Some of the recent reviews on Google Play express trouble finding the
emulation activity menu. One of them thought you were supposed to go
to the settings accessible through the main activity to configure the
virtual controller buttons.
This commit changes the text so that the user now explicitly is told to
swipe down from the top of the screen to access the menu. In exchange,
I removed the exact selections to make in the menu so that the text
wouldn't get too long, but I think it shouldn't be too hard to
understand once you know how to open the menu.
Delay the creation of the emulation fragment if: the device is a phone, if
emulation should be locked to landscape, and the current orientation is
portrait.
Forcing landscape at emulation start revealed a bug where if the activity was
recreated before emulation started then it would get stuck in a paused state
If emulation started in landscape then it wouldn't lock to landscape, thus
allowing a rotation to portrait then immediately back to landscape. Also
locking to landscape didn't need to be called from another thread, so that
was removed as well
Picasso is using an old version of the support lib which creates a conflict
for the exifinterface support librar, this will make sure to use the
version Dolphin is using which is 27.1.1
Previously would take several seconds to save, sometimes causing ANRs, which
was made worse when adding all the controller values. Now we only load/save
each section instead of doing it for each setting. Also added a method
to save an individual setting.
Android can be funky with controller vibration. Of the three controlers I have that contain a
vibrator(PS3, Xbox360, 2017 Shield controller), only the Xbox360 controller registered as having
a vibrator. So YYMV depending on the driver support of the device.
With the nature of android updates invalidating save states, it's best to hide
these options unless enabled by the user. The option to use savestates can now
be enabled via the General settings menu.
Two reasons for this change. First, it appears that some android launchers do some sort of call into
the application when long pressing the app icon, which in turn calls the DirectoryInit service. This
was ok to do prior to Oreo but will cause crashes with the new restrictions on services running
in the background. Which leads to the second reason that DirectoryInit doesn't need to be a service
at all since these actions are required for dolphin to function and shouldn't be a scheduled action.
So we instead just kick this off in a new thread and send the broadcast when done.
This global belongs in the JitOptions structure, as it's a conditional
setting (A.K.A. option) that changes the behavior of what the JIT does.
Plus it keeps the scope of the variable constrained to the general area
it's intended to be used and nothing further.
This requires buildbot changes: the path to the Android Studio
installation must be supplied in an environment variable.
Modified files are copied out to a temporary directory, Android Studio
is asked to format the files, and a git diff is performed.
There isn't an official Java style, but this seems to be consistent with
everything else. Also it's weird to see one one liners without braces in
Java.
I think the intention might have been to switch styles based on what
platform was selected, but that never happened. Instead, everything just
used the GC styles.
All the platform-specific styles did was add an accent color (which
tints the checkbox and text area elements). This adds a specific color for
that instead of abusing a platform color.
There should be no visual changes for this commit.
Added an option in General config to enable/disable usage statistics. Added a popup on first open if
the user would like to engage in reporting. Clicking cancel or out of the box opts out. Only
clicking 'Ok' will enable reporting. Also added a new android specific values to report.
If a user changes any config options before starting emulation then all SIDevices are set to 0.
This was added in PR 6267(commit 58ee9d2a78) to fix a bug.
This sets up default positions for touch buttons so they are not just bunched in the corner on a fresh install. Also added a toast when emulation starts on how to edit button layout
Per-Game settings now load the settings in this order
1. Emulator Settings
2. Default Settings of the Game that we ship with Dolphin
3. Custom game settings the user have
where the later always overides the former in case of collision, then
we show that on the UI to make it clear to the user which settings being
used.
Some of the write checks do an & on the result, returning 0 will allow these fails to be caught.
Updated the default WiimoteNew to set wiimotes 2-4 to be disabled on new install. No reason to have these
enabled unless there is actually a 2+ players
Apparently there was a different section names used by the custom game
settings that caused Android to have those settings broken for
some sections like the graphics one. This adds the map between the generic
settings <> custom settings.
1. Create Settings class the encaupslate the loading/saving of all settings
2. Decouple the logic of saving the settings into 3 different config files
from the UI code.
A little background: Android has 8 controller setup, 4 gamecube pads and 4 wiimote pads. When the static GCPadNew.ini and wiimotenew.ini is created, pads 0-3 are gc 1-4, and 4-7 are wii 1-4. Problem was the settings set wii controllers as pads 1-4, instead of 4-7. So any setting for wiimote1, was set for gc2(padID 1). Which is why the only wiimote to work was 4, since it mapped to padID 4, which is actually wiimote1.
Some controllers have axes that are stuck to values like 0.5 or 1.
Starting with PR #6123, when you press a control to map, Dolphin will
immediately think that such an axis is the axis that you want to map.
This commit fixes that issue (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10909)
Since we don't have proper confuguration file of what to include/exclude
in the backup, this better be disabled because it will lead to unexpected
state. This will solve any issue that was keep hapenning even after fresh
install of the emulator until you manually clear the app data.
Before we used different way of identifying which settings menu to
show, someotimes we used the section name, other times we used the
settings file name. This one replaces all those different ways by just
one way based on a menu tag which is more clear and easy to follow.
Makes the enum values strongly-typed and prevents the identifiers from
polluting the PowerPC namespace. This also cleans up the parameters of
some functions where we were accepting an ambiguous int type and
expecting the correct values to be passed in.
Now those parameters accept a PowerPC::CPUCore type only, making it
immediately obvious which values should be passed in. It also turns out
we were storing these core types into other structures as plain ints,
which have also been corrected.
As this type is used directly with the configuration code, we need to
provide our own overloaded insertion (<<) and extraction (>>) operators
in order to make it compatible with it. These are fairly trivial to
implement, so there's no issue here.
A minor adjustment to TryParse() was required, as our generic function
was doing the following:
N tmp = 0;
which is problematic, as custom types may not be able to have that
assignment performed (e.g. strongly-typed enums), so we change this to:
N tmp;
which is sufficient, as the value is attempted to be initialized
immediately under that statement.
Deduplicates code, and gets rid of some problems the old code had
(such as: bad performance when calling native functions, only one
disc showing up for multi-disc games, Wii banners being low-res,
unnecessarily much effort being needed for adding more metadata).
Given this is actually a part of the Host interface, this should be
placed with it.
While we're at it, turn it into an enum class so that we don't dump its
contained values into the surrounding scope. We can also make
Host_Message take the enum type itself directly instead of taking a
general int value.
After this, it'll be trivial to divide out the rest of Common.h and
remove the header from the repository entirely
Skip ubershader mode works the same as hybrid ubershaders in that the
shaders are compiled asynchronously. However, instead of using the
ubershader to draw the object, it skips it entirely until the
specialized shader is made available.
This mode will likely result in broken effects where a game creates an
EFB copy, and does not redraw it every frame. Therefore, it is not a
recommended option, however, it may result in better performance on
low-end systems.
9fa2470 changed how the ubershader setting is stored in INIs but didn't
update the Android GUI code to reflect that, so the setting in the
Android GUI has been broken starting with that commit.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10947
Previously, this could cause a race condition which resulted in the
Vulkan backend attempting to acquire a swap chain image from a now
non-existant surface. By ensuring the backend knows about the surface
before a frame is presented, this race does not happen.
Android is allowed to pick any path for the external storage media and
that's why we should always use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
to get the external storage path
onCreateView might not be called after resuming the emulatoin wich will
leed the game to stuck in the middle since mRunWhenSurfaceIsValid will be
true but surfaceChanged will never be called in this case.
If Animator Duration Scale is Off, the Enhancements/Hacks screens were
not visible unless you enable the Animator Duration Scale back. This
make sure screens will be visible regardless of your animation settings.
Modified NativeLibrary to display alerts in AlertDialogs rather than Toast notifications, and allow yes/no options.
Modified MainAndroid to use the new displayAlertMsg, and to return its output.
1. Allow users to pick games dircetory from external storage.
2. Better UX experince to distinguish between selecting a directory or
a game. The later is needed when we implement change disk for android.
1) Most of the times the native heap is kept around even after the activity
is killed, we can ask the native code if it is still running and resume
the emulation if that is the case.
2) In case the native heap is freed and the emulation can't resume we used
a temporary state to load on the game boot.
I couldn't find a way to test this, if you want to test this schnario,
add this block to EmulationFragment.
public void onDestroy()
{
stopEmulation();
super.onDestroy();
}
onDestroy is only called if the acivity killed by the OS and not be rotation
change whihch in this case will make sure to kill the emulation and start
again when the activiy is re-created.
Note: By "HandleInit" in this commit message, I mean the code that is
in HandleInit in master except the part that launches EmulationActivity.
In other words, I mean the call to SetUserDirectory and the call to
DirectoryInitializationService.startService. Couldn't think of
something more accurate to call that than "HandleInit"...
In master, HandleInit only runs when the main activity is launched.
This is a problem if the app ends up being launched in some other way,
such as resuming EmulationActivity after the app has been killed in
order to reclaim memory. It's important that we run HandleInit, because
otherwise the native code won't know where the User and Sys folders are.
In order to implement this, I'm dropping the ability to set a custom
User folder in an intent. I don't think anyone is using that anyway.
It's not impossible to support it, but I can't see a way to support
it that doesn't involve something ugly like having code for calling
HandleInit in every activity (or at least MainActivity + TvMainActivity
+ EmulationActivity, with more activities potentially needing it in
the future if we expand the usage of native code for e.g. settings).
If we want to support setting a custom user directory, we should
consider another way to do it, such as a setting that's stored in
getFilesDir() or getExternalStorageDirectory(). Intents are intended
to control the behavior of a specific activity, not the whole app.
You will see an empty gc pad settings screen until you open any other
settings screen and change something, at that moment the Dolphin.ini will
be created and the gc pad settings will be loaded successfully the next
time you open the screen.
This fixes the bug by putting the default gc pad settings section even if
the Dolphin.ini file doesn't exist
This solves the following issues:
1. If user uninstall Dolphin and install it again the resources will
not be copied unless the user manually clear the app cache because we
are enabling the allowBackup flag in the manifest which will make the app
restore the settings saved in the shared prefernces including the flag
assetsCopied. This PR always copy the files everytime you open Dolphin.
2. If the AssetCopyService took long time and you tried to open the settings
screen or start a game the behaviour was not expected or the emulator will
crash, this PR make sure that whatever we add to the DirectoryInitializationService
or how long it will take will still work as expected by blocking both
the settings screen and the emulaion screen to wait untill all resources
needed are copied.
3. Better communication between the DirectoryInitializationService and the
UI screens using brocast messages.
This only works if GCPadNew.ini and Dolphin.ini files are not already in the dolphin config folder. Any advice would be helpful. I'd really like to tackle the UI and wiring for deadzones, radius, etc.
This has no effect now, as we've never bumped the database version.
Instead, it adds future proofing, and makes moving between a future
version with a bump and master clean.
Now that all inputs are corrected to zero-centered, we can use getFlat()
to ignore movements that are just noise.
This eliminates a lot of drift when the controller is at rest, notably
on the character select screen in Melee.
Android reports the same physical axis multiple times for analog
triggers, and this handles this case.
There are also some controllers with broken mappings (eg the analog
triggers on a PS4 DualShock 4). These axis don't center correctly.
There are also some controllers (again, the PS4) that send both a button
press and an axis movement. This ignores the buttons so we can use the
analog axis. Otherwise, since the button comes before the axis moves
far we would always take the button.
This reverts commit 1fc910b3ea,
replacing the old INI setting EFBScale with a new INI setting
called InternalResolution, which has a simpler mapping:
| EFBScale | InternalResolution
----------------- | -------------------- | --------------------
Auto (fractional) | 0 |
Auto (integral) | 1 | 0
1x | 2 | 1
1.5x | 3 |
2x | 4 | 2
2.5x | 5 |
3x | 6 | 3
4x | 7 | 4
5x | 8 | 5
6x | 9 | 6
All the fractional IRs were removed in f090a943.
Emulation needs to be running when the surface is destroyed, but we want
to pause in onStop. So call the surfaceDestroyed callback, as this
accomplished both.
The source Views don't need the transition name. We could get the name
from the sharedView via getTransitionName, but since the TV
ImageCardView isn't inflated in XML it would be to be manually set.
I'm not sure if that would be any cleaner than this.
called.
The user will get a brief system popup tutorial the first time it's
used, so we don't need to show them the menu every time. Once they
enable it by pulling down, hide again after 3s.
Move the parameter extraction earlier on in onCreate. Mostly this moves
setting sIsGameCubeGame to before setContentView, which means
EmulationFragment will always see it in a consistent state. Previously,
there was a race, which mean the controller overlay would randomly be
Wii controls for a GameCube game (since the default is false).
Use the correct support version of things, ActivityOptionsCompat and
transitions
Rename static var mIsGameCubeGame to sIsGameCubeGame. s is static, m is
member.
Make the MenuFragment added and removed by fragment transactions only,
instead of being initially present in the XML. This fixes a glitch where
it doesn't animate correctly the first time it's used.
The Activity is responsible for just its views and menus and such. It
signals the Fragment via setGamePath, StartEmulation and StopEmulation.
The Fragment manages the actual emulation lifecycle. It is solely
responsible for calling the NativeLibrary lifecycle methods.
With this lifecycle simplification, the NativeLibrary no longer needs to
kill the Activity. It happens normally now.
This simplifies a lot of things, live handling rotation.
Without this View, the emulation SurfaceView acts like it has the
highest Z-value, blocking any other View. This includes the menu
fragments and the screenshot ImageView.
This makes it clear that the Activity is being cleared and removes null as
a valid param. This improves readability (and logging slightly).
Fix spacing between [Tag] and message. This matches the rest of the log
messages.
In the support lib, the code comes from the SDK, not the device like the
framework version. This means we're shipping a more recent and less buggy
version.
It's also a good idea to keep the entire project on one version. We have a bit
of a mix now. I think some of the Fragment animation issues were because of
this mixing.
For the leanback activities, AppCompatActivity requires AppCompat themes, which
they don't ship for Theme.Leanback. So use FragmentActivity instead (that's the
parent of AppCompatActivity, but still in the support library). For passed
around Activities, use FragmentActivity to work with both.
Bump the support lib version to 26. This allows for using property
animators (R.animator) in FragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations.
Add the google maven repo, as from support lib 26 onwards, they're only
publishing it in there.
Bump the gradle version while we're at it, keep Android Studio quiet.
Other than what action they send back to
EmulationActivity.handleMenuAction(), they are the same.
Change the menu-handling logic in EmulationActivity to keep track of a
boolean for whether the submenu is visible, rather than keeping the
fragment tag. There's only one fragment visible, so this makes more
sense.
