It's like every time I look away from the screen, and then look back. There's a new Gideros version

Nice work @atilim

GregBUG · September 2012

wow!!! Thanks !!!! and Nice work @atilim

BTW:

is possible more info on:

> Feature: Extended the plugin system ?

atilim · September 2012

@ar2rsawseen

Most probably, this is the last bugfix release of 2012.08 line. Don't afraid, we won't continue releasing this frequently

atilim · September 2012

@GregBUG there isn't much change on the plugin system. These new functions are introduced:

void g_registerOpenUrlCallback(void(*openUrl)(lua_State*, const char *));
void g_registerEnterFrameCallback(void(*enterFrame)(lua_State*));
void g_registerSuspendCallback(void(*suspend)(lua_State*));
void g_registerResumeCallback(void(*resume)(lua_State*));
void g_registerForegroundCallback(void(*foreground)(lua_State*));
void g_registerBackgroundCallback(void(*background)(lua_State*));

so that you can register to application lifecycle. Also on Android side, external Java classes can receive Activity lifecycle events. These additions are mostly because of upcoming plugins.

alexzheng · September 2012

great!
Will this two functions available later?
JavaVM *g_getJavaVM();
JNIEnv *g_getJNIEnv();

And most api in android needs a context for argument,so if the activity itself can be accessed directly will be very handy.

Thank you so much, @atilim

I just try it a while ago and I got an issue with my current project. Some images do not displayed on the screen. It worked fine on the previous version (2012.08.2).

I suspect that there are some issues with Bitmap, Texture, or TexturePack class, but this issue only appears on one scene. The other scenes are fine.

OZApps · September 2012

@Atilim, it is difficult keepin gup with the updates that fast ;(
Building the device version (I am laaazy)

ar2rsawseen · September 2012

@alexzheng
JavaVM *g_getJavaVM();
JNIEnv *g_getJNIEnv();

seem to work fine in this version and even in previous one

atilim · September 2012

@zaniar it's interesting. I haven't changed anything on graphics side (except getBounds()). can you isolate the problem and send me a simple example? or can you describe more?

alexzheng · September 2012

@zaniar is right,the position of the bitmaps is wrong.

atilim · September 2012

@alexzheng can you give an example? still I couldn't catch the error.

alexzheng · September 2012

maybe I have found something useful for you.
This happens when you setposition using the getWidth and getHeight functions.

These two function return different values.

When you call them in init and in onEnterEnd the values are different.

atilim · September 2012

thank you. getWidth() and getHeight() uses getBounds() internally. let me check now.

alexzheng · September 2012

Maybe this is caused the width and height can not be determined when the texture have not be loaded completely.

atilim · September 2012

hmm.. I don't think this is the reason. I've tested many times but still couldn't see the bug.

zaniar · September 2012

@atilim sorry for being not informative. Currently, I don't have much time to do some experiment regarding this issue. Maybe it just like what @alexzheng mentioned, or maybe not.

I'll let you know once I got some clues

alexzheng · September 2012

wait a moment, let me write a simple demo

atilim · September 2012

@zaniar and thank you for reporting this issue.
@alexzheng oh great! After I read @zaniar's post, I've spent nearly 2 hours to catch a tiny clue.

alexzheng · September 2012

It's hard to reproduce it, just take at look at the code of my little game,I have email to you

atilim · September 2012

I got it.

ar2rsawseen · September 2012

After @zaniar posted this issue, I went through my apps and prototypes and could not notice anything different. So its probably some specific case.

BTW. did anyone figure out how to get app life cycle events on external classes?
There is an array of Strings now in main application activity, where you probably list all external classes.
I've tried providing: ExternalClass, com/giderosmobile/android/ExternalClass and com.giderosmobile.android.ExternalClass and created onCreate, onStart, etc methods inside it, but still this methods are not called.

atilim · September 2012

@ar2rsawseen "com.giderosmobile.android.ExternalClass" is the correct one and the functions onCreate etc. should be static.

atilim · September 2012

With the previous versions, getWidth() and getHeight() had returned larger (a.k.a wrong) values than it should be (when there are children attached that sprite). Now it should return correct width/height. Maybe this is the problem. Still I'm looking at @alexzheng's example.

atilim · September 2012

update: if a sprite hierarchy has a MovieClip as a children, getBounds() (also getWidth() and getHeight()) returns wrong result.

alexzheng · September 2012

Wonderful!
Available now?

alexzheng · September 2012

Also, I remind that call self:getWidth in init function may be just return 0 sometimes.

atilim · September 2012

Wonderful!
Available now?

Most probably today.

Also, I remind that call self:getWidth in init function may be just return 0 sometimes.

When you don't add your MovieClip as a children, does this problem occur?

alexzheng · September 2012

No MovieClip.
So I delayed call this in addedToStage event handler to work around.

atilim · September 2012

hmm.. I see.. then I should investigate more.

alexzheng · September 2012

When I get this issue next time, I will tell you more detail.
Now I just can not remember too much.

Howdy, Stranger!
