toggle between 2d and Google Cardboard

Hi,
You can use #if !UNITY_EDITOR to prevent the UpdateScreenParams() from running in the Editor. They don't make much use there anyway.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PlatformDependentCompilation.html

Don't think it's related to the gradle build error though.

 

Ok. I selected the Build Settings with Mac as the target platform. Then I created and added the script including #if UNITY_EDITOR
Currently, I used a sample scene from https://github.com/googlevr/cardboard-xr-plugin named: HelloCardboard.unity
I would like to test it on my laptop but there is no navigation or interaction available by default.
How to navigate without a headset?
thank you!

 

Have you tried to just rotate, and/or drag the camera in the scene while running the game in the Editor?

 

try some small script like this, it uses left alt + mouse move to look around (in editor playmode)
https://github.com/UnityCommunity/U...ssets/Scripts/Camera/EditorCardboardCamera.cs

 

Thank you. I created separate scripts for #if UNITY_EDITOR
Currently, the console log displays the following:

Please initialize Cardboard XR loader before calling this function.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object)
Google.XR.Cardboard.Api:UpdateScreenParams () (at Library/PackageCache/com.google.xr.cardboard@d9f0aa2eb0/Runtime/Api.cs:295)
CardboardStartup:Update () (at Assets/Samples/Google Cardboard XR Plugin for Unity/1.8.0/Hello Cardboard/Scripts/CardboardStartup.cs:70)

I understand the loader needs to be initialized. What should I do these scripts?

 

Yes and it is possible to rotate, drag the camera in the scene while running the game

 

You don't need any extra script for the error message.
Just find from where the line Google.XR.Cardboard.Api:UpdateScreenParams () is called, and surround it with the platform directive to prevent from being called in the Editor.

Code (CSharp):

1. #if !UNITY_EDITOR
2. UpdateScreenParams();
3. #endif

 

Ok, thank you. I corrected the code. The console log displays the following:
UnityEditor.SceneView:ShowCompileErrorNotification () (at /Users/bokken/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/SceneView/SceneView.cs:3703)
which is this type of error and how could i fix it?

 

Hi DarkVerse, I am a newbee in Unity but want to do the same thing. Did you get to it? Best, Johnny

 

Hi Johnny,

sorry for the delay, I have been away from Unity for a while and just came back here as I am supporting an old project.

My recollection was that I was not able to get switching on demand to work without crashing. I was able to get around it only because my use case could be tweaked to allow the user to select whether they wanted magic window mode or VR mode on startup and once selected they remained in that mode. If they wanted a different mode they would have to exit the app and start again, selecting a different mode. Not ideal by any means, but acceptable in my case.
