(SOLVED) Couldn't Get .apk
I developed a small android game with gideros. However, when i exported it from gideros , the project didnt work on eclipse. It says "couldn't find *.apk" . The reason of this happen is not having license?

Deploying your application to Android devices
Open your application with Gideros Studio.
Export your application for Android (File → Export Project).
Open Eclipse IDE and import the exported project to Eclipse using these steps:
Go to File → Import
Choose General → Existing Projects into Workspace
Select root directory and choose the directory you used to export your application. Now the application is imported to Eclipse.
Click on Run → Run. If your device is plugged to your computer, application will be installed to the device and run immediately.

I am getting this eror: "Adb connection Error:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host "
Btw: did you try to run the game over wifi using Gideros Android Player? Usually exporting to Eclipse is one of the last steps during the development life cycle with Gideros Studio.
My project didnt finish but i tried it with Gideros Android Player. It works. I just wanted to learn how to get our apps to our devices. Because i want to send this app to my friends to get suggestions. Anyway, thanks for help , I will try to solve this problem:)

Choose General → Existing Projects into Workspace
Select root directory and choose the directory you used to export your application. Now the application is imported to Eclipse.
Then, instead of clicking Run, I right click on the imported project in Eclipse and select:
Adroid Tools → Export Signed Application Package and follow the prompts to export the apk.
It does need a keystore to do that (I've never got anywhere with unsigned application packages) and for some reason I usually have to use Android Tools → Fix Project Properties before I do the above as I get errors when I import my project, but I do end up with an apk that I can send.
Good luck!
I'm really not sure what I'm doing with Eclipse and sort of blindly do what I outlined above and hope for the best. When it starts going wrong, then I haven't a clue.
I assume that your project didn't show any errors in Eclipse before you tried to export the application? Sorry I can't be of more help.
Have you got the Gideros Player apk installed on your phone? It comes in the original Gideros download and allows you to play the app on your phone over wifi before you export it. If you have, that's the best way to try as it will report errors in the output window.
Keep at it! I went through similar pains to begin with and thought I'd never manage, but I eventually got there. It's worth persevering as Gideros seems really good to me. I now never go near Corona, which I used to use, other than to lift code from old stuff I had written in it.

Why not give a short, maybe 45 min - 1 hour Gideros Studio introductory seminar in your school in a few weeks/months? I believe CS/CE students would be very interested with that. Starting with something small (10-15 slides about what Gideros Studio can do), followed by a small example, and telling about the community would be nice.
