Build successful, but game won't launch

Hello,
I was trying to break in development on an android platform by building the supplied mobile example, SWING NINJA, on my android tablet, partly to see what settings I’d need for our projects.

I’ve included the build log below. It built successfully but when It launched on the tablet it came up with a black screen that minimized out shortly after. The program ran in the background for a bit. Returning to the program resulted in a prompt to wait for unreal to respond or close it out. Ultimately it remain black until I closes it or when I attempt another build or when I close it.

My tablet is an Asus ME172V and it runs android 4.1.1 I’ve tired the various texture compressions, I.e. ETC1, ETC2, etc. Same result. Black screen

I hope this is enough information, best regards. I can provide the log if you like but it’s quite long

UPDATE. This behavior is not limited to Swing Ninja. I made a small project and tried to build it onto my tablet and got the same-- black screen UE4 on the tablet-- result

You scaring people off with this wall of text, use pastebin for huge logs

thanks. I’ll wit hold the log for now.

Would you mind re-adding the log by uploading it as a text file?

It’s to large by one mb. Here is a link you can follow to a drop box Dropbox - log.txt - Simplify your life

Nothing stands out to me from the successful builds. Would you be able to get the game logs off the device and post them here?

I’m not exactly sure how to get you the device logs. I now just set Ue4 as the debugger on the tablet.

I’ll go google that.

Okay I’m finding it more than a little difficult to pull the log from a 4.1.1 Android. Any suggestions?

We’re working on expanding our Android compatibility, but for now we can only guarantee performance on a limited range of devices. Unfortunately, your tablet is not on our list of supported devices.
