  • I'm trying to export my project to Intel xdk but all i get is a black screen, this are the steps i take:

      1 - Export project to cordova with default configurations, the only thing i change is the directoy. 2 - Open Intel XDK(3759) and import the project, then i go to the simulator and run it: black screen. 3 - Tried building the app and downloading, uploading to the BlueStacks and: black screen(but in the BS i can see the splash screen)

    When i export it to the html 5 it works fine through apache server, then i tried to import this html 5 project to xdk and still black screen, then i tried to upgrade the project to cordova and still: black screen, very frustrating.

    The app is very simple since it is only for testing, i only use buttons, texts, lists and local storage. Can someone help me here?

  • Ahhh yes. The horrors of XDK.

    Try selecting the projects tab THEN close XDK. When you re-open, then you can switch to the XDK emulation screen then it SHOULD start playing the game now.

    Be sure not to close XDK while the emulation screen is active otherwise you would have to close an re-open again.

  • I had a similar issue. In my case it was because y had used UTF-8 characters (such as Ä, É, Ñ, etc.), so make sure your project files only use ASCII characters (these are the characters you use when you write in English).

    I'm not using non-ascii characters

Seems like the cordova are being included twice, but the last error? it is from this file: [b][i]c2runtime.js[/i][/b].

Some useful information is that: using an older version of the xdk(in my friend pc, don't remember the version(i'll update it here)) i could simulate and generate the apk just fine(WITH THE SAME PROJECT), i don't know why i can't dot it with the newer version, i i'll try it in my computer now.

  • I found the solution: Since my computer is very old(from 2010 or 2009) and i only have ogl 2.0, and it seems like i also don't have support for webgl, i turned it off in the project properties and now the game screen is fine(not black anymore), but i still have another problem: the ads won't show! but this is for another post(i hope i find the solution earlier)

    Thanks all for the help and attention.
