* Little sidequest * It turns out that string array writing was never implemented. I added that now, please try it here: http://www.zgameeditor.org/files/ZGameEditor_beta.zip Here is an example that writes an array to a file: string[] a = {"line 1", "line 2", "line 3",...

You can make changes in the Java files without me having to build anything, right? Please try what works best. I trust your judgement

So I think it is set in zgameeditor-master\Build\android\ZgeAndroid.pas: I just found out the same. String dataPath = context.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/"; I think it is safe to change this to something else. Question is what path is recommended to use for modern Android apps?

New attempt.

I had a feeling exename would not be correct but I wasn't sure . Please try this new build.

This seems appears to me as the simplest solution. Can you please make a pull request with this?

See attached example for how to play an ogg file.

However the SampleImport only plays embedded files so it does not use ReadAssetFile.Try an example that uses the File component.

For Android I only implemented the part of WebOpen that simply opens a webpage in a browser. Such if you have a button in your game that says "Visit my homepage" and you click it and it opens the browser. This is when the "InBrowser" property of the WebOpen component is true. The...

So I've been trying to fix the warnings: "Converting pointers to signed integers may result in wrong comparison results and range errors, use an unsigned type instead." You could try if changing to NativeUInt helps with the crashes. But otherwise I would not bother. The Delphi compiler do...

Gemini is 100% correct here. I'm very impressed it found this bug.

This bug is not present in ZPlatform_Win32 so not sure why the Android version was wrong.

Ok I will try to support you the best I can like before. It could be that each Android update has even worse OpenGL backward compatibility.

Almost a two hour video, I didn't realize this game had so much content . Looks like some interesting level design and cool bosses. I'm impressed you had the perseverance to finish this project.

You can try delaying the InitApp call in ZgeAndroid to NativeDrawFrame. This should help get rid of the messages about no current GL context.

About Zge.Java: I think the logic is that it copies it to the app directory only if it is newer than the destination. To avoid overwriting any app-specific changes. It seems the built in Android OpenGL logging have no effect because I can see no such lines in the log. I guess they have removed this ...
