allright, I can try ask him. As I mentioned, I can start the game, but system must provide information stored in shortcut. If system sends empty ID then I dont know which game to start…
Hi,
Its available for devices with android 5+. Tv devicex have it enabled by default, others can enable it in global settings. Meanwhile I received feedback from one-two people and it works:)
Unfortunately this is probably not possible. It’s all about android activities lifecycle and launch mode (magic dosbox uses singleTask for all activities). You must close mDosbox with back button or X. If you are interested look here :
Magic Dosbox has two activities. First is main menu. Pressing game in menu finishes first activity and starts second activity (game).
Minimizing with home button does not close application immediately, in this case is closed by system when system needs more resources.
If you press icon from launcher then launcher sends newIntentEvent to main menu activity. And if intent contains game hash then is automatically closed main menu and started game (this is handled by mDosbox). This means you go always to main menu, you only don’t see it. Something is handled by system automatically, something by launcher and I can work only with result. If you press the icon from launcher then is on system what is started – it may start new main menu activity or it may resume to main menu. Which action is picked is handled by system. If is started new main menu activity and is present game hash is in startup parameters (inserted by launcher) then I start game else is started main menu.
Hello,
unfortunately, two gamepads are not supported now. But be solved in one of next updated, because it is often requested.
Best regards,
TonyThank you, cool. At first side it looks like code what I use. But I see there small difference. Maybe this is the clue.
I’ll look at this tomorrow or so, will write you email
Edit : the only one difference is flag “duplicate”, false what I set. But I see this progran has two ways how to create shortcuts. One is somehow directly from launcher and one is from program. How do you do it?
Can you post exact version of your launcher, will try it on my device
this ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionlauncher.playstore&hl=en
In last version I implemented special blue cursor what allows controling only with analog stick. And I didnt get feedback how it works. Didnt you try it please?
All right, today is 16th and I have something to do now, but next week I’ll look at this. This will be last change to v46, because I want release it at beginning of December and I need some times for tests.
No, game profiles are not stored like android recommend, they are not deleted when is application cleared or uninstalled. But profiles can be deleted with cleaning applications (beware).
But for every case do backup in main menu:)
Maybe it never work correctly…you wrote you didn’t restart device for a long time, so maybe you only didn’t notice that. Can’t you somehow detect name of the launcher? Can you try another launcher for a test?
Hi,
thank you for report. This is very weird. Can you confirm that after restart are all icons renamed to “Magic Dosbox”?
Please what is your device for, which android version you have and which launcher do you use(do you use custom launcher?). Problems like this may be related to launcher bugs. Maybe your launcher requires to store some additional information.
Best regards,
TonyHi,
Sorry, but analog stick supports keypad, it doesn’t work? You can set there any key you need and you can enable diagonals flag.Edit : Aaaaaha, probably it uses number 7, 9, 1 and 3 for diagonals, right? You need 8 way joystick like has “Master of puppets”…Can you try first the virtual joystick? It works fine? If yes, then I can look at this.
Tony
