mobilecontrol player on Android

Hi all -

Having a problem with showing a mobilecontrol on Android using LiveCode 7.0.

This code:

Code: Select all

on preOpenCard
   put "Little Fugue.mp3" into tMovie
   if the platform contains "iPhone" or the platform contains "android" then
      if "mobilecontrol" is among the lines of mobileControls() then
         controlDelete
      end if 
      mobileControlCreate "player", "videoControl"
      mobileControlSet "videoControl", "filename", specialFolderPath("engine") & "/"& tMovie
      mobileControlSet "videoControl","preserveAspect",true
      mobileControlSet "videoControl","showController",false
      mobileControlSet "videoControl","visible",true
      mobileControlSet "videoControl","rect","0,100,300,200"
      mobileControlSet "videoControl","backgroundcolor","50,50,200"
      mobileControlDo "videoControl", "play"
   end if
end preOpenCard

works great on iOS.

On Android devices, it shows the bounding rectangle, but it is completely black. The file does play, but because I cant see the controller, I can't start and stop it.

Any clues what I might do differently?

Thanks so much.

Would be interesting to know whether http://mobgui.com/doc.php?docId=20 works on LC 7 as this uses the native android player.

I'm seeing the same behavior when I use the MobGUI controls.

Any clues?

Thanks.

It is getting confusing knowing what does/doesn't work in LC7.
