Hey -

In order to better assist you, I’m going to need for you to provide me the logs from your mobile device.

  • Attach your phone to the computer
  • Go here: C:\NVPACK\android-sdk-windows\tools
  • Open up Monitor.bat
  • Launch the program and save the logs

If you cannot get Monitor.bat to open, please go to:

  • C:\NVPACK\android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\monitor-x86
  • Open up Monitor.exe
  • Follow the instructions above

Make sure that you highlight all of the logs, because they do not save unless they’re highlighted.

Thank you!

I’ve had this issue before and it turned out to be a problem with running on Android 5.x.x on Engine versions greater than 4.12. It is fixable I believe. Apparantly android 5.x.x doesn’t like RelativeLayouts with the android:background element.

So instead of this in \Engine\Build\Android\Java\res\layout-land\donwloader_progress.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    android:background="@drawable/downloadimageh"
	>

remove the android:background element and add an ImageView just below it so you have this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
	>

	<ImageView  
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
			android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            android:src="@drawable/downloadimageh"/>

You will have to do that in all downloader_progress.xml files for the orientations you are using in layout, layout-land and layout-port.

However at this stage, android 5 is too old for us to bother with so we just dropped support for it.

Thanks,
