Can we use Dalvik with Tango

So I ran into the dreaded 'unfortunately....has stopped working' issue where art loads 2 classes and the debugger promptly tanks out - see this

So, in utter desperation, I switched from ART to Dalvik, half dreading a long session with ADB if the tablet got sour about the switch. Seemed to work. Tango works, albeit with a whole new set of head scratchers (flakier about getting XyzIj, flash is running, surface binding working, hell I can see the camera flashes in the surface showing the camera view - and if I try again and again, I do get tango point data :-)

Can I assume all the tango issues are of my own doing and keep using Dalvik, or must I switch back to ART and try to do all of my debugging through logcat ?

  • The answer to the question in title: Can we use Dalvik with Tango?

    You should always use ART instead of Delvik on Tango, Delvik will work but NOT stable on Tango device, it might cause the issue you experienced like depth out-of-sync.
