I have now fixed the issue by using Cranberrygame's GAME plugin. Also wrote a tutorial about it concerning the proper way to upload an alpha/beta apk to the store. AndreasR, I owe a lot to you as well, your tutorials on shatter-box helped a ton

You're welcome

Does it use the new LocalStorage?

i heard Webstorage no longer i supported.

I think that's pretty important to include in the description!

Hi,

Not yet, but I'm working on an update

This is the only thing that's holding me back from releasing my leaderboard update for my android app.

Thanks in advance!

The built in plugin is based on Web, if you want to publish to android I would recommend CocoonJS or the Phonegap Plugin Game.

I'm using a modifed version of the rain effect from the Ghost Shooter in this platformer template

You can adjust the rain by variables to reduce the CPU usage.

Well the best would be to use Google Drive or on a FTP server, but be aware that you never can work on the project at the same time.

AndreasR I used Cordova's iap plugin, on the doucment it was called Cordova Plugin Purchase Master. I tried Cranberry's plugin but it said i had to download apps to get the password to unzip the folder is there any other way?

Now I understand.

Cranberrygame changed the way how he handles the free versions. I would recommend you to buy the package for 25$. This includes all plugins available and you will not need to enter a password.

Then you can install it the same way you did with other plugins.

What would you recommend for HTML 5 game??

Hi,

The template uses the Google Play Game Service and the projects are made for Cordova and CocoonJS.

It will not work if you compile it to HTML5 only.

You would need to replace the leaderboard function with the build-in 'Google Play' plugin from scirra. This will work on HTML5.

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

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2087 ... ew-android

Thanks

Actually yes.

2)Crosswalk android

c2 Phonegap WebViewPlus plugin (half size of crosswalk for android)

+

c2 Phonegap Media plugin (sound)

+

c2 Export project - Cordova

+

xdk Build - Android

See here: https://plus.google.com/102658703990850475314/posts/f3jYgyjAcjV

You'll find all plugins here: http://cranberrygame.github.io/?referrer=c2gpluscommunity

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

Maybe my tutorial will help you

If you want learn about the general function of the LocalStorage plugin feel free to check out my tutorial here.

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/1461/how-to-use-the-localstorage-plugin

If you want I'll extend it by a HighScore function.

cranberrygame released a new Plugin called 'Cordova Facebook'.

This is not conflicting with the Phonegap Game plugin anymore. I'll release a tutorial for that soon.

Just PM me if you have question till the tutorial submission is back online.
