How do I create android game

Hi, I'm new to c2. Just tried a tutorial. For export, I don't see Android (.apk) option. How can I create a .apk for publishing to such stores as Google Play Store?

Thanks

There are many ways. The recommended option for Android is by exporting it using cordova then create the APK with intel XDK crosswalk.

The following blog post from Ashley covers the current export options:

Thanks for quick replies. Will check into them.

I tried to create a simple Android app that uses WebView to load local file; c2 index.html. My thinking is to use this approach to load the html5 c2 exported app using WebView. A WebView can load a local file using file:/// protocol. However, c2 checks to see if protocol is file:/// and it will show error message. Is there anyway to overwrite this default behaviour?

THANKS

AndreasR, Thanks for your reply. I'm looking for alternative approaches. The problem with cordova, xdk crosswalk is that it makes the .apk huge (+20mb). Does anyone know how to get an Android WebView work with c2 exported html5 output? As stated previously, since protocol is file:/// c2 will not start-up the app

About webview:

By default, a WebView provides no browser-like widgets, does not enable JavaScript and web page errors are ignored. If your goal is only to display some HTML as a part of your UI, this is probably fine; the user won't need to interact with the web page beyond reading it, and the web page won't need to interact with the user. If you actually want a full-blown web browser, then you probably want to invoke the Browser application with a URL Intent rather than show it with a WebView.

Please take a look at my html5 JunglePerformer here: http://3nportal.com/temp/jp

I wrapped that into Android webview (.apk here: http://3nportal.com/temp/jp/jp.apk ) yielding much smaller .apk

The two boxes on top left/right are for touch/mouse buttons (I was lazy and didn't add in images).

However, as you notice, on Android performance is slow because its communicating with files over the net.

This is why I wanted to wrap the files locally into .apk
