I can't install TIC80 version 1.1 on my Android device and the keyboard arrow keys don't respond.

[kuromame96]

Hello.

First of all, I would like to state that I am not good at English. It may be difficult to understand the meaning.

I recently decided to install the Pro version of Tic80 version 1.1 from itch.io on my FireHD 8 2018. However, I was not able to install it.
I read on an internet information site that it can be installed using Split APKs Installer.
So, I also tried to see if I could install it using this app.
However, an error message appeared and I was unable to install it.
I got an error message like this.

INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113

Can you solve this problem?

It was also possible to install it on another Android device.
However, I cannot operate it using the arrow keys on my keyboard.
Arrow keys respond properly in TIC80 version 1.0.
The arrow keys respond normally if I use a different keyboard, but I like the keyboard I'm currently using, so I'd like to see this issue fixed as well.
The model number is ROYAL KLUDGE Model: RK61.
Thank you for your help in fixing the problem.

I found the following issue at the SAI repository: Aefyr/SAI#91

Possibly it might help in diagnosing the FireHD 8 2018 issue.

Regarding arrow keys and the keyboard, possibly related: #2292

I'll check the repository you suggested.
Thank you very much!

Also, you can try to install fdroid version https://f-droid.org/ru/packages/com.nesbox.tic/

It means that if you rewrite that line, you may be able to get 32bit support.
I'll try building it myself.

@kuromame96 Please let us know the results of your building attempt.

Still preparing to build.

The software required for installation is presented to me and I am currently installing it in order.

The installed software is not recognized for some reason if it is left as is, so I put it in the folder that contains Platform-Tools.

If you do this, it will somehow recognize you.

I'm using pretty aggressive methods to prepare for the build, so it's doubtful whether it will be successful or not.

Thanks for the status update.

I tried here [1] and looked inside the resulting app-release.apk file:

Archive:  ../app-release.apk
  inflating: META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/app-metadata.properties  
  inflating: classes.dex             
 extracting: lib/arm64-v8a/libtic80.so  
 extracting: lib/armeabi-v7a/libtic80.so  
  inflating: AndroidManifest.xml     
 extracting: res/CG.png              
 extracting: res/D2.png              
 extracting: res/SD.png              
 extracting: res/jy.png              
 extracting: res/u3.png              
 extracting: resources.arsc          

I see a file path named lib/armeabi-v7a/libtic80.so inside.

I don't have a device to test with though (^^;

[1] I followed something close to the following steps on an Ubuntu machine:

## basic tic-80 dependencies
sudo apt-get install git cmake ruby-full libgles1-mesa-dev libglu-dev -y

## for android
sudo apt-get install sdkmanager

## usual TIC-80 steps
git clone https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80
cd TIC-80
git submodule init
git submodule update

## android-specific steps
cd build/android

### user-oriented android-sdk installation setup
mkdir $HOME/android-sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/android-sdk
yes | sdkmanager --licenses

### edit app/build.gradle so that there is a line with: abiFilters 'arm64-v8a', 'armeabi-v7a'

### build -- this step seems to automatically install necessary pieces (e.g. ndk)
./gradle assembleRelease

### copy resulting .apk file to /tmp
cp app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk /tmp

The steps to build using Docker in the TIC80 readme were difficult for me.
Thank you for writing the build procedure on Ubuntu.
I'm currently using Windows, so I'd like to install Ubuntu and try building.

No need to set the build environment, GitHub Actions can build it for you https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/actions
Just make a fork of the repo, change the code, and push.

[kuromame96]

i will try!
thank you!

[kuromame96]

Before using GitHub Actions, I first created an Ubuntu environment.

As a result, the build was successful!

I installed the latest version of Ubuntu, so the software I needed was from Ubuntu 18.04.
Other than that, I followed the steps taught by @sogaiu and succeeded!
Thanks to @sogaiu for the steps to build Android on Ubuntu!

However, there was no need to rewrite app/build.gradle.
'armeabi-v7a' was already added to the abiFilters item.
Perhaps the developer saw my discussion and fixed it.
However, I wanted the Pro version quickly, so building it myself was worth it.

Thank you for taking my opinion into account!
