Mike,
How is this project (redoing the Android 6.01 apk)
going?
A related question for any Csounder on
Android:
All Android apps for Csound5 and Csound6 work for
me fine on smartphones and tablets *7" and above*.
Recently, however, I purchased a 4.3" Proscan
PT4311 tablet (about the size of a smartphone). Csound5 works fine on it; but no
version of Csound6 does. Csound6 installs fine, but when the icon is touched,
only the very top panel appears momentarily and the screen immediately reverts
to the home screen. (This is true even of the current Csound 6.02 app, which is
only 3.3MB.)
1) Is a log available anywhere on the device that
would indicate the issue?
2) What could be the cause?
One possibility relates to screen resolution:
neither for Csound5 or 6 does the Proscan display all the widgets on a single
screen. (It shows about 5 sliders, and that is all.) With Csound5, however, the
entire screen scrolls and all controls *can* be accessed (if with difficulty).
With Csound6, the widget display is fixed - only the console output scrolls
(below, and here off-screen). Could perhaps the locked and partial widget
display be causing the problem? (On all other devices - including smartphones -
the widget display is complete.)

There are apps that display system log file contents, such as Android System Info. Not sure which one is best so you may have t hunt google’s play store for the one that you like the most. All the best, Jacques

Hi, Art
I made some experiments with the Csound-android-6 first time today. One thing I noticed that in the Android manifest file of the CsoundAndroid sources the minimal android version required was set to is API-11 (Android 3.0). I have an old smart phone with android 2.3 and The official Csound6.apk pacakge it did not work for me their either. I changed the required minimum in the project sources to 10 and then it worked.
If you have eclipse and android development kit installed, it is easy to fix: download http://sourceforge.net/projects/csound/files/csound6/Csound6.02/Csound-android-6.02.0.zip/download
and change in every project file AndroidManifest.xml <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11" />
to
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11" />
(or I can send my apk for you to try)
BUT
I think the minimum requirement is set for a reason, there might be things that don't work with lower android. Mike, Victor, Steven, can you tell?
thanks, tarmo

This used to be set to minSdkVersion=9. I looked up in git and it was changed in commit bad32252f664406b9da468f7814d94ceef1a0c63 by John ffitch on June 1, 2013. I don't know the rationale behind it, as the commit message says "array opcode". Perhaps it was a commit in error? Other than that, this shouldn't be an issue for Art's device, as it has Android 4.0 I believe. On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 5:57 PM, Michael Gogins |
