[Lunar Mobile Console] High-performance Unity iOS/Android logger built with native platform UI

I've tried the manifest. Somehow it screws up the touch delivery for the the plugin. Trying to figure that out...

 

@adamt, the problem might be in using com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerNativeActivity instead of com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity.

Changing your manifest from:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. <activity
3.         android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerNativeActivity"
4.         android:label="@string/app_name">
5.     ...
6. </activity>

to

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. <activity
3.         android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity"
4.         android:label="@string/app_name">
5.     ...
6. </activity>

Seemed to fix the problem.

I'm not an expert here but why did you pick UnityPlayerNativeActivity in the first place?

From Unity docs:

It is also possible to create your own subclass of UnityPlayerNativeActivity. This will have much the same effect as subclassing UnityPlayerActivity but with improved input latency.

 

Looks like it's working just fine, now!

The use of UnityPlayerNativeActivity was a holdover from when I was trying to use Amazon SNS for push notifications before switching to Parse. Unfortunately, a lot plugins seem to want to install their AndroidManifest.xml file at the root of your project's Plugins directory, which tends to cause all kinds of problems with other plugins. Since I'd already had HockeyApp additions in the manifest, I just tried to add Parse into the mix and missed the difference between its use of UnityPlayerActivity and Amazon's UnityPlayerNativeActivity.

Edit: But to answer your question as to why Amazon might've used UnityPlayerNativeActivity, the Unity docs make it sound as though it's more performant than UnityPlayerActivity. And if you're not targeting Android versions older than Gingerbread, maybe it's the way to go?

 

It seems like UnityPlayerNativeActivity breaks touch delivery to the native layer (that's why the swipe gesture and warning bar didn't work).

My plugin has no dependencies (both iOS and Android) and don't trash the editor menu. I'm trying to play nice with other plugins and don't piss off users. There will be one major release in the next couple of days (more fixes and better stack trace support). After that I plan to launch a Pro version of the plugin with some advanced features (like floating window, user defined filters and actions). The old plugin will remain free to use and open source.

@adamt, thanks for all your help and feedback: really appreciated that!

Hello everyone!

I'm working on a "collapse" feature right now. iOS is pretty much done: needs more testing and then it would be published on the Asset Store and Github

 

Hey there!

I'm happy to announce the release of version 0.1.0b!

Improvements:

• iOS: collapse similar entries option

The update is still pending but you can pull the latest package from GitHub.

 

Hey there!

Lunar Console v0.1.0b is now live!

Improvements:

• iOS: collapse similar entries option

 

Android logs collapsing is almost ready: still need some final touches and testing

 

Just coming across this. It looks awesome and super useful! I can't wait to download it and try it out!

 

Awesome! Let me know if everything works for you or if you have any questions.

 

Testing Android collapse feature. Hope to release in the next couple of days

 

Hey there!

I'm happy to announce the release of version 0.2.0b!

Improvements:

• Android: collapse similar entries option

The update is still pending but you can pull the latest package from GitHub.

 

Wow, how in the world did this slip under my radar? I have been making clunky debug output gui's for unity mobile... for years! I end up complicating editor testing by rerouting error messages through a handler that displays them on every platform, and it has been a headache for me. I have searched and found similar assets to this, but this is free? This seems so simple and clean? I am gonna thank you ahead of time, and go download and test this out soon! Regardless how well it works, thanks for your effort and for sharing!

 

Thanks for the feedback: it really made my day

Yes, everything is free and 100% open source. Give it a try and let me know what you think (especially if something doesn't work as expected).

Asset Store updates are bit slow so if you want to have the latest stuff as it's released - check the project's Github releases page:

https://github.com/SpaceMadness/lunar-unity-console/releases

Thanks again and have a great time of the day!

 

Sure I'll grab the latest from github and literally start using it right now. I do have one question - I saw your other (awesome looking) asset Lunar Plugin, and I am curious if these two plugins will be combined/compatible on mobile? Perhaps allowing you to do sorta a two finger swipe upwards to get to the console? Anyway I'll let you know if I break anything

EDIT: Awesome. You rock sir, you rock. I owe you a beer. This is super easy to integrate, super easy to use, and already providing me with useful info I otherwise would have to jump through hoops for - and even an email log feature? Wow! Greatest asset I have seen in some time, and best price to boot haha

 

Great to hear that! Thanks! Please, consider rating the plugin on the store if you really like it.

I'm want to blend Lunar plugin with the console plugin to create a great debugging experience for mobile. So stay tuned!

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.

 

@MD_Reptile, how did it go?

 

It went great. I'm thoroughly impressed. It's helped squash a few bugs already, and i'm just getting started with it. I'll certainly rate on the store.

Can't wait to see the future versions!

 

@MD_Reptile, great to hear that!

 

Version 0.2.0b is now live!

Improvements:

• Android: collapse similar entries option

 

@MD_Reptile, thanks for the store page rating: really appreciated!

 

No problem! Been using it daily, you earned it!

 

Lunar Console finally got 5 stars on the Asset Store! Thank you, guys!

 

Ahoy!

Here's some progress on a new feature called "Quick Actions": an easy way to add "cheat" buttons to Lunar Mobile Console

 

I didn't expect that but everything turned to be fine: my hope in humanity has been just restored!

Thanks @KrlinM for taking the time and figuring everything out and @MD_Reptile for the support (I really appreciate it)!

 

No problemo - I'll probably never make another project without using your asset, it's super valuable to my debugging! Figure since it's free the least I could do is support the $@!+ out of it ;P

 

Thanks, bro!

 

UI tests
...that's what I badly miss in Unity. Check out those boring vids: me working really hard to make the plugin stable!

iOS:

Android:

 

Found a small scrolling bug. Preparing an update...

 

Hey there!

I'm happy to announce the release of version 0.3.0b!

Fixes:

• Fixed scroll lock bug.

Improvements:

• Added LunarConsole.onConsoleOpened and LunarConsole.onConsoleClosed callbacks.

Changes:

• Auto scrolling is turned ON every time console is opened (would be configurable in a future release).
• Renamed 'LunarConsole' to 'LunarConsolePlugin'.
• Renamed 'LunarConsoleInternal' to 'LunarConsolePluginInternal'.

The update is still pending but you can pull the latest package from GitHub.

Please, rate and review the plugin on the Asset Store!

It could be of my own doing somehow, but I am wondering where I went wrong :X

 

Yeah, I saw this a couple times and not really sure why it's happening. I don't use GooglePlayServices or Support Library. It doesn't seem to be harmful nor breaking anything for me. What are the other plugins you use in your project?

 

Just your own, and Play Services Plugin (Latest) with GoogleAds-Mobile-Unity. I imported Play Services, then the ad package, and it seemed to work fine... then Lunar Console was last, and the error popped up at first.

 

Thanks. I'll look at it asap!

Do you still have everything working as expected after the error?

 

Doesn't seem to break anything after the error, I just ran the game in editor and it seems to work fine... I'll have to test if ad's show up on mobile or not, and if the console itself works, but idk... maybe it can be ignored??? Yikes I hate to release anything though, until I know for sure it is all good!

 

I've googled it a bit. It might be a Google Play Services issue and Lunar triggers it by calling AssetDatabase.CreateFolder:

https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/issues/1087

 

I'll dig it a bit and get back to you! Thanks for pointing it out!

 

Thanks for checking it out for me! I am testing on device right now, and everything (including the console) seem to work fine... so as far as I can tell it is nothing more than an annoyance right now, as long as you don't notice anything about that error that could cause any problem.

 

Sure! I would definitely prefer it to be resolved than ignored

 

Yes, I can confirm the bug in Google Play Games plugin.

When you enable Lunar Console for Android - the plugin creates a couple of folders in the Plugins directory of the project and refreshes asset database (more info here) which triggers this code from Google Play plugin.

Assets/PlayServicesResolver/Editor/PlayServicesResolver.cs:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. /// <summary>
3. /// Called by Unity when all assets have been updated. This
4. /// is used to kick off resolving the dependendencies declared.

7. /// <param name="deletedAssets">Deleted assets. (unused)</param>
8. /// <param name="movedAssets">Moved assets. (unused)</param>
9. /// <param name="movedFromAssetPaths">Moved from asset paths. (unused)</param>
10. static void OnPostprocessAllAssets(string[] importedAssets,
11.                                    string[] deletedAssets,
12.                                    string[] movedAssets,
13.                                    string[] movedFromAssetPaths)
14. {
15.     if (!Resolver.ShouldAutoResolve(importedAssets, deletedAssets,
16.             movedAssets, movedFromAssetPaths)) // THIS LINE THROWS THE EXCEPTION
17.     {
18.         return;
19.     }
20.  
21.     Resolver.DoResolution(svcSupport,
22.         "Assets/Plugins/Android",
23.         HandleOverwriteConfirmation);
24.  
25.     AssetDatabase.Refresh();
26.     Debug.Log("Android Jar Dependencies: Resolution Complete");
27. }
28.  
29. /// <summary>

31. /// </summary>
32. /// <value>The resolver.</value>
33. static IResolver Resolver
34. {
35.     get
36.     {
37.         if (_resolver == null)
38.         {
39.             // create the latest resolver known.
40.             // THIS ONE CAUSES TROUBLE: they should wrap it with try-catch clause
41.             _resolver = Activator.CreateInstance("GooglePlayServices", CurrentResolverName) as IResolver;
42.         }
43.         return _resolver;
44.     }
45. }
46.  
47.  

I'm preparing a pull request for the Google Play Games repo now.

I can't do much on Lunar plugin side (this exception is caught before I can do anything about it). On the bright side, this issue won't affect Lunar at all

 

I can't really find this code in the repo. Guess will leave it as is
