react-native-helloworld

An example project incorporating the MotionDNA framework into a universal android/ios react native application

Setup

Before attempting to run this demo please make sure that you have taken care of the following dependencies

Ensure that you have node installed and then use npm to install react native as described below

Installing node

The simplest way to get started is to install homebrew on your system. You can then install node and watchman with the following commands

brew install node
brew install watchman

Installing React-Native Command Line Interface

You may install react-native with the following npm command

npm install -g react-native-cli

once this is complete, navigate to this projects folder and type

npm install

to install all dependencies listed in the project's package.json file

Configuring the environments for iOS and Android

iOS (XCode)

Navigate to project ios subfolder and run

pod install

to install the latest iOS MotionDNA SDK

Android (Android Studio)

Open the Android project folder in Android Studio Aside from instant run, install any recommended dependencies and build tools that are suggested

Running the demos

The hello world project is designed to work with both ios and android systems. It will run on the simulator or the actual device.

You can start streaming the app to your device with the following commands

For iOS

react-native run-ios

For iOS you will probably want to have the simulator open already as XCode 9 does not start the simulator automatically with this command

For Android

react-native run-android

Be sure you have the android platform-tools in your PATH environment variable so that react can access tools like adb to run your app. You may need to setup a virtual device first if you wish to use the simulator.

You may also run either app by using the standard build and run tools in each platforms respective IDE

Common issues

The following are commonly found issues and what can be done to fix them

For iOS

Double Conversion

This is a common issue seen when building the ios app in xcode and the following commands fix it. Starting from the base react-native app folder

cd node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.x/
./configure
make
make install

clean and rebuild the project

No member named '__rip'

This usually follows the double conversion error and can be solved with the following commands. Starting from the base react-native app folder

cd node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.x/src/

Now using your code editor of choice open the 'config.h' file. Replace the line #define PC_FROM_UCONTEXT uc_mcontext->__ss.__rip near line number 156 with

#undef HAVE_UCONTEXT_H
#undef PC_FROM_UCONTEXT
#if defined(__x86_64__)
#define PC_FROM_UCONTEXT uc_mcontext->__ss.__rip
#elif defined(__i386__)
#define PC_FROM_UCONTEXT uc_mcontext->__ss.__eip
#endif

clean and rebuild the project
