update notes from cocos2d-1.0.1-x-0.12 to cocos2d-1.0.1-x-0.13.0-beta release

Today, cocos2d-1.0.1-x-0.13.0-beta is released.

And if you want to update to this new version, there are some minor changes you may need to do when you updated.

1. CCTouch remove the view() method.

So, if you want to detect touches, you need change your code like below.

Before:

CCPoint touchPoint = touch->locationInView( touch->view() );

After:

CCPoint touchPoint = touch->locationInView();

2. ccc4() has changed to ccc4f().

That's straight-forward changed. Just rename your function call from ccc4() to ccc4f().


BTW, there is another change that the android.mk under helloworld folder is gone. You may take your eyes on that and check if everything is fine if you build iOS & Android dual-platform project like me.


BTW2, don't forget to take a look on our cocos2d-x game: ChickenEggs both on iOS and Android. Now we have integrated facebook and twitter share features on that.(・ω・)

Upgrade with cocos2d-1.0.1-x-0.12.0 and integrated with your original JNI functions...

Here are some notes that when I upgraded my game to .12 version what I learned about with new JNI architecture that cocos2d-x used.

Question 1：In the jni\helloworld\main.cpp, you can find there is already JNI_Onload() there. Yes, that means you can't implement your JNI_Onload.

Solution：You can call RegisterNatives() at JNI_Onload() which at main.cpp instead to register your jni class.

Something like the code below :

jclass clazz;
JNIEnv *env;
vm->GetEnv((void**) &env, JNI_VERSION_1_6);
const char *classPathName = "com/zhihmeng/ChickenEggsX/ChickenEggsX";
JNINativeMethod methods[] = {
{"init", "(Ljava/lang/Object;)V",
(void *)Java_com_zhihmeng_ChickenEggsX_ChickenEggsX_init},
};
clazz = env->FindClass(classPathName);
if (clazz == NULL) {
// LOGE("Native registration unable to find class '%s'", className);
return JNI_FALSE;
}
if (env->RegisterNatives(clazz, methods, sizeof(methods) / sizeof(methods[0])) < 0) { // LOGE("RegisterNatives failed for '%s'", className); return JNI_FALSE; } Question 2：You may do some modifications on your JNI class, and JniHelper make these thing easier. Solution：Use JniHelper to get some static method info like MessageJni.cpp(located at cocos2dx\platform\android\jni) does and call your method by it. The code will like below： JniMethodInfo t; if (JniHelper::getStaticMethodInfo(t , "com/zhihmeng/ChickenEggsX/ChickenEggsX" , "exportToShare" , "()V")) { t.env->CallStaticVoidMethod(t.classID, t.methodID);
}

Finally, thanks the tweaks of cocos2d-x new JniHelper, it make jni calling more elegant.
