React Native playground not working

[samevision]

Hello,

it is the first time I try to create a native app so everything is new to me. I am experienced with react so that shouldn’t be a problem but I fail at setting up the playground for android environment on windows. I followed the github readme, installed all dependencies and set all environment variables.

Starting the emulator from console or android studio works fine but if I tap on the app icon the playground app opens for one second and closes. Metro doesn’t show an error or something helpful. Any idea what the problem could be?

In addition to that is there anything I have to keep in mind to create a new app? Or do I just have to copy/paste the Apps/Playground directory to be ready to go?

Thanks for your advise.

Best

Adding @Cedric and @bghgary for the native part.

I noticed that the useEngine hook always returns undefined wherefore everything obviously fails. The node_modules for Modules@babylonjs\react-native were not installed initially so I called npm i in this directory. Now the EngineHook.ts doesn’t show any errors but I still receive undefined as engine. Any suggestions?

I also tried to set up a whole new independent project folder. There I don’t load babylonjs react native via the cloned github repo but just like every other node module. Still no success.

EDIT:

I dig deeper and realized that the code can’t pass:

await BabylonNative.initializationPromise

in ReactNativeEngine.ts

It waits forever since the nativeEngine can’t be created, but why? I would really appreciate if you could give me a hint @Cedric and @bghgary. I am using babylonReactNative @0.4.0-alpha.14 and babylonjs @5.0.0-alpha.14. I also tried other bjs version but e.g. alpha.17 throws an error if I run the android emulator.

Hey @samevision - can you clarify, are you trying to build the Playground app in the Babylon React Native repo, or are you trying to build your own app? In your original post it sounded like the former, but then in your most recent post you talked about which version of @babylonjs/react-native you have installed.

I’m also unclear whether the app is crashing/exiting (as indicated in your original post), or just never initializing (as indicated in your later post). Can you clarify this as well?

I would suggest starting with the Playground and make sure you can get that to work. useEngine is expected to initially return undefined and later will return an engine instance once the async setup is complete. If the async setup is not completing, then the next step would be to debug the native code. If you run with the debugger attached in Android Studio, you can put a breakpoint here: BabylonReactNative/BabylonNative.cpp at master · BabylonJS/BabylonReactNative (github.com). This is where that promise is resolved.

If you aren’t getting there and aren’t getting in the enclosing function (UpdateView), then I’d put a breakpoint here: BabylonReactNative/EngineView.java at master · BabylonJS/BabylonReactNative (github.com). This is where UpdateView is called from the Java side.

If your app is crashing/exiting on startup, then I’d look for errors/exceptions in the logcat window within Android Studio.

Hey @ryantrem,

thank you for your response.

Yes, initially I was trying to create the playground app according to the instructions of the github page but since this didn’t work I tried a few different things. You’re right, it makes sense to get the playground app to work before creating another app. So I removed everything and cloned the github repo again.

The app is starting but closes immediately. useEngine is definitely not returning anything so the async setup is not completing. I put in the two breakpoints to debug the native code:

The UpdateView function is reached so that should be fine.

The promise instead is not resolved in BabylonNative.cpp. The code will be aborted in BgfxCallback.cpp:37:

The logcat displayed the following error:

6120-6120/com.playground A/libc: Fatal signal 6 (SIGABRT), code -1 (SI_QUEUE) in tid 6120 (com.playground), pid 6120 (com.playground)

Here are the logs before the error will be returned:

Any idea what could be the problem?

Are you running the playground on the emulator?
Did you check this page for OpenGL settings : BabylonNative/AndroidSimulator.md at master · BabylonJS/BabylonNative · GitHub

[samevision]

Thank you very much! The playground app crashed because I missed to install the Google Play Services for AR app. After this problem was solved I tried to create my own app but engine still returned undefined. I realized that I have to state style={{flex: 1}} for the SafeAreaView component. Now the engine is created

That’s quite surprising, I wouldn’t expect AR to have any effect on the app until you try to start AR. And even then, it checks to see if ARCore is installed and if not prompts to install: BabylonNative/XR.cpp at master · BabylonJS/BabylonNative (github.com). I wonder if this is an emulator specific behavior that you are hitting?

In any case, I’m glad you figured it out. Feel free to log an issue on the crash if Google Play Services for AR is not installed. Also, feel free to update the README.md with anything you learned about setup that you think others could benefit from!

[samevision]

Sure, I will check again if I can reproduce the issue to determine what caused the problem. I will add the points of this thread to the readme.

EDIT:

I checked it again and you were right. Google Play Services isn’t necessary so it’s enough to adapt the opengl settings. Since a rerun of the app is needed to apply the opengl settings I wasn’t sure if it was the app or the settings.

Dump question: How am I able to push to BabylonReactNative repo? I can’t due to lack of permission.
