Revision Release 2024.3703 Keywords CoronaCards, Android See also Getting Started — Android Native/Lua Communication — Android
This guide explains how to integrate CoronaCards with a native Android project.
Get the desired CoronaCards framework from the download page and follow the instructions to install it.
com.ansca.corona.CoronaView is the main entry point — this is the view that should be added to your layout.
To use CoronaCards in the designer, you need to copy the .jar files into the [Project Directory]/[Application Name]/libs folder and the .so files into the [Project Directory]/[Application Name]/src/main/jniLibs/armeabi-v7a folder. A sample folder structure can be found on GitHub. Android Studio will show the CoronaView as a custom view in the designer.
To use CoronaCards in Eclipse, copy the .jar files into the [Project Directory]/libs folder and the .so files into the [Project Directory]/libs/armeabi-v7a folder.
Nothing needs to be added to the manifest.
Place your Solar2D assets (i.e. main.lua) into the assets folder of your project. The CoronaView should then use this path:
CoronaView coronaView = new CoronaView(context);
coronaView.init("");
CoronaView coronaView = new CoronaView(context);
// Assuming 'main.lua' and all of its assets are in a folder named 'Fishies' in the 'assets' directory:
coronaView.init("Fishies/")
