So I decided to finally put Unity Ads on my Android game. I tried to build it on Windows platform and found no problem (FPS is fine)
But when I rebuilt it for Android, my FPS scaled down to 30+, what just happened?
I didn't put anything but integrating the Unity Ads so this time I just comment out the Ads that initializes the ads.
void InitializeAds(){
StartCoroutine(ShowAdWhenReady());
}
IEnumerator ShowAdWhenReady(){
while(!Advertisement.IsReady()){
yield return null;
}
Advertisement.Show();
}
In hopes that the FPS will go back to normal. But heck when I recompiled the APK and installed it on my phone the FPS still around 30+ FPS :/
Any help regarding this? I'm certain my game has good frame rate before I put the ads so I know there must be some kind of bugs on the plugin.
By the way, I invoked the InitializedAds on the Start method.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I installed Unity Remote from Google Play to see if it's also going to have same low FPS but its NORMAL. So I recompiled the current Unity project, installed on my phone, FPS still SUCKS. This is so straaange T.T
Please try this for making FPS higher in your game,
Application.targetFrameRate = 60;
I guess, your problem will solved using this line.

I'm quite new into flutter and coding in general. I'm trying to build a meditation app, that plays a bell every 30/60/120... seconds, depends on user input. My code works perfectly fine on Android device, but when running on iOS, it plays bell only once and doesn't play anymore. Any suggestions please? Thank you!
if (((widget.meditation.notification) != 0) &&
((_time % widget.meditation.notification) == 0)) {
print('notification $_time');
audioCache.play('audio/bell.wav');
}
Finally I found solution, simply everytime .release() must be called.
By default, the player will be release once the playback is finished or the stop method is called.
This is because on Android, a MediaPlayer instance can be quite resource-heavy, and keep it unreleased would cause performance issues if you play lots of different audios.
On iOS and macOS this doesn't apply, so release does nothing.
I've been writing a flashlight app as my very first app to learn the fundamentals, and although everything is working out fine, the flash doesn't work when I close the app (until I reboot or open some other camera app).
Is anything wrong with my onDestroy?
#Override
public void onDestroy(){
super.onDestroy();
if(camera != null){
camera.stopPreview();
camera.setPreviewCallback(null);
camera.release();
camera = null;}}
I'm using the old camera API as my only available device runs on API 21. Looking at the package documentation suggests I'm doing everything ok. The flash behaves normally, but as soon as I pause the activity or close the app the flash becomes unavailable, even though I thought I was releasing it.
Problem solved, missed the same code in onPause() and onStop().
Works flawlessly now.
I am having a similar problem but only in one mobile SAMSUNG GALAXY S6, we are providing some default coins when player installs the game(suppose 15000). When i install the game, 14,500 coins are showing,when i checked it, playerperf has a key at the time of installing itself.I checked log but no use.No app data is present after uninstalling but the issue is occuring. Any help is welcome, Thanks in advance guys.
You can try to delete the PlayerPrefs before initializing the default coins.
PlayerPrefs.DeleteAll();
Use with caution - you can't undo that.
You could make some checking for example are you playing the game inside editor or on device something like this:
if(Application.isEditor)
{ // save coins with key}
else { //save coins but using different key }
Or replace PlayerPrefs with JSON.
Having a weird problem with my app.
Trying to play a video in a loop (see the code below). VideoPlayer repeatMode is set to Ti.Media.VIDEO_REPEAT_MODE_ONE.
Works in simulator, works on iPhone 4s, works on iPad Air... does not work on iPhone 4 (all of them running iOS 7.1.1 apart from simulator - 7.1).
Exact symptoms: after one play, video should restart from beginning, but it stops. If controls are available, I can press play to start playing it again, then after reaching the end it stops again.
I could swear that it worked on iPhone 4 before the 7.1 upgrade, but somehow it stopped.
Anyone could replicate this issue? Or have any idea?
Sys info:
Titanium SDK: Tested with 3.2.3.GA; 3.2.2.GA; 3.2.1.GA; 3.2.0.GA
Platform & version: iOS 7.1.1 (11D201)
Device: works on iPhone 4s, iPad Air, simulator; fails on iPhone 4
Host Operating System: OSX 10.9.2
Titanium Studio: 3.2.3.201404181442
Xcode: 5.1.1 (5B1008)
Alloy: 1.3.1
Code for basic Alloy project to replicate:
index.js
var videoPlayer = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
autoplay : true,
fullscreen : false,
mediaControlStyle : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_DEFAULT,
repeatMode: Ti.Media.VIDEO_REPEAT_MODE_ONE,
scalingMode : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT
});
//Video is 12s long so it is easy to notice that it does not loop.
videoPlayer.url = "video/candles.mp4";
$.index.add(videoPlayer);
$.index.open();
index.xml
<Alloy>
<Window class="container">
</Window>
</Alloy>
I would appreciate any suggestions.
I have done some research and played around with the Titanium.Media.VideoPlayer and managed to work around the issue. Below you can find the solution in case anyone else encounter this problem.
First of all, some info on the problem.
I have found some forum boards where developers were having very similar problem with MPMoviePlayerController on iPad 1st gen. Looped video was less or more randomly freezing on loop. So I think there is a problem with the Apple video player on some devices, and not necessary with Titanium implementation.
My first approach was to try replay video on complete event that is fired when video stops playing, instead of using repeatMode.
So far so good. It worked on the first time, yay! But the happiness was rather short. During an hour of test of videoPlayer.play() on event complete, the video sometimes was repeating 10-30 times fine and then suddenly was freezing. What gives? Turns out the video player had some sort of a hiccup.
Normal sequence of events was as follows:
video ends, playbackstate changes to 2,
complete event is fired
I restart video on complete
playbackstate changes to 1, video is playing until the end.
For a mysterious reason once in a while this sequence got additional something happening:
video reaches the end - playbackstate changes to 2,
complete event is fired.
video gets restarted on complete
playbackstate changes to 1, video starts playing
suddenly playbackstate changes to 1, video stops, without firing complete event.
Solution
So, knowing all this, I have set up listeners to listen to playbackstate instead of complete and when I hear playbackstate: 1 then I restart video and tadaaa! Everything works!.
Caveat: not 'everything' unfortunately. I am using custom video controls, so I have lost pause, and stop ability (every time video playback state changes to 'stopped' I restart it forcefully). To make it work I have to remember to remove listener every time I press 'pause/stop' buttons and then reattach it afterwards.
Hope that helps someone.
I have a bad performance problem with OpenAL in my iPhone game. My game runs smoothly with 60fps but when I initialize OpenAL the game begins to jerk. This is my initialisation code:
ALCdevice* device = alcOpenDevice(NULL);
ALCcontext *context;
if(device) {
context = alcCreateContext(device, NULL);
alcMakeContextCurrent(context);
}
I don't create any OpenAL Sources nor load/play any sounds. The jittering (the game jerks all the time) is caused by the initializing of OpenAL.
The XCode instruments are saying that the game runs with stable 60fps yet it's obviously jittering (when I don't run the code above the game runs smoothly).
This also doesn't happen on an old iPod Touch 2G with iOS 3.1.3. On all my other devices with iOS 4 the jittering happens, which is also crazy.
I also tried to put the OpenAL stuff in a separate thread but it doesn't help.
Has anybody noticed a similar behaviour?
Try calling alcGetError() after context set up to ensure it succeeded.
Is this failing on the simulator or on an actual phone?
Are you doing anything with sound after the code you posted? In the code you posted if alcOpenDevice fails then you won't have a context, yet you don't return either.
