SCUMM Problem on Tablet

Post by vicente92 »

I downloaded the version available today from scumm in Google Store from my tablet, along with the plugin to play the game "The Day of the Tentacle". I have no problem to download and install it, but when I start it I get the first image of the bar program load and full load when the application is turned off and leaves a message on the tablet: SCUMM The application has been disabled, org.scummvm.scummvm process problem.I mean, you can not start the scumm, although the installed. What could be the problem?

Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish

Firstly, we have Spanish developers and Google Translate, so if you want to repeat your message in Spanish, this may help in future if you feel your English is not sufficient.

I am generally getting your meaning, but I don't think I am clear on your problem. I think you may be referring to this known issue:

ie. The loading bar appears, then the screen goes black or the bar appears very still... Just wait 30-40 seconds and the GUI should appear. We are not exactly sure of the cause, it may vary, but it is likely associated with loading of various assets at startup and the archive file listing functions within Android on some devices being painfully slow... though it could also be a GL issue similar to HTC_FAIL.

I don´t think is the same problem. In my case, after completion of the loading bar, the application closes in 2 seconds aproximandamente, I have no problem with him to stay 50 seconds with black screen. Maybe someone has thought the same problem and is there a version for tablet android SCUMM modified for this case, it would be quite useful because I've never done a lot of programming and I have no idea.

But it must be a problem when performing any function in org.scummvm.scummvm, as well as informs. I saw in the code that there is a folder that is named in the file. Must be a fairly important when executing the content.

AH... I think I might know what your problem is.

By PC-Android 4.0.3, you mean the tablet is an x86 tablet with Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) ported to it.

If so, ScummVM will NOT work with this.

The Android port of ScummVM uses native code and is compiled to work on targets with ARM CPUs only ie. most mobile phones and tablets. It will not work on Android devices which use an
x86 or MIPS processor. This may change in future, but it is unlikely to happen soon.

Now, the message is other, when scumm colses, the tablet informs that : the problem is in com.android.vending

I see errors in the code, sorry not put with image but not to be saved in the application aLogcat (this is where I think may be the problem in the long list of codes that are run from the beginning to the failure of the application, attachment not for the reason that I said to)
.......

Any programmer knows to read it?

We now have experimental daily builds for Android x86 here:
http://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html

Feel free to test, though you may have issues as these are very experimental.
