Flurry plug-in works on Android, or not?

speeder_kidoteca

Well, currently my Corona games use Flurry...

Naturally we decided to use Flurry on Gideros too. So I checked, and a plug-in exists, yay!

Except on the manual, the "Supported platforms:" show an Android icon (and a iOS icon).

But this is on the text: "Flurry is available only for iOS as an external plugin."

So I wonder, what part of the manual is wrong? Flurry works on Android, or not? (And can someone fix the manual?)

Here is the flurry plugin for android

@speeder_kidoteca sorry for confusion, there was a bug in Android Flurry, which will be fixed in next version. For now you can get the fixed binaries here:

speeder_kidoteca

I did not tried downloading the plug-in itself yet, I was asking about the manual...

Your replies made things look even worse, not better O.o

ar2rsawseen

Manual is the same as ios, only installation differs, basically copying the files and including external class in main activity (as all android plugins)

speeder_kidoteca

Aaaah, I see (no, I don't).

But I guess I can figure something out.

You should still fix the manual though.

speeder_kidoteca

Alright, I am trying to make flurry work on android...

It crashes instead.

I followed the install.html that came with the plug-in zip (that by the way, is very badly written, I had to read each sentence 3 or 4 times before understanding... or I THINK I understood, since if I had really understood probably it would work instead of crashing).

ar2rsawseen

1) Dowload Analytics .jar from Flurry and put it in the libs folder
2) Put libflurry.so files in corresponding folders inside libs directory (armeabi to armeabi, armeabi-v7a to armeabi-v7a, x86 to x86)
3) Put GFlurry.java inside src\com\giderosmobile\android\plugins\flurry
4) Open your main activity file, which is located in src\com\giderosmobile\android and put inside
a) System.loadLibrary("flurry"); where all the other libs as System.loadLibrary("gideros"); are loaded
b) "com.giderosmobile.android.plugins.flurry.GFlurry", to a an externalClasses array

Run the app, if its not working, copy log cat output and come here

speeder_kidoteca

Alright, the first step is wrong, but I dunno how to fix it.

Eclipse is not finding or loading the .jar, I get a compilation error

The import com.flurry cannot be resolved FlurryPlugin.java /amazoniagideros/src/com/giderosmobile/android/plugins/flurry line 8

speeder_kidoteca

Alright, I forgot to refresh after step one!

Now I tried running again, and it crashed again:

SinisterSoft

@speeder_kidoteca Do a refresh and a clean in Eclipse. I did exactly how @ar2rsawseen commented in his post and it works (in a game published a week or two ago).

speeder_kidoteca

How I do that?

EDIT: I right clicked the project and clicked "refresh" and then I clicked Project (on the menu on the top) and clicked clean.

Then I tried again, same result.

SinisterSoft

It maybe a problem with Eclipse? On the click section untick clean everything and tick just that project. Then clean again.

ar2rsawseen

@speeder_kidoteca it seems as you told in the other thread, you were using old Gideros version (or old exported project from old Gideros version).

Basically in your error it states that lua is not defined because in new Gideros Lua was separated and is as separate file (liblua.so)
If you do a clean export it should be all ok.

And about Flurry:
Make sure to take the plugin from this link:
http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/comment/34167#Comment_34167

As you have somewhere stated that you have FlurryPlugin.java that sounds incorrect, the real file should be GFlurry.java

SinisterSoft

Yes, FlurryPlugin.java is old, that one had me fooled for 30 mins.

speeder_kidoteca

Indeed, I was using hgvyas123 link instead of your link ar2

Lost a day because of that

But thanks! It seemly works now (well, it does not crash... the logcat is not capturing anything, now I will see why is that)

speeder_kidoteca

Alright, how I figure if flurry is working or not?

Currently I pasted this on the top of my main.lua:

_G.flurry = require "flurry";
print("flurry available", flurry.isAvailable());
if flurry.isAvailable() then
flurry.startSession("MYACTUALAPIKEYHERE");
flurry.logEvent("test_start", {key1="value1", key2="value2", key3="value3", key4="value4", key5="value5", key6="value6", key7="value7", key8="value8", key9="value9", key10="value10", key11="value11", key12="value12",})
end


But I get no print (at all... where Gideros prints stuff when testing on device?) and there is nothing about flurry in the logcat either (Even if I look at it unfiltered).

Also flurry site does not report anything (no event, no session...)

ar2rsawseen

Hello @speeder_kidoteca

simply delete the assets folder inside assets folder in your exported project. That will automatically make the android apk to behave as normal Gideros player (with all your preinstalled plugins), and you will be able to launch your app from Gideros Studio and test it and see prints in the Ouput pane in Gideros Studio

Also note that there should pass some time for event to appear on Flurry website (possibly even a day).

ar2rsawseen

Also I just tested, and new Flurry version does not give out any logcat output, but if putting manual log print in java file it all indicates its working correctly.

Here are my test files, including Gideros project, exported android project with installed Flurry plugin and Gideros Android player with installed Flurry plugin.

But I believe that your set up most probably works correctly.

And where did you guys found the old version? tell me so I can remove all the references to it.

speeder_kidoteca

ar2rsawseen

I got it from this thread, the reply from hgvyas123

Also I am seeing inconsistant results, Flurry site started to get my events, some events it did get, some not, and sometimes it get events ,sometimes not, for now seemly it is random.

Also I need to know where the 10 parameter limit came from, I think my flurry project on Corona has a event with much more than 10 parametes (there is a event that has a parameter for every system variable you can get, for example on iOS the OS number, model number, CPU type, OpenGL variables, etc...)

ar2rsawseen

That is probably an old limitation of Flurry, now in the code (atleast on Android part) I don't see any limit to 10 parameter, all that you pass to the lua function should be delivered to Flurry java plugin for it to handle it further. So if Flurry can handle it, it should work.
If you still have this problem, ping me and I will do more thorough testing

speeder_kidoteca

Well, I could not wait for you to reply and did lots of testing in April 23 after my post (and had lots of patience waiting for flurry site to update).

Yes, anything with more than 10 parameters has... kinda of undefined behaviour.

I read your plug-in source, and then not finding anything there I did tests, and then went to scrounge Flurry site for information.

What I found out is that according to flurry manual having more than 10 parameters the result should be your event still being logged, but with no parameters at all...

The observed behaviour is just random, sometimes the event fails to log, sometimes the entire session fails to log, sometimes it logs as the manual says (it logs without parameters).

This interacted badly with something else (after removing 10 parameter logs from my code, I am still having flurry issues, but much less, I will wait for some days to see if flurry update logs corretly to me figure what is wrong) and the result was hair raising, and part of my woes earlier.

I sugest you update the manual to make VERY, VERY, VERY clear that flurry breaks in unexpected ways if you send more than 10 parameters, or even better, add that limitation to the plug-in with a assert or console message telling you that, because from my tests if you send more than 10 parameters to flurry API, it WILL break (and not even in the way their manual states).

seppsepp

Run the app, if its not working, copy log cat output and come here

I can't get it working. Here is the LogCat output:

What's happening there? Flurry SDK is current 5.1.0

ar2rsawseen

@seppsepp it seems that you are logging event before initiating flurry with appId

lsouchet

@ar2rsawseen I have the same issue as seppsepp.
When debugging, it seems that the error appears when calling FlurryAgent.onStartSession() before any logEvent()
Maybe this is due to the new 5.X SDK, as stated on this page:
https://developer.yahoo.com/flurry/docs/analytics/gettingstarted/android_sdk_upgrade_5/
I tried putting FlurryAgent.init(sActivity.get(), API_KEY) before the FlurryAgent.onStartSession() but I ran into some other error.

Did you manage to make it work with SDK 5.5?

Thanks!

ar2rsawseen

@lsouchet
just updated, try this version:
https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/plugins/flurry/source/Android/src/com/giderosmobile/android/plugins/flurry/GFlurry.java

lsouchet

@ar2rsawseen
Thanks for the patch, I tried it, I now have the same error as when I called init() right before onStartSession().
It makes me think that I used the bin libraries found there:
http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/1663/android-flurry-plugin/p1

Are these the correct libs files?

Does the error tells you anything about what I did wrong?

Thanks in advance!
Here is the error output:
http://pastebin.com/hBs9LDzu

ar2rsawseen

This error does not actually seems to be related to Flurry, but rather to Google Play Services.
Have you set them up correctly?

lsouchet

I thought this was the error:

06-09 10:20:57.159: W/System.err(955): java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.util.List com.flurry.sdk.ip.a()' on a null object reference
06-09 10:20:57.159: W/System.err(955): at com.flurry.sdk.in.g(SourceFile:215)

For the google play services, I imported google_play_services_lib from android sdk into my eclipse workspace and added it as a dependency of my project's properties.

Is there anything else I am supposed to do?

ar2rsawseen

It is warning (W/System.err(955))

so I assume Flurry wants to catch and report this error, thats why there is a misleading flurry stack trace

The real error is:

06-09 10:20:57.319: E/AndroidRuntime(955): java.lang.IllegalStateException: A fatal developer error has occurred. Check the logs for further information.

06-09 10:20:57.319: E/AndroidRuntime(955): at com.google.android.gms.common.internal.zzi$zza.zzc(Unknown Source)

can you try to remove Flurry and build app again?

lsouchet

Okay, I tried building it without any flurry plugins and I got the error. I'll open a thread for gaming interface.
