Running an App on a Device

@Adnan, do you have the DDMS Perspective available in the upper right of Eclipse, like this?

If it's not there, you can click the little "plus" icon and select DDMS from the menu.

In the DDMS Perspective, there is a "Devices" view on the left. Does your S3 show up in there when it's connected? If not, try this StackOverflow question for tips on how to connect your S3 using Windows: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10929386/hardware-debugging-using-samsung-galaxy-s3-in-windows

Thanks for the reply. I am now doing the upload on google play part of the tutorial. So I figured publishing the app and tweaking it once published. Unconventional but it is a trail and error for me now ;)

Unconventional is good as long as it helps you learn!

Hi Ben,

I tried uploading the app today ... Excited as it is launch day but it crashed , please help my address is

https://play.google.com/apps/publish/v2/?dev_acc=00534249602219706977#MarketListingPlace:p=com.adhastudio.crystalball

Thanks

I installed your app, hooked up my phone to my computer, and watched Logcat in Eclipse as I opened your app. Here's the error I saw in Logcat:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.adhastudio.crystalball/com.adhastudio.crystalball.MainActivityity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.adhastudio.crystalball.MainActivityity" on path: /data/app/com.adhastudio.crystalball-1.apk

The name and package of MainActivity don't look right. This comes from your AndroidManifest.xml file. Open up that file and look at it in XML mode. Check the name and path for the MainActivity <activity> element. Could it be the extra "ity" at the end of MainActivity*ity*?

Yup what you said happened exactly
However now I am trying to upload the file on Google Play but it is stopping me to do so. Apparently I need to change the uploaded apk to version 2 , how do I do it ?

Thanks Ben in advance

PS excited now, even though i see 10 of the same apps running on the google play store :)

Oh, good! You just need to update the version number in the manifest. Change android:versionCode to "2" and android:versionName to whatever you want (maybe 1.1):

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.teamtreehouse.crystal.ball"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

It worked Thank You so much :)

Hey,

Just launched the app 2 days ago. But prior to that, I would like to say thanks for your patience, support and guidance. Doing this has been my boyhood dreams and I am excited to share this journey with the people here.

Thanks :)

Adnan Hasbi , congrats!
