Android 4.3 launching

Not gonna rewrite all the stuff, just gonna post a link to the thread for you take a look: Forum Thread

Summary: cooking, deploying works fine. Launches application, but black screen and quits. Another person with 4.3 also reported the same behavior ( at least worth looking into ). Unexpected thing: tappy chicken from market runs fine on 4.3. Possibility for further investigation: could root the phone and install earlier version of android.

Having the same problem. My game runs fine on the 4.2.1 code except for the Ads (AdMob) and gamecenter not working. It’s said to be fixed in 4.3 but I doubt it as my app/game doesn’t run at all on my devices (Samsung Galaxy S3 / Samsung Galaxy Tab7 2.0) I really hope they get it fixed soon as it makes no sense at all to me.

Hello,

Thank you for your report. I have looked into this issue and can see that we have an investigation going on it. Do you see anything in the device log indicating a crash or failure to load/compile a shader or anything like that? Any additional information may help in our investigation.

Thanks,

Might sound like a dumb question but where can I find the build/package log files → in UDK they ended up in the logs folder but with UE4 I haven’t been able to find them yet.

I’m rebuilding the 4.3 source at this moment with the latest commits added as the 4.3 preview gives me the same problem as described above.

If you can tell me where to find the log files I’m more than happy to go through them and give you the information needed.

Hi KillerSneak,

It’s not a dumb question at all; it’s not an obvious process.

First, plug your device into your computer. Go into the device’s settings and enable USB Debugging.

To put together your mobile device logs, you will need to start by going into your NVPACK/android-sdk-windows/tolls folder and run the “monitor.bat” file.

Next, look for the “LogCat” tab and click the green “+” icon. A menu will appear asking for some information. In the “Log Tag” section, enter “UE4|DEBUG” (Caps matter. You can just copy/paste, but remove the quote marks) and set the Log Level to Debug. The filter name can be whatever.

On the right side of the LogCat tab you will see some icons. Click the “Clear Logs” button next to the Export button. Clear Logs’ icon is a page with a red ‘X’ on it.

Now you are ready to make the logs. Launch the application and let it run to your satisfaction. Select all of the logs generated and then click the “Export Selected Items” button that is next to the “Clear logs” button.

Please let me know if you get stuck anywhere or need any help.
