Android Builder Tool

If Unity Basic still doesn't allow native plugins, then Floky's original version won't work for you, however the one I posted above should work just fine. IIRC I removed the plugin usage entirely. You should be able to build and sign your Android build as normal, and then just run the splitter with the appropriate settings.

 

Nice work Floky..I am feeling very glad to see this post. I am looking for next updated version. Thanks a lot for sharing this valuable post.

 

This looks like an awsome tool. Really great work!

But I dont understand the readme file.

Which file is "the installer template project"? is it the UnityInstaller folder?
To import the folder in eclipse I press: File/Import/General/ Excisting project into workspace . Press NEXT and then select the UnityInstaller folder.
I Then get this error message in the console "[2013-06-10 21:45:21 - Installer] Unable to resolve target 'android-15'"

I am using windows 7.

Can anyone please help me?

 

This means you don't have the specific version of the android SDK it's asking for. You need to open the Android SDK updater (from Eclipse, not directly from your SDK folder, they use different version information for some stupid reason) and choose to download the SDK version matching the error you're seeing.

 

Hi Matt,

I followed the instructions you've put up on Github but when I run my app it crashes and shows a "Unfortunately, YOUR APP NAME HERE has stopped." error. (Yes I din't bother to change installer_app_name string, yet.) The logcat outputs the following RuntimeException:

Which doesn't makes alot of sense to me. I've already changed the package names properly, as you state on step 7, but the installer is firing the com.yourdomain.yourapp.YourAppDownloaderActivity.

Any idea of what may be happening here?

Cheers. Thanks in advance.

 

It looks to me like you have changed the package names in the classes, but not in the manifest.
If you look near the top of https://github.com/mattbenic/Unity3...rojects/InstallerActivity/AndroidManifest.xml, you'll see it references com.yourdomain.yourapp.

The version code specified there is also important, since you'll need to increase it with each upload to Play.

 

Hi Matt, thanks for the reply.

Yes, I did changed all the references from "com.yourdomain.yourapp" to my package name/domain/etc on the source files aswell as the manifest - just double checked. I also incremented the version code, yes. :/

Cheers.

 

Hey all,

I'm stuck in a position where I have to use Unity3 and now my apks are over 50mbs.

So, I went through this whole thread learning how to use this tool. Then I took a crack at it, it took me about 2 trys to set it up correctly, mainly because I was changing the namespace of the package under Gen incorrectly. But I figured that out and I was so excited to see my game build but then it stopped building. Or rather it was finished building and gave me 1 apk like it usually would. It didn't do any splitting of any sorts, it just skipped the whole thing.

So where did I go wrong? How do I get this jar file to execute after the building is complete? I thought I just build the jar file from extracting the src folder in the project, then drop it in the Plugins/Android folder and bam magic happens and I get two apks. Clearly I was wrong.

I'll eventually scan this thread again and the older one to see if someone ran into this problem as well.

If any files are needed to further research my issue please let me know and I can email the files to you.

But please any advice is a great help!!!

Update 1: Ok I totally overlooked one step which was causing nothing to happen when building for android. DO NOT forget to copy the contents of "InstallerAndroidBuilder/Builds/" into your project's editor folder. Totally messed that up. So now I finally got it to run and something went wrong. Here is my error log its in regard to generating a dex file.

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

Error! Android Builder failed in Step 4: generateDexFile()

I will continue with this endeavor and debugging this error, but please any help is well appreciated. I will post updates if I overcome this error, if not I will rot and die trying.

Update 2: I have no idea why that error above occured once, but I redownloading the files from the first page and redid the whole process and it worked. But my downloader part of the project was broken. My first was an issue with how I was re-naming the /gen packages in the eclipse project. I was right-clicking on the /gen/com.whatever.packageName and hit refactor and set the name like that. THIS IS WRONG... idk why I thought that was the way to do it, I suppose I just confused myself reading the READMEs and the two instruction sets(one on page 4 or 3 and the mattbenic one in the link 1 post above me.) Once I figured out how to correctly rename the bundle id (just do it in the androidmanifest and the gen will update itselfs, IF everything is correct in your project). Then after I successfully exported my Jar file ofc my unity and its link to android broken. Upon building the apk in unity(not the in split apker) I was getting an error - unknown. But this doesn't concern the Android Tool, this just happened b/c I was messing around with the android sdk files too much and I messed something up myself. So I re-installed the whole android sdk and it built fine. Then there was one more error in my way. My url, I was returning the wrong url which caused nothing to download but the installer still thought it downloaded something and switched it out with nothing. So what was happening was everytime I played the app after the broken installation i just crashed. My error was in the two methods we have to write. In getGameDataUrl() I was returning the full game url when you are just suppose to return the url that contains the apk(s). And in getRemoteGameDataApkFilename() I was returning the gameData apk name. So in the end my url looked something like http://mydomain.com/apkLocations/apkName.apkapkName.apk which is clearly wrong. But once I fixed that it worked beautifully!!!

I am now graduated and in the alumni of Successful Unity Split Apkers!!!! Woot Woot!

Thanks FLOKY!!!!!

 

I keep getting this error and I don't know what to do. I Feel like I have followed all the instructions.


Unity Android SDK Root Path hasn't been set! The build process can't continue!!!
Quit, setup Unity Android Sdk root path, make sure you have the latest Android API installed and try building again.

Hi!! I follow using the Unity 3.5.7 and I use the initial Android Builder Tool and have a problem when I put the AndroidManifest.xml in the Plugin/Android folder. The error is:

By other hand, if I don't add the AndroidManifest.xml the tool works in the proper way. But after the installation in the device the app just crash, and give me another kind of errors:

What can I do to solve this problem? or what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
