Black screen on Android 5 Lollipop

cocos2d-x C++
#1

I just released my game using Cocos2d-x 3.2 and NDK r9d and I am getting a black screen on Android 5.0+. I did some searching around and found that others have been experiencing the same issue:


So, I updated my game to use Cocos2d-x 3.4 and NDK r10c…and I am still experiencing the black screen! When I comment out my code to start music everything works fine. Has this issue not been resolved yet? Am I really going to just have to disable the music on Android 5+? According to the changelog this issues was fixed as of Cocos2d-x 3.3-rc1.

Thanks for any info!

I noticed this patch, which is supposed to fix the issue.
https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/pull/9088/files
This has been incorporated into 3.4, which I am using, but I still get freezing.

Wow, I was wrong. Here’s what happened:

I downloaded cocos2d-x 3.4 and copied it into a directory next to my old cocos2d-x 3.2 installation. In the cocos2d-x 3.4 directory, I ran this:

cocos new MyGame -p com.your_company.mygame -l cpp -d NEW_PROJECTS_DIR

But what I forgot was to update the cocos environment variables! So when I ran the above command, it was copying the cocos directory from cocos2d-x3.2 into my new 3.4 project.

To fix this I re-ran setup.py in my 3.4 folder to set all of the new environment variables. Very silly mistake!

Hi,

Does this problem exists with v3.3 and using ndk r9d along with it?
Me a newbie too.

Thanxx
