r197 GUI example crashes instantly on Android and XNA

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Just compile and run for Android. (Either target)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- It crashes instantly. In debug mode, it hangs and the stack trace never seems 
to finish generating.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Monkey v42(b) + Diddy r178, compiling on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
- Running on Motorola Droid X /w Liberty 1.5 ROM (Android 2.2.1).

Please provide any additional information below.
- While I love how it looks when compiling for HTML5, I suppose I'll have to 
wait a little before getting it to work on Android. I didn't have a lot of time 
to troubleshoot exactly what's causing this problem (running late for work), 
but I'll be sure to take a stab at it when I get home.

Just been testing the new GUI stuff myself:

* HTML5 - Fine
* Flash - Fine
* GLFW - Fine (although a tad slow to load)
* XNA - Fail
    Error : Input string was not in a correct format.
    Error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
* Android - Fail
     java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

Monkey is getting better ... but still a long way off being perfect!

Agreed.  All monkey code should compile and run on all targets flawlessly, or 
it has failed its goal of being platform-agnostic. :P
I shall look at this when I get home.

Samah may want to change some other stuff, but this is fixed in r179.

Reopening this bug as it is happening again using r197 and Monkey v43.

It seems there are a bunch of objects being instantiated in the LoadSkin call 
stack.  I'm trying to weed it out at the moment.

Android: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that 
has not called Looper.prepare()
This stack trace is displayed because Mojo is unable to display the error 
dialog for the actual problem.  Once I added some actual logging, I was able to 
determine that it's an issue with parsing an empty string.

XNA: Error : Input string was not in a correct format.
A slightly more useful error message that confirms it.

For now you should compile Android in release mode due to a possible memory 
leak in  debug mode for Mojo.  I think the garbage collection spam is from 
that, although I have optimised LoadSkin a lot.

XML files fixed as of r198.

Just wanted to confirm this bug. My Game run nicely as HTML5 and Flash but 
crashes as soon as I run the game on my android phone. I am using monkey 42b 
and diddy r179. I am updating to versions 43 and r199 now with my fingers 
crossed
