RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - myghalloween - 2020-05-02
I use Solid Explorer but it pays. You can use X-Plore.
I've made research too and seems To be difficult To find helpful posts.
The final command line should get closer to that :
Code:
start --user 0 -n [packageName]/[.activityName] -a Android.intent.[actionName] /b /e "%rom%"packageName and .activityName can be found in AndroidManifest.xml which is in the APK file. Extract APK To view AndroidManifest.xml

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - myghalloween - 2020-05-02
We are getting closer !
Try this in your AEL argument field
Code:
start --user 0 -n org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu/org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu.ui.main.MainActivity -a android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /b /e "%rom%"And don't forget this in AEL application field
Code:
/system/bin/amWhen it's done post me the launcher.xml
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - myghalloween - 2020-05-02
I tested several variants from my smartphone (Dolphin compatible), but I did not manage to launch.
@Wintermute0110 here is my log, if you have an idea so we can move on
A recent lead with an early response on Hyperspin for Shield
mod edit - log spam removed and transferred to https://paste.kodi.tv/ohezobudab.kodi

@myghalloween - which part of "Do not post logs in the forum. Use https://paste.kodi.tv/ instead." is unclear to you?
This time I've transferred it, but such occurrences will usually just be removed.

I take a look to my log and I even can't see that I'm trying to launch something with AEL. Unlike your log that clearly shows error.
Here's my log but I'm prety sure that won't help

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - jaylo - 2020-05-04
Hello, there is an android tv, installed ael, then added xml categories, but I don’t understand how to add retroarch and add games in library
?
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - myghalloween - 2020-05-04
This post is dedicated To AEL. We can help you for create a launcher in AEL, but for Retroarch setting in order To launch game I think you should go To Retroarch posts.
I advise you that it's better To use Standalone emulators than a multi-emulators like RA.

In that case AEL runs the process but returns after a few ms with return code 0 (success). Probably there is some mistake in the Dolphin arguments.

You have many examples of Retroarch configuration in Android in the AEL Asset Library. I think is perfectly fine to use Retroarch, the reason is that you need to configure your emulator once (setting up controls, etc.) and then you have access to dozens of platforms. Note that once you get one Retroarch core/platform working is very easy to create another Retroarch launcher for another platform, just need to change the core name.
If you have some trouble post a debug log as indicated in the first post, and use a pastebin service so forum moderators (and myself) are happy
It's much easy to read the log from the pastebin service and additionally the forum is cleaner.

Please enable DEBUG in AEL settings BUT not in Kodi settings. If you enable debug in Kodi settings the log has so much information is very difficult to read.

I do not see anything unusual in the log, the process
/system/bin/am launches and returns with no error. However, execution last for a few dozen ms, which suggest that there is some kind of error with the /system/bin/am parameters. Also, you are using the --user 0 arguments, is your device rooted? That could be the cause.I have a hunch. Can you change
Code:
org.dolphinemu.dolphin-emu/org.dolphinemu.dolphin-emu.ui.main.MainActivitywith
