Hi, first of all I have been able to compile other apps to Android so I believe I have everything set up correctly.

I have recently ported my game Hack, Slash, Loot to monkey x and it compiles and works fine in glfw, Flash, html5, and iOS. But when I've tried to compile it for Android I'm getting the following error.

-compile:
    [javac] Compiling 3 source files to /Users/dave/Dropbox/hsl_mobile/hsl_mobile.build/android/bin/classes
    [javac] /Users/dave/Dropbox/hsl_mobile/hsl_mobile.build/android/src/com/monkeycoder/monkeygame/MonkeyGame.java:30281: error: code too large

Done.

Can anybody help decipher what is wrong as I'm not much of an Android bod myself?

You and Monkey have managed to exceed Java's 64k method limit.

What are you doing in InitMask? Can you reduce the number of lines?

Hmm… It seems my unorthodox coding style has come back to bite me. I have reduced the function size and it compiles, but now I'm getting a runtime error.

E/AndroidRuntime(11067): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime(11067): java.lang.NullPointerException

I will need to investigate further to get more details.

Ok I've solved this now. Apparently in Java an array doesn't initialise as a Null array like it does in the other targets. You have to allocate an array of length 0 to it to become a Null array.

Global myArray:MyClass[]

If myArray Then Print "Not null"  'This will crash

myArray=New MyClass[0]

If myArray Then Print "Not null"  'This will not crash

So there we go.

That one looks like a Monkey bug, what version of Monkey are you using? If it the latest maybe raise a bug report....
