Yes, in your src folder under your .java file.. you probably need to change the index.html reference to app.html (see example)

package lnv.sencha.Touch2_MVC;

import com.phonegap.*;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Touch2_MVC extends DroidGap {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/app.html");
    }
}

and make sure the path is the same..

what java file? i can't find any reference on

file:///android_asset/www/

app.html

I'm still in the process of learning architect myself.. so I understand this is suppose to create an .apk right from Architect?.. very sweet, I will have to try that. Sorry about the earlier confusion.

I assumed that you created an android package (apk) using something like "phonegap for android" ? since you deployed this to your phone.
This automatically creates the "activity" java file.. which will look something like this..

package abc.some.name;

import com.phonegap.*;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class TestActivity extends DroidGap {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
    }
}

You will point the super.loadURL to the html file that launches your application.. So when you create your project using Architect and wrap it up in a .apk.., it can be deployed as an android app..

For more information google "phonegap for android"

I use eclipse IDE with the phonegap for android plugin and it does works well, but I will give Architect a whirl when I get a chance, to do this for me..

Having the same issue...I've created the apk, but when installed on a device I get

"Web page not available" The web page at file:///android_asset/index.html could not be loaded as:
The requested file was not found.
index.html

Is there a setting that needs to be changed or a solution to this issue?

Thanks!!

=======================================================
My guess, since I have not done this yet.. is that when your apk file is created it is automated to launch a index.html file

file:///android_asset/index.html

But Architect does not create an index.html file, but a app.html file
Is there a point where you can change your app.html to index.html before trying to create your apk ?

Thanks!! I was able to get this to work, but not how I would want to do it every time. What you suggested is exactly what I tried. After creating the application in A2, I changed the name of the app.html file to index.html. I then went back in to A2 and packaged the application creating the apk file. Then of course I copied the apk file to the Android phone. Worked like a charm, but I don't want to have to change the app.html file to index.html every time I need to create the apk. If anyone knows of a solution, please post it. Thanks for your help!!

Hi siriusb,

today I had the same problem (the same error message) as you.
I do not work with Sencha Architect but create my apk-files from the command-line.

Looking inside of the generated apk-file I discovered, that it did not contain the 'assets'-folder containing all the sencha stuff.
Totally crazy how this can happen...
My problem was that I just used the wrong command.
The wrong(!) command was 'sencha package build packager.json'.

Here my solution:
Navigate to the root of your Sencha project and do this command:
sencha app build package
just to package your applicaton or
sencha app build native
to package your application with apk-file to be deployed later in your emulator or on your mobile device.
That solved my problem!

More details for this solution can be found here:

Good luck for you!
