTyphon,so I don't know what's happening.
I suggest that you try to use my laz4android-41139-FPC2.7.1 package to test it.
You can download here:http://sdrv.ms/12cHbIZ.
At least I can compiled it and runs fine.

For me having targetsdkversion=14 in androidmanifest crashes on startup but targetsdkversion=8 works fine. having 14 in other files does doesn't affect it.

Hello TrueTom,

I have downloaded your "laz4android" package as you suggested and extracted to a folder.

But I could not find the tool "lazbuild.exe" or "typhonbuild.exe" or any similar.

My laztoapk tool creates a build-batch like this

c:\codetyphon\typhon\bin32\typhonbuild.exe "C:\LProjects\project4\project4android.lpi"
pause

What's the equivalent in your package?

Thank you.

First:

Configure (SET FPC_BIN_PATH=F:\laz4android) e run "build.bat"...

Greetings!

[DelphiFreak]

Thanks, that worked fine.

After that I called my batch file.

C:\temp\laz4android\lazbuild.exe "C:\LProjects\project4\project4android.lpi"

This results in the following error

C:\temp\laz4android\fpc\2.7.1\bin\i386-win32\arm-linux-androideabi-ld.exe: E:\an
droid\ndk\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib\crtend_so.o: Unknown mandatory EA
BI object attribute 44

I tried  arm-linux-androideabi-4.6 and arm-linux-androideabi-4.8 with the same result.

As I can see from the example of truetom, he used version 4.4.3.

But 4.4.3 is not installed on my machine. Where to get that version from?
It's a real nightmare to configure this tool-chain.

Thank you for your help.

Try just NDK 7....

Greetings!

Yes, finally after installing ndk-r7c it works.
