Hello everybody,
I installed the latest Android-build and tried two games (Cirque de Zâle and A Tale of Two Kingdoms). While the games run perfectly, I'm not able to access the Android-keyboard which is necessary to save the game. As there are many AGS-games using the F-buttons I guess there has to be a way to activate it but I'm totally unable to find it. Can you please help me?
A second question: When I start a game I get the message about missing midi drivers. In the games there is music though. Can I ignore the message?
Thank you kindly and have a wonderful day!
edit: I read in another thread that there should be the menu symbol (the three points in the upper right corner) accessible ingame. In my case it isn't. I have the same problem with both my Android Tab A (from 2019) and with my Galaxy A20e.
Hello.
There's a Android readme here in our repository: https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/tree/master/Android (https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/tree/master/Android)
According to this you may bring a on-screen menu with either MENU button press or BACK button
longpress. From this menu you should be able to call on-screen keyboard.

Yes, try setting "midiid=none" in the acsetup.cfg, that should disable MIDI initialization in the engine.

Thank you for your reply. I already tried that - unfortunately there is no MENU button accessible ingame and pressing the BACK button (I tried for 10 seconds) doesn't do anything...
edit: Really strange: I can summon the menu by longpressing BACK on my handy, but it doesn't work on the Tab A.
I dont have much knowledge about Android phones. Maybe it's worth opening a ticket in our repository about this and research possible solutions.
I found a solution for the problem: I installed the app "Hacker's Keyboard" and activated it. Now it's possible to use a keyboard while running the AGS-app and everything works.
