Hi every one, may be this is not the right place but I don't know where to ask this, I new about Gideros and Eclipse compiler stuff, few days a go searching a good 2D game maker I find this program (Gideros Mobile) and looks good to me, making some test in GM find that it's very easy to make some basic game functions (movement, color change, etc.) even I could test it with my smartphone (Android) everything was OK but when I try to make an APK the stuff was not so easy, searching on the web find some info about how to import the GM files in to Eclipse to make the APK, and when I do the steps showed I got this errors:
- AndroidManifest.xml -
-- String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value 'keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize') --
-- tag appears after tag --
- MobileTestActivity.java -
-- The method getActionIndex() is undefined for the type MotionEvent --
-- The method getActionMasked() is undefined for the type MotionEvent --
I try to fix that but no results I don't know what to do, if any one can tell me about a good tutorial or how to do that, that will be very nice, thanks in advance.

Most probably you only need to install Android 4.0.3 SDK. It seems you have Android 2.1 right now.
You just need to replace your application icons and nothing else.
I'd say, focus your efforts on the mechanics, sound, graphics, first and stick with the Player.
-AndroidManifest.xml -
-- String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value 'keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize') --
I sincerely don't understand, What can I do?, thanks in advance.

Right-click your project, select Export..., choose Android > Export Android Application. But in order to create an .apk file, you should create a keystore. There is a plenty of information :-B here: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html
Here is an article about SceneManager class:

And here is a template, where scenes are used:

It is truly awesome for game development. I am having a problem creating an APK that works in my android phone (or emulator).
I have installed the player on my phone and I connect to to my phone and the player via a WI FI connection.
I can connect to the "player" and play the game via the Gideros Studio.
This work great. I am happy with the game play and I want to export it and create an APK (so that I can put it in the Market)
I export my project from Gideros Studio and I open eclipse.
I import the project into eclipse with great ease.
I had to run the "fix project properties" from the android tools. I am not sure what the reason, however eclipse wanted to do this. I now have no errors.
When I "run" the project in the android emulator and the apk installs and opens.
Soon as it opens, it then forces a close:
The error "The application has stopped unexpectedly."
I then try to export the project and create an APK. I go thru the process, create a keystore and I upload the file to my phone and I have the same experience.
Am I missing a step? Thank you in advance for any help.
If possible, can you send me (atilim@giderosmobile.com) the .apk file that I can track down the error.
