Thank you so much! Your fixes worked perfectly. I just went back to
Sourceforge and copied the new Platform.java file over.

[Jmol-users] Fwd: Jmol for Android

[Chance Leachman]

Hello,

I am a 15 year old, beginning android developer. I started using Jmol in my
AP Chemistry class last year. Recently I have decided to make my chemistry
teacher his own app for his class. It will include reminders for homework
and other stuff, along with the molecule viewer, Jmol. I have finished
every part of this app except for the molecule viewer. Here's my problem:
After I downloaded Jmol's source code and built the application and put it
on my android phone, it showed a black screen. It didn't show any
molecules. Even when I went into ''mol' and typed in a molecule for it to
display nothing happened. My plan is to implement Jmol into my app, by
looking at the source code of JmolAndroid.

I'm pretty confident I did everything correctly. Here were my steps:
1. I did a svn checkout at Sourcefordge.
2. After that I went into the Jmol folder and typed "ant" which built jmol.
3. Next I imported the project into eclipse.
4. After that I ran Jmol for desktop, which worked perfectly.
5. After I did that I opened JmolAndroid, which contained 2-3 errors in the
Platform class. Those were the only errors.
6. I fixed those errors by #1: Adding umplemented methods, #2: deleting the
import org.jmol.util.Point3f; which no longer existed, and lastly #3:
deleted:
@Override

  public void convertPointFromScreen(Object display, Point3f ptTemp) {
// unnecessary
}
because org.jmol.util.Point3f; was no longer imported.

7. Now there were no more errors, but this lead me to just a black screen.
If anyone could help me that'd be awesome. Thank you!
