Game Activity + Game Window

[Zambiorix]

On Android, has the initialisation of the AndroidGameActivity changed? In alle examples I see the code below:

But I get 2 exceptions when trying to build.

1. Game1.Activity has no setter anymore When removing that line and debugging, I noticed that the activity is set automatically.
2. adding the game.Window to the frameLayout results in build error

Sources.Android/Activity.cs(68,11): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for Android.Views.ViewGroup.AddView(Android.Views.View)' has some invalid arguments Sources.Android/Activity.cs(68,31): error CS1503: Argument#1' cannot convert Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameWindow' expression to typeAndroid.Views.View'

The code below used to work on cocos2d xna clone a few months old

public class Program : AndroidGameActivity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
    {
        base.OnCreate(bundle);

        Game1.Activity = this;
        var game = new Game1();

        var frameLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
        frameLayout.AddView(game.Window);
        this.SetContentView(frameLayout);

        //SetContentView(game.Window);
        game.Run(GameRunBehavior.Asynchronous);
    }
}

when building the android test solution "cocos2d-xna.Tests.Android", I get the same errors ..

Yes, MonoGame has recently changed the manner in which we get the activity context. Now we do it via a more elegant API that uses the Activity assigned to the game. You will see some commits from me that addressed that in our source tree on GitHub here.

From CCLabel-Android:

if (_paint == null) { var display = Game.Activity.WindowManager.DefaultDisplay; var metrics = new DisplayMetrics(); display.GetMetrics(metrics);

Closing - non-issue for us. Just a refactoring change in MonoGame.

Make sure you update the submodule (MonoGame) so you get the latest code from there.

I don't understand how this can be closed?

I made a complete new clone from the cocos2d-xna project including all submodules. Then I try to to build the cocos2d-xna test example. That fails for the android example...

See the included image above.

How must I set the content view in the android game activity ? Your examples are not adapted ..

Can you please run your Android test example in cocos2d-xna? (cocos2d-xna.Tests.Android) A fresh clone with all submodules updated does not work, the test example is broken. The problem is in the OnCreate of the main activity ..

        Game1.Activity = this;
        var game = new Game1();

        var frameLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
        frameLayout.AddView(game.Window);
        this.SetContentView(frameLayout);

How must I setup the Game + activity correctly with the new changes in MonoGame? (MonoGame does have tests for iOS & Windows etc, but I cannot find any for Android ??)

Your answer above with code: I fail to see how that solves my problem ?

From CCLabel-Android:

if (_paint == null) { var display = Game.Activity.WindowManager.DefaultDisplay; var metrics = new DisplayMetrics(); display.GetMetrics(metrics);

Here is what you need:

var game = new Game1();

        var frameLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
        frameLayout.AddView((View)game.Services.GetService(typeof(View)));
        this.SetContentView(frameLayout);

        //SetContentView(game.Window);
        game.Run(GameRunBehavior.Asynchronous);

Forgot to push up my changes to the tests .... probably was waiting for my Android license to finally allow me to actually USE it.

https://github.com/Cocos2DXNA/cocos2d-xna/commit/e1b087f4a105678313f97e61a8885c51585d66ec

Templates and test code has been updated. Sorry for all of the confusion.
