Though mine isn't a commercial project, I'd be glad to kick in some $$ if
that would help with the development, since I don't have time to help in
any other way. So if anyone wants to develop this (add video support to the
Pygame for Android subset), let me know.

I think that devs are waiting for the next version of SDL before they
implement it.  You could always do it manually; blit a series of images to
a surface, while playing the soundtrack using pygame's mixer module.  I did
this (using ffmpeg to extract still frames / audio track, along with a
script to try and remove redundant frames to reduce file size) to get some
renpy games working on android and it worked pretty well.

Can anyone think of a way to work around this issue? Maybe a way to play
video as an external process?

Or would it be hard to add video support to the Pygame subset for Android?

Re: [pygame] Pygame for Android question: videos possible?

[Noel Garwick]

As far as I know, video support is still missing for Pygame subset for
Android.

[pygame] Pygame for Android question: videos possible?

[Alec Bennett]

I need to do an Android project that simply plays one of five videos, and I
was considering using Pygame for it.

I was wondering if this would be possible? Can I play fullscreen video
using Pygame on Android?

I'd be using the Google Nexus 7, if that's a factor.

The video can be in whatever format is required.

Yes. Right now, I'm still trying to get the packaging story figured out. At
least right now, it's not ready for commercial games, but I think free ones
are close to ready to go, once I upload the pygame subset package to the
market. (I'm waiting for more testing feedback before uploading - it's a bit
of a chicken-egg scenario for now.)

Right now, the packaging test for Ren'Py is ongoing - you can see an example
of what we have here:

http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8673

Everything is pretty much parameterized so that tweaking a few strings is
enough to get it working for pygame as well.

Re: [pygame] Pygame for Android

Hi,

on the upcomming android you can write apps with zero java :)  Of course
that is on 0.01% of peoples devices so far... but still nice for later.

"""If you're still looking at SDL-on-Android, you might want to check out
the Gingerbread SDK/NDK, which now provides a mechanism for native
apps that have access to libc, libm, libz, opengl|ES, opensl|ES,
input/events/sensors, app/activity lifecycle, resources, etc, without
the need to write any Java code.  JNI is available for access to
higher level Java APIs in the platform.

I'm not sure what the strategy for this would be. At the very least, 
I'll document the sound playback code I have now - and perhaps I'll

pygame.mixer wraps SDL_Mixer, which in turn provides a high level 
interface to SDL's sound interface. I believe SDL_mixer can be built 
without other dependencies such as SMPEG and ogg/vorbis. So if SDL audio 
works on the Android then pygame.mixer should work without changes.

Yes. The basic strategy is to use JNI to communicate between Python and
Dalvik. libpython2.6 is distributed as part of the package, along with
pygame.

For now, the launcher is an app that runs code it finds on the sdcard. At
some point, I'll try to add the ability to bundle the launcher and a project
together as a single app. (This is made a little difficult by android
changing the names of certain classes it generates based on the name of the
application.)

I don't, but I don't think it's necessary - there weren't any changes to
pygame required. Once SDL and Python work on a platform, pygame works as
well.


I've released a version 0.2 to:

 http://www.renpy.org/android-test/pygame_for_android-0.2.zip

(Let's retroactively call the first version version 0.1.) This fixes a local
reference leak in the sound code which would cause a crash after 255 sounds
were played. I've also put the source code up at:

https://code.launchpad.net/~renpytom/renpy/pygame-for-android

Well, this is less source code, and more a collection of build scripts and
various other project files that are required to convince everything to
cross-compile and play well together.

Re: [pygame] Pygame for Android

[René Dudfield]

Amazing!  This is really cool.

It would be good to merge your changes in to pygame subversion.  Do you
already have subversion access?

Agreed, great news :-)
I was just looking for ways to get my pygame-based projects to run on android.

Are you planning to eventually port the pygame.mixer ?

Anyway, good work.
I will try to get my hands on some android apps to test it.

Wow, super cool  -  I guess it has python inside it?

Is it now possible to make android apps with python like this ?

[pygame] Pygame for Android

[Tom Rothamel]

Hi. I'm the creator of the Ren'Py visual novel engine
(http://www.renpy.org), a tool for digital storytelling. Ren'Py has
been using Pygame since at least 2004.

For the past month or so, I've been porting Ren'Py to the Android
platform. A few days ago, I had the first success. This required
porting Python and Pygame to Android. (I used an existing port of SDL
to Android.) As I don't believe I've seen a port of Pygame to Android,
I thought it would be useful if I broke out the pygame support into its own
distribution.

The result is Pygame for Android, which can be downloaded from:

   http://www.renpy.org/android-test/pygame_for_android-1.0.zip

Despite the number in the URL, this is far from a 1.0 release, having
just begun testing. There is essentially nothing in the way of
documentation or error handling - I'm releasing this publicly just to
show that the project has begun.

It requires an Android 2.0 or higher device, with working OpenGL
support. To use it, unzip the zip file, install
PygameLauncher-debug.apk on your device, and copy the pygame/ directory
to the root of the device's sd card. Then run the launcher icon. After
showing the Pygame logo for a few seconds, a small test program is
loaded and run.

The test program can be changed by editing /pygame/main.py on the
sdcard. main.py is imported as a module, and then has its main
function called - so code should live in the main function. The
main.py file has a few comments in it.

The functionality included is largely selected by what I use in
Ren'Py. Most notably, the mixer module is not included - the
android_sound module uses the Android media player code, which
potentially might use hardware acceleration.

My eventual plan for this, apart from bug-fixes and documentation, is
to put together a launcher, that allows users to select from projects
that live on the SD card.

Again, this hasn't been tested on may devices - so feedback is
encouraged. I'll try to get the full source code up shortly.


The following modules are available in this release, although many of
them have not been tested thoroughly.
