Setup v4 on Android (Cocos2d-X) with Eclipse!

Ozden79

Hello There,

After finishing the iOS version, it's now time to prepare the Androd version of my game and I'm already lost on how to setup Photon for it. The offline docs only mention Photon setup but I believe it's already obsolete because it points add some non-available paths like this :

$(call import-add-path-optional, $(shell pwd)/../../../../Photon-cpp/src/android)

I did a quick search but there doesn't seem to be any solid information for Photon v4 so could you please kindly provide a guidance on how to modify my apps Anroid.mk properly to include Photon?

Below is my current Android.mk file and it aborts compilation on "$(call import-module,chat-cpp-prebuilt)" :

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
LOCAL_PHOTON_ROOT := $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../../../Samples/Photon/Photon-AndroidNDK-Sdk_v4-1-2-0

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

$(call import-add-path,$(LOCAL_PATH)/../../cocos2d)

$(call import-add-path,$(LOCAL_PATH)/../../cocos2d/cocos)
$(call import-add-path,$(LOCAL_PATH))

Hi @Ozden79.

Below is the latest version of Android.mk from demo_loadBalancing like it is shipping with the 4.1.3.0 SDK package.

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
PHOTON_SDK_ROOT := $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../../..

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE := demoLoadBalancing
#VisualGDBAndroid: AutoUpdateSourcesInNextLine
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := ../../src/NetworkLogic.cpp AndroidNetworkLogic.cpp main.cpp

LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(PHOTON_SDK_ROOT) ../inc/ ../../shared/inc
LOCAL_CFLAGS := -DEG_DEBUGGER -D__STDINT_LIMITS -D_EG_ANDROID_PLATFORM
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := loadbalancing-cpp-static-prebuilt photon-cpp-static-prebuilt common-cpp-static-prebuilt
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

$(call import-add-path, $(PHOTON_SDK_ROOT)/LoadBalancing-cpp/lib)

$(call import-module,loadbalancing-cpp-prebuilt)

I hope that helps in how to modify your Android.mk file.

Thanks, it seems I fixed it for now but will let you know if something else happens.
