Greetings all. I was able to devote the weekend to putting together the long awaited series on All things Amazon. I completed the first of three parts. In this video I show you how to install setup and run the kindle fire emulator to use for testing your GameCircle and IAP code. I hope to complete part 2 on game circle tomorrow and then onto IAP.

    Check permissions? That's what seems to be causing the problem

    May I change the location of Android SDK? from Application to home icon folder.

    Working on the GameCircle vid. That will need to be a two parter as there is so much to cover. Should have the GameCircle up on Saturday.

    @alarm656 yes you can move the android folder it needs to be located at root as I explain. Also make sure you have the Amazon SDK installed as well.

    Excellent. I am hanging out for the Amazon IAP video!!!!!!
  • The_Gamesalad_GuruThe_Gamesalad_Guru Member Posts: 9,922
    It's in the works. Got stuck on game circle. It seems you can't test game circle with the emulator as you can't access your nickname because the emulator has no Amazon home screen,

    when you get a chance FryingB. amazon IAP tutorial or even text guide would be so much appreciated. i've submitted 10 different builds and none of the has gone through. it's a bit frustrating now haha.
  • ultimaultima Member, PRO Posts: 1,207
    any one that's gotten amazon IAP to submit successfully, care to share your insights ? =) I thought i followed all the steps , getting MD5, adding an IAP item on amazon, setting up security profile, copying a long list of string to game salad publish.. am i missing anything?
  • The_Gamesalad_GuruThe_Gamesalad_Guru Member Posts: 9,922
    I've been trying to test IAP but unfortunately the emulator won't let me install the json as it keeps coming back as the sdcard storage is read only.
  • lycettebroslycettebros Member, PRO Posts: 1,598
    Do you need to use the emulator to test the IAP Gamecircle functions?

    Whatever, keep trying man! I have faith in you! [-O<

    I have a Kindle first gen but it's not supported so it's time to upgrade anyway to test my Android stuff so I'm going to pickup a new kindle this week.

    I do need to see it work as when I make a video I throughly test first as I want my videos to be as reliable as possible.
  • ultimaultima Member, PRO Posts: 1,207

    I am trying to remember how I did this. I looked at my notes and you have the first bit right "keytool -list -keystore (Drag and drop file into terminal window, leave a space before and after path)" but you also need to add your alias key name to the statement " -alias yourkeyname" and it should work.

    I know that @The_GameSalad_Guru is really busy outside of GS right now. You may want to post a new help topic in case he does not get to it for a few days. If I happen to talk to him before the weekend, I'll point him over to this thread.

    Add a space after -keystore
    If that doesnt work try keytool -list -v -alias [Alias Here] -keystore [Keystore Here]

    (example: keytool -list -v -alias BjandthekatzStudios -keystore BjandthekatzStudios.keystore)
