Well it's all Chris's work !

So I join in to congrat and thank Chris !

From my side also a huge thanks to Chris! My projects would have been impossible without PdDroidParty. Of course, the same goes for Peter Brinkmann's libpd and Pure Data itself. @ShawnPD I'm lucky to have a designer friend who helped me with the look of the app. Chris has made skinning the app really easy. Just keep in mind that the background .svg seems to be a lot more forgiving than the .svg's for the interface objects - getting the interface ones slightly wrong can cause the app to have no interface. I followed Chris' advice and modified the ones he gave in Inkscape, rather than make my own.

OK, I'm also a complete noob regarding eclipse and compiling, but I've got this far...

I've cloned Droidparty, Pd-for-android and Btmidi using the scripts in Ubuntu.

I'm now on Eclipse in windows trying to import Btmidi and libpd. I get the following error when I import Btmidi

"BluetoothMidi' is missing required source folder: 'gen'"

Well Ive got a bit further,

I've got eclipse working on ubuntu 11.10, I'm able to import PdCore and circle of fiths and run them in AVD. I had to make sure I had the right Java files and add repositories to get ADT working.

I now need to import the DroidParty project. I can get the first script to work:

`./convert-app-name mysynth "My Synthesizer"`

but I cant get the second to work, `android update project --path .`. I get the error android: command not found.

I realise this is a problem with the system path to the SDK, Ive edited bash.rc and added the path to the SDK tools and platform-tools directories but I'm having no joy.

Some info on the 'android update project' command, it works like this :

"android update project --path /full_path_to_PdDroidParty_clone" and should be run from /full_path_to_android_sdk/tools/

thanks,

the command worked as above when I added ./ to the start,

is there a way to increase the samplerate of DroidParty?

Looks really promising. Unfortunately, once I install it in my Droid Razr and open it, it does not find any compatible patches. I uncompressed them all in the same /sdcard/pd directory where I placed the tgz package. I wonder whether I should place them somewhere else, still couldn't find where is it really installed, and no way to open a patch manually...

Hello folks,

I'm trying to install PdDroidParty on my Samsung Galaxy 3 with Android 2.1, but get a parse error when I launch the .apk. Any clues / hints?

I had downloaded "What Comes Around" and it seemed to work (although very very slowly, probably due to my device's age and speed).

In any case, this looks great!
I didn't seem to see any mention of reading the accelerometers into PdDroidParty objects... any plans for that?

Well, a simple firmware update fixed it. Now to play with that DroidParty!

Maybe I'm just a noob (probably), but the patches do not seem to load from my sd card. I have successfully installed the pddroidparty app. I went back to the sd card folder and made a new folder and uploaded the .pd files. On the app itself I get a green "compatible patches found", but the rest is black and no apps seem to be apparent. Could someone please help.

Hi zjel46

the main patch of your app should be place in a folder with the name of you app, and be called 'droidparty_main.pd'

so you should avec something like this if you app is called 'sequencer' :
sdcard/pd/sequencer/droidparty_main.pd

then in the list you should see an entry called 'sequencer'

alternatively you can check this doc i wrote some time ago :
https://code.google.com/p/some-pure-data-projects/downloads/detail?name=Stereolux-ApplicationsMobiles-ENG.pdf&can=2&q=#makechanges

I should probably separate rjdj and droidparty now that rjdj is no more...

Hi BerengerRecoules,

the entry that worked for me:

sdcard/PdDroidParty/sequencer/droidparty_main.pd

sdcard/pd/sequencer/droidparty_main.pd did not work for me. Probably has to do with the name of the app? Thanks for your fast reply though

ah yes you are right !

it has changed in latest versions now the root directory of all you patches should be
sdcard/pdDroidParty

glad you figured it out, have fun

Hello, is there a form of sending MIDI messages via USB, in PdDroidParty?

finally I managed to install it on a LG phone running android 4.1.2 but whenever i try to launch a patch it suddenly crashes.. anyone experienced this?

anybody?

Hi dadacore,

I got a nexus 5 now which is a LG phone, and it works fine :

what version of Droidparty are you using ? (the last one is 264 -pretty recent)
what patches are you launching ? did you try the tests and demos available at http://droidparty.net/ ?

Hy,
i can' t understand some steps :

-Place your patch and files with a droidparty_main.pd in the "patch" subfolder

which droidparty_main_pd ? Have i to rename my patch as "droidparty_main.pd" or have i to put my patch and files in the same folder with droidparty_main.pd ?

which "patch" and wich subfolder ? Where ?

-Pack the patch subfolder into an Android zip resource: `./pack-patch`

What does `./pack-patch` mean ? Is this a folder path ?
I have dowloaded RAR for Android and i can make a .rar file but i don't know where to put it.

-Follow the instructions in the README.txt file for building.

Where is the README.txt file ?

Thanks a lot and best regards.

Cristian

@Cristian

• create a folder called 'patch' and put your patch (which has to be named as "droidparty_main.pd') into it
• './pack-patch' is a bash script, if you wanna see what it does open it with a text editor and try to read it.
• if you cannot run './pack-patch', .zip your patch folder and put it into res/raw directory
• README.txt resides in the main folder called MySynthesizer
