MiniB3D on Android

[SLotman]

I was experimenting with miniB3D on Android - and everything seemed really fine... until I got a warning on screen about something.

Obviously the game was suspended, and when it returned, the screen was blank. The game was still running on the background (I could hear sounds), but nothing shows on screen.

In the logs, I could find this: E/ViewRootImpl( 762): sendUserActionEvent() mView == null - don't know if its related.

Have anyone found similar issue? If so, how to fix this?

Found a workaround: copied this from the source into "OnResume":

        Graphics3DInit ()
        ReloadAllSurfaces ()
        ReloadAllTextures ()
        TShader.ResetDefaultShader()

And now it works as it should

Great find. Where does someone find a current version of MiniB3d?

 

[SLotman]

I don't think there is one :/

The one I've got is from here: https://github.com/adamredwoods/minib3d-monkey

Hmmm, looking on Google, also found this one: https://github.com/sascha-schmidt217/minib3d-monkey
Seems to have a D3D11 driver (!)

Shall we make a minib3d-cerberus repo? That one hasn't been touched for 5+ years...

Thanks, but adding this directly inside OnResume didn't work completely for me. The lighting was broken on one Android device and on the other device it would crash.

Looking at the MiniB3D's source code for app.cxs they call those functions inside OnRender once after OnResume was triggered.

    Field _was_suspended:Bool = False

    Method OnRender()
        If _was_suspended
            #If TARGET="android" Or TARGET="ios" Or TARGET="winrt"
                Graphics3DInit ()
                ReloadAllSurfaces ()
                ReloadAllTextures ()
                TShader.ResetDefaultShader()
            #Endif
            _was_suspended = False
        End
        'Do your render code...
    End

    Method OnResume:Int()
        _was_suspended = True
        Return 0
    End

Tested by modifying animation_test.cxs that comes with MiniB3D.
