Cordova export help

If you do a search for compiling apk cordova using cmd for construct 2, there is a way to set up the game to convert to an actual apk that will go fullscreen. The program should take care of that bar automatically, but it might be a timing issue when loading? Do you have a loading screen or does it just go straight to the game layout?

Using android SDK and installing cordova through cmd will allow you to use the www folder to build apk with cmd. Not sure the exact process, but MANY people I have heard love doing it this way because its free and actually makes the apk an apk to download for testing.

Sorry I dont have specifics, but its def worth trying if you find it!

Another option may be to use bluestacks? Not sure how that would work but who knows. That bar def looks like the phone UI and the game loading is not doing something fast enough to block that.

Yeah, I use cmd for building the APKs as it is free and only requires learning a bit of code. Pretty easy when you know how.

I did some fiddling around with some of the files and got it to work for the most part. The issue seems to be the "cordova-plugin-statusbar" plugin for Cordova.

I needed to re-add the status bar plugin in cordova and add "StausBar.hide();" to the "onDeviceReady()" condition in the index.html for the exported project. It's a bit weird that Construct2 doesn't add the StatusBar.hide() code automatically, but it doesn't take much to add it in.

It seems that cordova needs you to re-add existing plugins in order to get it to work for some reason?

Anyways, thanks for the help. If you need a hand with any projects let me know, I'm always happy to help.

Yeah after reading a bit about it after my post, I noticed some people fixed this exact thing with a plugin. That might have been the one they were talking about. Some were kind of eh about adding another plugin but hey if it works!

Glad you have some cmd knowledge of the apk stuff, because once its set up, its a matter of copy and pasting www folder and rebuilding android apk from cmd there and then boom :)

Good stuff

ALso, Ill keep the help in mind because I am doing two games right now and its cumbersome for one person, though I have a game clan for ideas and tests :P

I am very artistic naturally and graphical stuff is easy for me, just wrapping around this program, which is much easier (yet fully useable for sure!) than other engines Ive used, but if I get caught up, add me on dicord :) — I have a server for one of my games there :)

Thanks and if you need graphics help ;) lol

Cool, here is a link to my discord [just created]Hampo on Discord. Unless you can send me a link to yours?
