Hi guys.

I was wondering if anyone has had much success sideloading Skydemon on a Kindle Fire HD or HDX. I know the devices dont have GPS, but for flight planning, it would be really nice if it worked.

My wife has just got a Kindle Fire HD, and I downloaded the APK from Google Play using APK Downloader app on the play store on my Samsung Galaxy S3. The APK installs after allowing non Amazon app store applications to be installed. However, when you run it, it looks like its about to load, but just goes back to the Kindle interface.

I cant see any logs. I suppose I'll need to investigate further with the Android SDK and developer options enabled. Sure would be nice if I could get at least the flight planning stuff working on it.

Many thanks,
Paul.

Hi Tim.

I'm trying to get some of the Kindle Fire community to look into this as well over here:

Here is a list of fonts installed on my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE which works:

Seems there are more fonts on the Kindle with ICE rom than the Samsung Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod.

Is there a particular font that xamarin assumes?

An interesting point. The stock Kindle rom seems to have had the same problem. At that point, I assumed that it was because all the play store stuff was missing, and thought that the custom rom with all the play store stuff would sort it out, but seems to have the same issue.

I was starting to think it might be GPS provider related, but the crash seems to have something to do with this:

MonoDroid: at Android.Graphics.Typeface.get_Style () <0x000a7>



I can only see getStyle() defined in the API here:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Typeface.html



Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Paul.
