Launch a libgdx game using MOE from iOS storyboard?

Hi!

  • Build iosglkview branch
  • Create new libgdx project with ios-moe module
  • Replace ‘IOSMoeLauncher’ code to:
@RegisterOnStartup
public class IOSMoeLauncher extends NSObject implements UIApplicationDelegate {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        UIKit.UIApplicationMain(0, null, null, IOSMoeLauncher.class.getName());
    }

    @Selector("alloc")
    public static native IOSMoeLauncher alloc();

    protected IOSMoeLauncher(Pointer peer) {
        super(peer);
    }

    private UIWindow window;

    @Override
    public void setWindow(UIWindow value) {
        window = value;
    }

    @Override
    public UIWindow window() {
        return window;
    }
}
  • Create new ui package
  • Create ‘AppViewController extends UIViewController’ class in the ui package
  • Add to class:
    @Selector("iosglkView")
    @Property
    @IBOutlet
    public native IOSGLKView getIOSGLKView();

and this code to ‘viewDidLoad’ method:

IOSApplicationConfiguration configuration = new IOSApplicationConfiguration();
iosViewApplication = new IOSGLKViewApplication(new MyGdxGame(), configuration);
iosViewApplication.initializeForView(getIOSGLKView());

See:

@org.moe.natj.general.ann.Runtime(ObjCRuntime.class)
@ObjCClassName("AppViewController")
@RegisterOnStartup
public class AppViewController extends UIViewController {

    @Owned
    @Selector("alloc")
    public static native AppViewController alloc();

    @Selector("init")
    public native AppViewController init();

    protected AppViewController(Pointer peer) {
        super(peer);
    }

    IOSGLKViewApplication iosViewApplication;

    @Override
    public void viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad();

        IOSApplicationConfiguration configuration = new IOSApplicationConfiguration();
        iosViewApplication = new IOSGLKViewApplication(new MyGdxGame(), configuration);
        iosViewApplication.initializeForView(getIOSGLKView());
    }

    @Selector("iosglkView")
    @Property
    @IBOutlet
    public native IOSGLKView getIOSGLKView();

}
  • Run ‘Generate actions and Outlets for Interface Builder’
  • Open Project in Xcode
  • Create Main.storyboard
  • Set Main Interface to Main
  • Add ‘View Controller’ to storyboard, and select ‘Is Initial View Controller’
  • Set ‘View Controller’ Custom Class to ‘AppViewController’
  • Add GLKView to controller and set Custom Class to ‘IOSGLKView’
  • Show ‘Assistant Editor’
  • Select ‘moe-main-interfaces.m’ and connect GLKView to iosglkView property
  • Return to IDE and run application

Sample application: IOSGLKViewApplication.zip (742.8 KB)
