about
We started to port the löve api to android
- the goal is to create a launcher to run .love files from sdcard
- and to enable building standalone love games without sdcard
- to build a standalone without need to access sdcard, you might have to install android sdk (we use eclipse) and add the needed files as resources, or the .love file to be run as resource
- unless of course someone has an idea how to append a .love file to the launcher app, like it is possible on win/linux, see help wanted section
- successfully tested on android 2.1 (OpenGL ES 1.0) with apk file below
- tech : we are implementing the löve2d api in a java app made with the android sdk using luaj for lua and opengl es for rendering
- still early work in progress, a lot of the api hasn't been ported yet, and most existing löve games won't work out of the box.
- future plans : since most existing games assume keyboard, we might add an options-menu to make a few keys available in a corner of the display for touch-screen use
- future plans : we might upgrade to OpenGL ES 1.1 to use vertex buffers for better perfomance at some point, but not anytime soon
download
- love-android.apk (apk, 280kb, android 2.1 and later)
- copy .love's like cloud demo to /mnt/sdcard/love/clouds.love and similar, or you'll just get an empty launcher window

WE NEED HELP!
- playing sound/music when loading from .love currently requires unzipping to temp file on sdcard, we might need help with someone very experience in android sdk to avoid that :
- android:MediaPlayer and SoundPool demand a file handle or filepath, they don't accept inputstream of buffered data from the zip.
- i tried unpacking to temp files, but just got permission denied so far, maybe i need to specify a different folder for that
- maybe android.media.AudioTrack ? lowlevel buffer-feeding

luaj bug remove-from-table-during-iteration : http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3430986&group_id=197627&atid=962226(partially solved)-
workaround added by hagish : res/raw/pairs_hack.lua : pairs() should work, but next() might still cause problems if used directly(partially solved)
-
- any idea for how to simplify packaging like win/linux appending a .love directly to the end of the executable to create a standalone without sd-card access ?
- anyone with experience using that market thing up for a chat ? me(ghoul) = total smartphone noob =)
-
anyone wanna help implement love.graphics particleSystem ? - anyone wanna help with that box2d mapping ?
- anyone wanna help with extracting ttf font letters/glyphs to image so we can render them ?
- anyone wanne help with creating a config dialog for the launcher to map a few keyboard keys to a corner of the screen for touch-screen play ?
additional api
- phone specific stuff to be exposed via love.mobile (rather than love.android, since there's a lot of overlap)
- loading from resources embedded into the app/pack rather than from filepath on sdcard
- multi-touch screen
- accelerometer, gravity sensor, gps
- maybe opening browser ?
- maybe audio-recording, camera input ?
