Hello,

I am pretty new to PD and patching. Right now i' m trying to get one of my patches to work with PdDroidParty. As of now i get to open the patch on my phone (a Huawei ascend p2) and i can see the graphical interface. I get to interact with the GUIs, but sadly no sound is generated. I'll try to write the information you may need:

1. the patch is supposed to be some kind of simple synthesizer, nothing fancy, just to try.
2. i've done the vanilla adaptation, and it runs on Pd Vanilla.
3. GUIs are not cable-connected.
4. All the sub-patches are now separate patches.

More than that i've not done, so i may simply have missed an important step. Also, do i need some understanding of other programming languages to do this kind of work? Because, if that is the case, i guess i need to learn some C or whatever else before i even try to get my patches running on Android.

There are some issues with the patch, so it may be necessary to play around with the GUIs to get some sounds out of it.

I appreciate all the help.

I think you misunderstood the point 4.

You need to separate gui from your dsp, but you still need to have a subpatch or abstraction in your droidparty_main.pd.
You only have one instance of pd running, and it reads droidparty_main.pd if you don't have any objects that make sound, your patch won't.

You shouldn't need extra programming skills unless you want to build a distributable app.

Thank you BerengerRecoules. It works now, and i'm happy for that, but i also feel pretty darn stupid for misunderstanding that simple thing I think the reason for the misunderstanding simply was that i studied to quickly one of the example patches. It appeared that there were only GUIs on it, but now i looked again and found important subpatches at the bottom right corner of the patch, which isn't visible when you just have opened the patch.

Thank you again BR, now i'll try to get over the shame of feeling stupid by patching some more!

Great, I'm happy it works. Don't feel ashamed, forum are for that kind of questions. Please do some more patching ! (& share if you feel like !)

Yeah, you are right. Feeling stupid about an error is nothing compared to the joy of learning! I always feel like i have some sort of superpower when i learn something new.
