Cannot run a file in runtime versions

Candice

Hi! I created a test experiment to figure out how opensesame works and I can't seem to get it to work on runtime versions. I have a runtime version of opensesame on my computer and another on a tablet (acer Iconia One 7, android 5.0.1).

On the computer it flashes like it's about to do something but doesn't let me get past the "Opensesame Run" screen.

On the tablet it finds the file, allows me to put in a subject number and destination file for the data, and then when I click OK it closes OpenSesame.

Could I be saving the file wrong? Is there anything specific I should be doing other than clicking "save as..." on OpenSesame?

Thank you!

Candice

Also, I made it doing point and click, but here is the script, in case it helps:

This is a very important question so please take your time to think about it.
What is your favorite boyband of the 90s?

You´ve been a great sport but now the torture is over.
Thanks for participating!
Your data will most certainly serve no purpose, but thanks again!

Next up you need to click the mouse. Not sure why, just do it though.
This screen will stay until you press OK and then click the mouse somewhere random.

Thanks!

Hi Candice,

Welcome to the forum!

Could you post the debug file that the Runtime writes to your tablet? It should be something like /sdcard/opensesame-debug.txt and written to the main folder on your tablet. That file will often tell you more about the issue you are experiencing with the Runtime version.

If i had to guess based on the script you provided the issue is either with the mouse_response item (you should use the touch_response items on Android systems) or the sampler item (try to change your files to .ogg instead of .wav). But it could be anything, really.

Best,
Laurent

ps. Great questionaire

Candice

Hi Laurent,

Thank you!
I attached the debug file and the settings file. I feel like it might be a settings issue. I tried the changes you suggested, nothing. I tried one of the examples included in the PC version (attentional_capture_android) and it won´t even find the file in the SD card.

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much!

Knante

Hi Candice,

Based on the debug file it seems that you have not set the correct resolution of your experiment. All Android-based experiments require a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. You can change this in the main experiment item (the blue icon at the top of your overview panel).

Does the example file run on your tablet? It is possible that you are not able to find it on the SD-card: the file itself is hidden. All other files should appear though.

Best,
Laurent

When I changed the resolution and the soudn files to .ogg it worked.

Thank you so much!!
