ARMv4 support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

-> What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download the application on the market.
2. Download additionnal components using the application.
3. Use the "Next" button when it's done.

-> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The program should work. It crashes instead (no forceclose, nothing at all).

-> What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using The Robot (similar to Sciphone N19) from Chinavasion, Android 1.5.

-> Please provide any additional information below.
I attached the log.

Typical crash from an unsupported device.

Please use the following instructions :
[NewHardwareSupportRequest] to make me possible to build for this specific ROM.

Thanks in advance

I've followed those instructions, but the other app force-closes too. I 
attached the log.

It may be related to my CPU, which is armv4 (some libs aren't supported, that's 
why
some apps like Sipdroid don't work).

Sorry, there where a mistake in MediaGetLib.apk for android 1.5. I've just 
fixed it.
You can try to run the new version.

I hope it will fix the problem for you (i'm not really confident in the way .so 
are
attached - as application/binary, I hope that android 1.5 email application 
consider
this type as a valid attachement for emails).

If it still doesn't work, i'll write an alternate solution on the wiki based on 
the
SDK ( 
adb pull /system/lib/libmedia.so .
adb pull /system/lib/libcutils.so .
adb pull /system/lib/libutils.so .
).

For the cpu, I think that, since it's ARM architecture, it will work once I will
re-build for your phone media libs.
Besides, I think that sipdroid is not compliant with android 1.5, my app should 
be (I
have tested it with the phone of a collegue under android 1.5). Unfortunately 
from a
SDK point of view make an app compatible with android 1.5 is not really trivial 
and
there is a big gap between 1.5 and 1.6. So I guess that sipdroid devs had 
decided to
not support this sdk. But I think that there is still a lot of user that are 
using
1.5, so I'll try to support it as long as it will be possible.

Thanks

It is still crashing. I attached the log again.

I attached those libraries too.

Many thanks for the libs. It's exactly what I need to make the build.

I attached a version of the application (with a bundled native lib compiled for 
your
device). You'll need to uninstall previously installed version.

If everything is ok, the application should start without trying to download 
anything
and without crashing. If it redirects you to the wiki page, your guess was 
right,
there is an issue with the CPU version, and I fear that it will be really 
difficult
to support this kind of device.

I'll look closer the problem with MediaGetLib and android 1.5. (I'll open a new 
issue
for this).

Thanks for your tries, but unfortunately it still crashes. ;(
It didn't try to download anything though, as expected. It simply launches with 
a
black screen, then crashed a few seconds after.

I attached the log again.
