Thanks a lot, @eriOo. Nice job!!!

This post and the Android Studio project was very helpful! I got my game up and running on Android without a lot of effort.

However, I keep getting an error about the midi driver. My game config has midi disabled, and the Android.cfg has it set to Enabled = false. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here?

Anyone have any ideas?

Normally if you disable MIDI it should not try to initialize.

Could you post config file and what is the error message?

Oh, and what version of engine/AGS are you using?

The error I get is:
Warning: cannot enable MIDI audio.
Problem: No compatible drivers found in the system.

I'm using AGS 3.5.0.18 (RC2) and I used the Android engine labeled 3.5.0.18 from https://cirrus-ci.com/github/adventuregamestudio/ags

Tried it with the RC3 files in the release forum, and I'm still getting the MIDI driver error. I have it disabled in both cfg files, so I'm not sure what else to do to suppress it.

Are you using launcher APK or created APK exclusively with your game? I am not sure how it works with the latter (where it gets config from).

If someone stumbles on this thread even more updated instructions are here: https://github.com/ericoporto/teafortwo

Other than this I can't help without seeing code. The files looks correct but my guess is you are not placing it in the correct directory.

An even more more updated Android Studio project is in the works.

I'm building an APK specifically for my game. It works and launches the game, which plays fine after I dismiss the MIDI driver error.

The config files are in the src/main/assets folder with the obb file.

I'll go over eri0o's updated instructions and make sure I'm not missing anything.

I got it to work!

The trick was I had to put both the android.cfg and acsetup.cfg files into the obb along with the ags file. Once I did that, no more MIDI error.

Thanks for putting together your instructions. They were invaluable in getting this working.

(That just leaves iOS to get up and running...)

Video tutorial maybe? :')

Hi @Vulpes,

At this time I don't have much more to say than what was mentioned in the README here : https://github.com/ericoporto/teafortwo

I currently just do those when I make a game and I couldn't find the right mind space to make games in 2020 and Google did release a new major version of Android Studio - which I haven't looked up on how it affected the Tea for Two project.

At this point in time I am working on a new Android port that will use the new SDL2 backend that is being developed and should be compatible with all the latest tools from Google, which I hope will make things easier.
