Please post LogCat output of what Hollywood says when it tries to load the plugin.

How I can do it on android?
When I try to start applet I only see black screen.

1. Connect your Android device to your PC
2. Start LogCat from a console like this: "adb logcat"
3. Start Hollywood on the Android device
4. Watch the LogCat output. Hollywood will log something like this:

Code: Select all

Hollywood 7.1 [Android] [64-bit] (c) by Andreas Falkenhahn
The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer
 
Loading plugin polybios.hwp...
Preparing display...done
And Action!

Post this output here. Actually, I only need what it says in the "Loading plugin polybios.hwp" line. It should log an error.

Ok, looks like Polybios requires at least Android 5.0. I forgot to mention this in the documentation. Unfortunately, supporting earlier Android versions isn't possible because they miss some functions required by Polybios.

it is very sad
How I can check android version and preload Polybios if they>5?

You can just load Polybios with LoadPlugin() and if that fails you know you have Android < 5

BTW. I just came up with a problem when I try to use LoadPlugin instead of @REQUIRE on MorphOS.

If I do:

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("polybios")
doc = pdf.CreateDocument()
doc:SetCompressionMode(#HPDF_COMP_ALL)     

I get an error: Constant not found!

So it doesn't recognize the #HPDF_COMP_ALL constant when I've loaded the plugin with the LoadPlugin function, but it does work if I change LoadPlugin to @REQUIRE.... what's wrong here? I'd like to load the plugin only if needed in this case...

Well, constants are evaluated at preprocessor level and at that time #HPDF_COMP_ALL obviously isn't there because the plugin is loaded at runtime. So using constants made available by plugins can be a little tricky, but the following should work:

Code: Select all

doc:SetCompressionMode(GetConstant("#HPDF_COMP_ALL"))
