Android 4.0 support

By wesleystessens on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:08
Hi, My smartphone recently got updated to Android 4.0 and I haven't been able to get the sample apps running since. I'm trying to run the FrameMarkers sample, but I'm only getting a black screen where the camera should be. I think tracking isn't working either. I also can't enable the camera's flash light. Is Android 4.0 not supported? How can I make this work again?

Android 4.0 is not currently supported. We are working on it, but in the meanwhile I suggest not upgrading your devices to ICS if you are actively developing with QCAR. I don't suppose downgrading to Gingerbread is an option? - Kim

Hello, Can you let us know what device you have? You should be able to download an official gingerbread ROM, copy it to your SD card, and restore your phone using the restore menu at startup. You can do this without rooting your phone. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you, -Peter

Hi, I have the same problem. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and bought it just for developing AR-applications with QCAR. Is support for Android 4.0 far away?

I'm actually getting a crash in ICS. The same code works on Android 3.2 but not on Android 4.0.3. Any suggestions? ICS crash dump can be found here: http://pastebin.com/BjjXSnqA This is just from updating to 1.5 from 1.5 beta without any code changes.

It doesn't look like you've successfully upgraded: I/AR ( 4973): QCAR SDK version 1.5.4 That's still the beta version. Have you pointed the Eclipse QCAR_SDK_ROOT variable to the new SDK? Rebuild the .so libraries using "ndk-build -B" to force a rebuild.

I have changed the classpath variable but for some reason I'm still getting 1.5.4 instead of 1.5.9. I've even renamed the 1.5.4 directory so nothing should be pointing to it. The steps I have done: Downloaded and installed the SDK directory (Linux) Changed the classpath variable to pint to 1.5.9 Ch

Just to answer my own question. I was linking to the wrong libQCAR.so when building native code. For anyone else with this problem take a look at your Android.mk file and make sure all your paths are correct.
