Hey everybody i was just wondering two things... 1. Will a GE game run smoother on a droid device rather than an ipod touch (less lagg)? 2. How do you export a ge game file to an android device and please make it very detailed because ive never tried this on android but i could say that im experienced on exporting to ipod touch. THANKS

There isn't too much difference in performance, aside from hardware differences. As for building the apk, have you looked at this?

lcl wrote:4) Write a similar bat -file in Notepad or some other program:
- Code: Select all
set ANT_HOME=c:\apache-ant-1.8.2
set CLASSPATH=C:\jdk1.7.0_01\lib
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.7.0_01
set PATH=%path%;%ANT_HOME%\bin
set PATH=%path%;c:\android-sdk\tools
So, set ANT_HOME to be the path to the folder named exactly
apache-ant-1.8.2. So, if you got a folder named apache-ant-1.8.2-bin, that's not the right one, in that folder there is a subfolder, which has the right name, be careful!
And for the CLASSPATH, you'll have to search where it has installed your JDK, and the lib-folder. It's most likely in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\lib
JAVA_HOME is the folder where you can find the lib-folder, so most likely: C:\Program FIles\Java\jdk1.7.0_02
The next line you can leave as it is.
And the last line, replace the c:\android-sdk\tools with your android-sdk tools folders location.
Save the file with the name setup.bat and in your geandroid -folder.
Open notepad and create a bat file (setup.bat). lcl's directions are pretty straight forward though, so what part of it are you having trouble on?

Ah, then it is easier. Just follow the instructions in the download section where you get geandroid.
