- Back To Bed
- Battle High 2
- Canabalt HD
- FIST OF AWESOME
- Knightmare Tower
- Magic Rampage
- Neverending Nightmares
- Night Riders

Soon another game will join that list.....

@bob-the-hamster:

I have my game, Night Riders, live on Xiaomi. I've just checked my e-mails, the latest build was accepted after 11 days!

Hmm, I have Chinese language support in Super Grid Run already, will see if I can get it onto the Chinese markets this weekend perhaps.

How did you submit it?

At first I was expecting to see a Xiaomi checkbox just like the MOJO one on the game submission form at https://devs.ouya.tv/developers but I never found anything there, so I just e-mailed it to OUYA, Inc. I *have* received replies from them about it, but maybe they are waiting for me to upload it to some place that I don't even know exists :P

I believe the info is on the github page which I do not have in front of me right now.

https://github.com/ouya/docs/blob/ma...omi_support.md

@bob-the-hamster:

You have to build your game with all the Xiaomi requirements in @Foppy link, then upload your .APK as always, and finally contact xiaomisupport@ouya.tv
All the detailed steps are on that link.

Edit:

It seems there are more game on Xiaomi now, pretty curious to know the downloads:

Actually, the downloads are on that shot:

Canabalt: 90k+
Back to Sleep: 30k+
Magic Rampage / Night Riders: 20k+
Knightmare Tower / Neverending Nightmares: 10k+
All the others: less than 10k

Don't know it is from when though.

Oh, wow, thank you all very much. That info at the github link is all completely new to me.

I had no idea that I needed a totally separate version of the OUYA SDK :(

This is going to be really hard to integrate into my game engine :(

What is it about that Canabalt...

I am reading here https://github.com/ouya/docs/blob/ma...va.md#releases about how to "Disable Xiaomi Screensaver" and it gives a small Java example. Unfortunately my knowledge of Java is near zero, could anybody help me figure out where I need to implement the .setKeepScreenOn(true) call in my java file? https://github.com/bob-the-hamster/c...nActivity.java I can find my protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) but the stuff inside bears no similarity to the example. Can anybody with some java skill point me in the right direction?

Try popping

Code:

---

View content = (View)findViewById(android.R.id.content);
        if (null != content) {
            // Disable screensaver
            content.setKeepScreenOn(true);
        }

---

in at line 181 in your code.

Thanks, Eldon!

Unfortunately when I went to compile that to test, I realized that the arguments to OuyaFacade.getInstance().init() are totally different in this version of the SDK, so it looks like I have a much larger can of Java worms to untangle than I thought I did.

Thank you anyway for your help.

Yea, the SDK changed a couple of updates ago, but it is for the better. I have not touched the China stuff yet.

Ah, I see. Looks like my engine is using SDK 1.0.13 and needs to be updated to work with 2.0. It already supports MOJO, but isn't new enough to do Xiaomi.

That's still the big question, are they buying.

Don't forget that devs have an extra step there, it's not just OE compatible for Xiaomi. Follow the github info.
