android: ex_ttf example not running

android: ex_ttf example not running

Hi all,

Trying to build and run allegro5 examples for android on ubuntu 21.04.
none of the examples with addon's that rely on allegro dependency libraries seem to work.

eg: ex_ttf.
Tested on motorola moto g5 plus running oreo 8.1.
It's crashing when I run the apk (see logcat below) with "allegro_ttf FAILED".

I tried compiling the allegro .so's myself
and I also tried substituting the precompiled .so's and includes folder from
https://allegro5.org/android/5.2.7.0/allegro_jni_includes.zip
this url, but both are giving the same error.

My script to build the android dependencies is below.

My first thought was the .so's for the addon dependencies also needed to be in the apk. But those .so's aren't in the precompiled binaries zip either, and there's no reference to them in allegro's grade_project.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Pho75.

You need to build FreeType2 for Android before Allegro. I think elias has FT2 binaries around here somewhere.

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

Edgar:

freetype2 is in the build script (See bottom). Both the static and shared libs get created.
If freetype2 weren't present then allegro_ttf addon wouldn't have been built
and neither would ex_ttf apk, which depends on it.

I've updated the original post with the contents of the deps/ folder.
Thanks.

Oh, okay. Sorry. I don't know what's wrong. Maybe elias can help. Try #allegro on irc.libera.chat and see if he's there. NOTE : Freenode IRC chat is gone. They banned us for moving to libera.

I recompiled with debug build and it looks like it's erroring because it can't find libfreetype.so, which is not in the apk.
If the dependencies are needed then why aren't they referenced in the gradle_project by default?
How do I get them in the apk?

In my Android builds (https://github.com/liballeg/android) I statically link freetype so the .so is not needed at runtime at all. Alternatively you can probably add the .so file and load it yourself.

You can see how I compile my version of freetype and allegro_ttf here: https://github.com/liballeg/android/blob/master/install_android.py

Elias:
Thank you! your tip helped me get the ball rolling.
See below for patches I had to apply to fix ex_ttf.

I had to compile freetype like so:

./configure --host $HOST --prefix $PREFIX --without-png --without-harfbuzz --with-zlib=no --with-bzip2=no

Also I didn't read README_android.txt carefully enough, I forgot to remove the version suffixes from the .so's.

But ex_ttf still needed several things to get it to work. After much googling:

1.
I had to manually copy dependency .so's to the jniLibs/armeabi-v7a folder for ex_ttf, which isn't being done for any of the examples.
I haven't figured out how to static compile the dependencies yet, so that this step isn't needed.

ex_ttf depends on examples/data/icon.png which is missing in the apk, so a patch to Allegro5 is needed:

3.
Allegro was still failing to open icon.png once it's in the apk.
So another patch is needed to the gradle project to not compress the data files inside the apk.
These were the file extensions I found in the examples folder, i'm not sure it's complete (demos, etc.), or accurate, since I don't know which file-types the allegro file interface will choke on.
