Andor's Trail

Last week, I cloned a git repo of Andor's Trail 0.7.1 and built it (using AIDE) on my Galaxy Note. It worked flawlessy.

Is anyone else doing builds not just for Android but actually on Android devices? Was it an accident that it worked so well, or is one of the devs making sure that AT builds using AIDE? I'm watching to see if Android can actually become a FOSS development platform, rather than just a build target.

p.s. I would use my tablet rather than phone for editing code, of course.

I have AIDE on my phone, an old HTC Glacier MyTouch. It pulls the code just fine, checks it successfully, but when I try to build, it runs out of VM heap space. I have no ideas if it is possible to increase this space, or if it hopeless on this old phone. I don't see anywhere how to change a setting. Any ideas? The guy who developed AIDE didn't even respond to a request for help.

"Heap space" is the available memory on your device. Compiling Java uses a lot of memory, and there just might not be enough of it on an old phone. You could try killing every other process to see if it makes a difference, but it might just not be possible.

That was what I suspected. Killing other processes isn't enough, of course. I do want to upgrade my phone at some point. I wish I could be sure ahead of time that I was getting enough memory to make the game.

A Nexus 7 is less than half the cost of a full-price phone, if you don't need something that makes calls.

I'm not sure how much I'd use a tablet, but I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

I have a T mobile prism and I've done coding on it. And this phone sucks

Coding is one thing. Being able to build AT is all I care about at this point.

Does anybody know how to build AT wh AIDE, When I tried it said it installed successfully but when I tried to turn it on I just got the notification - Unfortunately, Andor's Trail has stopped, does someone know what could have gone wrong?
